The Dangerous Road Ahead: The Wind Industry – Status Report
There are good reasons for serious and responsible players in the wind industry to be concerned about the industry’s future, and perhaps even more about corporate and personal liabilities. Liabilities there are, but for whom and when will they come visiting, are in the process of being established.

Australia’s Energy Crisis: Hazelwood Closure Means Higher Prices & More Blackouts
The Federal Large-Scale RET has just claimed another scalp in the shape of 1,600MW of reliable base-load plant at Hazelwood, Victoria – as well as more than 1,000 well-paid blue-collar jobs and an entire regional community.

Retailers’ Call for ‘Emissions Intensity Scheme’ Signals End for Australia’s Renewable Energy Target
Willing to be accused of stating the bleeding obvious, electricity retailers aren’t in the business of not selling power; they’re in the business of selling power, at a profitable margin, to as many customers as possible.

Australia’s Power Grid Groans: Wind Power Obsession Threatens Lives & Livelihoods
Vain and dishonest, former Labor PM (and Muppet-in-Chief), Kevin Rudd has a lot to answer for. When his predecessor, Liberal PM, John Howard brought in a renewable energy target in 2001, it was set at a tokenistic 2%: clearly a sop to the wind cult, but for Australian businesses and families, a 'nothing to see … Continue reading Australia’s Power Grid Groans: Wind Power Obsession Threatens Lives & Livelihoods

Reality Bites: ‘Green’ Dreamers Struggling to Spin Away South Australia’s Failed Wind Power Experiment
*** It's been barely 5 months since South Australia experienced a state wide blackout on 28 September, when a typically vigorous spring storm delivered wind speeds in excess of 90km/h, causing the majority of turbines operating at its 18 wind farms to automatically shutdown to avoid self-destruction.
