Power Politics: Australia’s Energy Crisis Turns Voters Against Subsidised Wind & Solar
The well-worn mantra is that everyone is all in favour of renewable energy. And there’s something in it - right up to the point when they have to pay for it.

It’s the Subsidies Stupid: Wind & Solar Go Nowhere Without Bags of Other People’s Money
Time and time again we’re told that wind and solar power are not only competitive with conventional generators, but they’re practically free, and getting cheaper all the time.

No Comparison: Why Wind Power Can Never ‘Compete’ with Conventional Generators
