Just as Europe reverses course on its wind and solar-powered energy calamity, in Australia, the lunatics in charge of the asylum are determined to double down and destroy what remains of this country’s once reliable and affordable power supplies. With policies directed at wiping reliable coal-fired power plants off the map and rewarding the unreliables … Continue reading Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity

Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
Blowing up coal-fired power plants comes with a staggering price tag and Australia’s power consumers are paying it, with another round of 20-30% increases in retail power prices only a couple of months away. And that crushing blow sits on top of the routine annual double-digit increases, they’ve been suffering over the last decade.

Australia isn’t alone in experiencing a power pricing and supply calamity, all its very own making; Germans, Danes and Californians have enjoyed much the same and … Continue reading No Mystery: Calm Weather & Sunset Root Cause of Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
