If the objective of Australia’s energy policy is destroying its economy, we’re well on the way. With more than $70,000,000,000 squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, both large-scale and domestic, power prices rocketing out of control, routine, mass power cuts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, and the destruction of … Continue reading Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco

100% Lunacy: Australia’s Power Policy Becomes Playground for Deranged Virtue Signallers
Australia’s energy policy crisis is like Game of Thrones starring complete idiots - every crazy plot twist is matched by something crazier still. The latest comes from New South Wales. NSW Labor opposition leader, Michael Daley isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last, maniac to suggest the world can be powered entirely … Continue reading 100% Lunacy: Australia’s Power Policy Becomes Playground for Deranged Virtue Signallers
Déjà vu All Over Again: Liberal PM Determined to Squander $10 Billion on Pumped Hydro White Elephant
Australia’s obsession with hopelessly intermittent wind and solar has rendered its power supply both unreliable and unaffordable: it’s time to stop digging. Except, on both sides of the political divide, it seems the obsession is one without reason or respite. Labor’s opposition leader, Bill Shorten is determined to destroy Australia’s economic prosperity - literally … Continue reading Déjà vu All Over Again: Liberal PM Determined to Squander $10 Billion on Pumped Hydro White Elephant
Labor’s 50% RET: Rocketing Power Prices Bring Guaranteed Economic Destruction
Australia’s renewable energy policy is already a disaster. But Labor’s Bill Shorten promises total catastrophe with his National 50% RET. In yesterday’s post, STT picked up on economic analysis put forward by Dr Brian Fisher, which provided a wake-up call to Australians. The economic cost of current so-called ‘climate and energy policy’ is in … Continue reading Labor’s 50% RET: Rocketing Power Prices Bring Guaranteed Economic Destruction
Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle: Government Mandates Economic Suicide
Australia’s energy policy reads more like a Greek tragedy. An obsession with wind and solar has left Australians with rocketing power prices and an unstable grid. Renewable energy rent seekers have profited (obscenely) from the greatest government mandated wealth transfer in history: $70,000,000,000 worth of subsidies and soft loans will be thrown at wind … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle: Government Mandates Economic Suicide
Crunch Time: Can Australia Escape its Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Calamity Before It’s Too Late?
Everything about Australia’s renewable energy calamity was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Throwing $60,000,000,000 in subsidies at chaotically intermittent wind and solar was a pretty good start. Placing lunatics in charge of the entire operation sealed the deal. Australia’s Eastern Grid (covering QLD, NSW, VIC, TAS, ACT & SA) is on the brink of … Continue reading Crunch Time: Can Australia Escape its Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Calamity Before It’s Too Late?
National Suicide: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Driven by Wind & Solar Obsession
Australia’s energy policy reads like a National suicide note: power prices went from the lowest in the world to the highest, in little over a decade. Plotting the path to destruction is pretty easy: start by throwing $60 billion in subsidies at wind and large-scale solar, demonise cheap and reliable coal-fired power and put lunatics … Continue reading National Suicide: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Driven by Wind & Solar Obsession
Reliable Power Rewind: Australia Rebuilds Baseload With New High Efficiency Low Emission Coal Plants
Like pushing on string, adding wind and solar adds nothing to reliable power generation capacity: never there when you need it, and often there when you don’t, wind and solar are just a perpetual irritant to grid managers - the people attempting to keep the lights on and air conditioners humming this summer. On 25 … Continue reading Reliable Power Rewind: Australia Rebuilds Baseload With New High Efficiency Low Emission Coal Plants
Blackout Fallout: Wind Power Debacle Leaves Thousands of Powerless Victorians Furious
Everyone ‘loves’ the idea of wind and solar power, until they’re sweltering in the dark. 200,000 Victorian homes and businesses left powerless - after a sudden and dramatic wind power output collapse on 25 January - have got a taste of what wind 'powered' South Australians have been putting up with for years. And they … Continue reading Blackout Fallout: Wind Power Debacle Leaves Thousands of Powerless Victorians Furious
How Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroyed Australia’s Economic Competitiveness
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar have sent power prices soaring in Australia. Barely a generation ago, Australians enjoyed the lowest power prices in the world, now they suffer the highest. And it took a little over a decade - see above. In a helpful exposition of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply … Continue reading How Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroyed Australia’s Economic Competitiveness
