Shattered dreams, dashed hopes and heavy hearts are the order of the day amongst wind and solar acolytes - thanks to the avoidable energy disasters playing out in America and Germany, during a bitter northern hemisphere winter. Sure, there are a desperate few still hanging on to the hope that it will all blow over, … Continue reading Nuclear Nudge: Everyone Talking About Nuclear Power After America’s Deadly Big Freeze

How to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Just Add Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australians once enjoyed the cheapest and most reliable power in the world; now they suffer the world’s highest prices and they’re lucky to get power, at all. Throwing billions at weather-dependent wind and sunshine dependent solar has had the inevitable consequence of destroying both the reliability and affordability electricity, in a country blessed with vast … Continue reading How to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Just Add Subsidised Wind & Solar
Hidden Cost of Solar: Sunset Delivers Power Price Surge As Governments Dictate Household Power Use
Hereafter, the lights will go on during the day and off after sunset. In the ‘even the Soviets couldn't have dreamt this up’ category sits a plan to force households to use power when they simply do not need it. Backed by the Federal government’s Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme - which delivers taxpayer funded … Continue reading Hidden Cost of Solar: Sunset Delivers Power Price Surge As Governments Dictate Household Power Use
Australia’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Rush Threatens Total Power Grid Collapse
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Now, amongst the myriad of energy commissars and boffins, it’s a case of avoiding responsibility for the disaster that everybody (save them) saw coming. For years the likes of Kerry Schott - head of the inaptly named Energy Security Board - … Continue reading Australia’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Rush Threatens Total Power Grid Collapse
Power Policy Hijacked: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Holding Power Consumers Hostage
A slavish obsession with intermittent wind and solar has reliably delivered unreliable power and rocketing power prices. The politics of power has been taken out of the hands of voters and is now firmly in the grasp of cashed-up rent seekers - hell-bent on parachuting their own pet candidates into green-tinged seats, across the … Continue reading Power Policy Hijacked: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Holding Power Consumers Hostage
Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
Tasmania’s recent announcement that it is being powered 100% of the time by renewable energy is so much fake news. Tasmania does, indeed, have enviable hydropower resources, which Tasmania can fairly claim to be a “renewable energy source”. However, Tasmania suffers severe droughts - just like every other part of Australia. And, when it … Continue reading Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Wind and solar don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they’re powered by massive and endless subsidies. Remove the subsidies and both so-called ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat. The perpetual claims about wind and solar competing with dispatchable generation sources, such as coal, gas and nuclear, ring hollow when talk turns to reducing the … Continue reading Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Australia’s renewable energy policy reads more like a suicide note than an energy roadmap. In a couple of months - as temperatures rise and, so too, the demand for electricity to power millions of air conditioners - the power rationing will begin in earnest (again) and the daily spot price for electricity will go through … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
A maniacal reliance on chaotically intermittent wind and solar poses an existential threat to Australia’s power grid. And Australia's power problems have absolutely nothing to do with the grid itself. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to the Eastern Grid during July. Spread from Far North … Continue reading Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
Wicked Waste: Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Project Australia’s Biggest Energy White Elephant
With a price tag in excess of $10 billion, Australia’s biggest pumped hydro project, Snowy 2.0, is easily its single biggest white elephant. Sure, the Feds have already squandered magnitudes more on subsidies and soft loans to wind and solar. And the purported benefit of Snowy 2.0 is to use excess wind and solar power … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Project Australia’s Biggest Energy White Elephant
