Power to the People: Australian Voters Demand Reliable & Affordable Electricity & Coal Just Keeps on Delivering

The 2019 Federal Election was billed as a referendum on ‘Climate Change’. The Green/Labor Alliance promised an all wind and sun powered future, starting with a 50% RET and a crippling carbon dioxide gas tax, dressed up as a 45% CO2 emissions reduction target. Every political pundit from Perth to Penrith picked Labor to win … Continue reading Power to the People: Australian Voters Demand Reliable & Affordable Electricity & Coal Just Keeps on Delivering

Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory

  The ‘shock’ Federal election result has left RE energy rent seekers reeling. What was meant to be a Green/Labor landslide - with the promise that subsidies to wind and solar would double and be extended until kingdom come - returned not only the Liberal/National Coalition to power, but left the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory

Regressive Renewables: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Deliberately Designed to Destroy Wealth & Prosperity

Australia’s Renewable Energy Target reads like a National suicide note, but the land of Oz is no orphan in that regard. If the enemies of state were looking for insidious, all-pervasive policy perfectly designed to wreck an economy from within (while barely raising a murmur amongst the proles), they need look no further than ratcheting … Continue reading Regressive Renewables: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Deliberately Designed to Destroy Wealth & Prosperity

Shorten’s Green/Labor Alliance: The Electricity ‘Bill’ Australia Simply Cannot Afford

  Voters ought to think twice before installing a Green/Labor Alliance unless their objective is to destroy Australia’s prosperity, for good. The modern Labor Party, led by Bill ‘Shifty’ Shorten, is almost unrecognisable from its roots as a party born on the back of a sheep-shearer’s strike in Queensland in the 1890s. These days, it … Continue reading Shorten’s Green/Labor Alliance: The Electricity ‘Bill’ Australia Simply Cannot Afford

No Road Back: Obsession with Intermittent Renewables Causes Monster Power Price Surge

  Thanks to coal-fired power, Australia once enjoyed the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply. Not anymore. An obsession with wind and solar - expressed in the form of $70 billion in subsidies, $billions more in government underwritten soft-loans and mandated targets, backed up with punitive fines has sent power prices into orbit. The … Continue reading No Road Back: Obsession with Intermittent Renewables Causes Monster Power Price Surge

Destination Destruction: Labor’s 50% Renewable Energy Target Means Wholesale Industry Wipe-out

  Bill Shorten’s 50% RET is guaranteed to send power prices soaring, destroying whole industries and thousands of well-paid jobs. Shorten is a man ready to tax Australians out of existence, and is salivating at the prospect of delivering his blow-the-joint-up, socialist agenda. To get control of the Parliament, Labor will inevitably team up with … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Labor’s 50% Renewable Energy Target Means Wholesale Industry Wipe-out

Reality Bites: Cheap Coal-Fired Power Killing Dreams of Australian Wind & Solar ‘Nirvana’

Wind and solar don’t compete with coal-fired power; never have, never will. You see, ‘competition’ involves starting from the same position, running the same race, over the same distance, without respite, laydown or let up. Calm weather and sunset don’t trouble coal-fired power plants (or gas or nuclear, for that matter). But the same can’t … Continue reading Reality Bites: Cheap Coal-Fired Power Killing Dreams of Australian Wind & Solar ‘Nirvana’

Nuclear Power: Australia’s Happy to Sell it to the World – But Allergic to Using It

If you’re reading this in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal. You might be doing so thanks to nuclear power, but for the fact that the idiots that govern us banned it, years ago. Talk about wind and solar replacing conventional generation is just that. Talk. The dividend from Australia’s obsession with wind and … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Australia’s Happy to Sell it to the World – But Allergic to Using It

Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro

Give a sentient being a few moments of uninterrupted consideration and they’ll soon work out why wind power can never work. Start with the weather. No one plans a weekend kite flying expedition a month in advance. And circumnavigating sailors know not to announce their arrival date at the time of departure, for much the … Continue reading Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro

Australia’s Great Shame: Renewable Energy Obsession Leaves Thousands of Australians Powerless

  Australia’s maniacal obsession with attempting to power itself on sunshine and breezes has led to ‘The Great Shame’: a 140% increase in the number of homes disconnected from the grid, no longer able to afford power prices rocketing, year-on year, at 16 to 20%, leaving 25% of households unable to cool their homes in … Continue reading Australia’s Great Shame: Renewable Energy Obsession Leaves Thousands of Australians Powerless
