Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless

Power Shock: Renewables Meltdown Leaves Australians With Power Shortages & Crippling Power Bills
The erratic and occasional delivery of wind and solar has sent wholesale power prices into orbit and major energy users are simply being chopped from the grid when wind and/or solar output hits the floor. Consumers have just been hit with retail power bills which are between 20 and 30% higher than the same time last … Continue reading Power Shock: Renewables Meltdown Leaves Australians With Power Shortages & Crippling Power Bills
No Contest: Coal-Fired Power Outright Winner In Reliable & Affordable Energy Wars
China, India and Indonesia are building hundreds of coal-fired power plants because they deliver electricity all day, every day at prices that everyone can afford.

But allow the deluded wind and sun … Continue reading Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
The renewable energy pit deepens, but there’s no indication the dolts in charge will ever stop digging. The, by now obvious, consequences of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes include another annual power price increase of over 20% this month and routine power rationing by postcode. In response, there’s a growing groundswell of hostility … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason

Notwithstanding the unfolding power pricing and supply calamity - driven by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar - its new Labor Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, more Elmer Fudd than Bob Hawke, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment
Weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar are the prime cause of Australia’s electricity pricing and supply debacle. So much is obvious to anybody who bothers to go beyond the drivel pitched up by the MSM and the politicos responsible for the disaster. Over the last decade, STT has laid it out in pictures, such as the … Continue reading Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment
