Already suffering the world’s highest power prices, Australian power consumers have watched prices jump by anything up to 28% in 12 months. The greatest increases occurred, funnily enough, in the all-renewable obsessed Australia Capital Territory, home to the Australian Federal Parliament in Canberra. The ACT entered power purchase agreements to buy wind power generated (occasionally) … Continue reading Liberal MPs Demand End to Australia’s Economy-Wrecking, Hidden $60bn Federal Power Tax

Josh Frydenberg is pushing a National Energy Guarantee which (as pointed out in last night’s post) could have … Continue reading Energy Minister Delivers Killer-Blow to Australian Industry: Mass Power Cuts Now Formal Government Policy
Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Down to Wind & Solar Obsession
At the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity is an obsession with intermittent and unreliable wind and solar.

No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
What passes for political leadership in this country is engaged in a wind and solar-fuelled economic suicide mission.

Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Dictating when and if power consumers get electricity was once the preserve of communist dictatorships (think the USSR, North Korea and Cuba).

No longer can industrial users expect to have power according to their business plans … Continue reading Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Out-of-Control Power Prices: Business Hit With 24% Hike

Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious

State Sanctioned Theft: Australia’s Renewable Energy Subsidies a $60bn Wealth Transfer
Selling electricity is a complex caper, permitting a sharp and mercenary few to make out like bandits, at the expense of the gullible many. In Australia, the power market was hijacked around 20 years ago, with the creation of the National Electricity Market. Then the game changed entirely, as chaotic wind and solar were added … Continue reading State Sanctioned Theft: Australia’s Renewable Energy Subsidies a $60bn Wealth Transfer
Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Crisis: 200,000 Families Can’t Afford Power
Relying on subsidised, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar results in rocketing power prices.
