Among other descriptions, the power pricing and supply calamity that is South Australia has been referred to as the ‘canary in the coal mine’, the consequence of its hell-for-leather renewable energy experiment. The ‘canary in the coal mine’ was, of course, destined to be sacrificed in order to save underground miners from the perils of … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Nightmare Contagious: Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Spreads

Australia’s Renewable Energy Experiment a Monumental Disaster
Experience is the most expensive teacher there is.

Despite monumental and irreversible failures such as Australia’s so-called wind power capital, … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Experiment a Monumental Disaster
Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster Puts Lives at Mortal Risk: More Powerless Pensioners Will Freeze to Death this Winter

Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster: Self-Inflicted Power Crisis Goes from Bad to Execrable
As witless as they are gutless, the Federal Liberal/National Coalition government is tearing itself apart over energy.

Freedom of Choice: Massively Subsidised Wind Power or Jobs, Growth & Prosperity

Back then, the ‘business’ was about taking that electricity and using it … Continue reading Freedom of Choice: Massively Subsidised Wind Power or Jobs, Growth & Prosperity

Australia’s Renewable Policies an Economic Suicide Pact: Alan Finkel’s Report a ‘Death Wish’
Among the leaders of fanatical death cults, Jim Jones was probably one of the more endearing and charismatic: in 1978, at ‘Jonestown’, Guyana he encouraged 910 of his followers to gulp down some grape-flavoured Kool Aid and the rest, as they say, is history (it certainly was for the faithful cordial consumers). The psychology … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Policies an Economic Suicide Pact: Alan Finkel’s Report a ‘Death Wish’
