That Australia, an energy superpower, could back never-reliable wind and solar over ever-reliable nuclear power, astonishes the sane and rational. Especially as the Lucky Country’s known uranium resources are the world’s largest – almost one-third of the world total. Notwithstanding that glorious abundance, Australia banned nuclear power generation a generation ago. There are no nuclear … Continue reading Rational Reaction: Australian Unions Back Nuclear Powered Future

Reality Check: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
30 years, $trillions in subsidies and yet the combined output of wind and solar amounts to little more than a rounding error. Most sane adults would call that a monumental F-A-I-L. Meanwhile, ever reliable coal-fired power just keeps on delivering, where never-reliable wind and solar deliver nothing but a subsidy stream to their rent-seeking owners. … Continue reading Reality Check: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power

For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
There’s no rational explanation as to why Australia exports uranium to the world, but bans its use for power generation on home soil. Cognitive dissonance, might do it. Although STT thinks it’s because Australia’s run by infants and intellectual pygmies. And then there are the just plain gutless, who are too timid to even … Continue reading For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
‘RE-ligion for Rich People’: Green Guru – Michael Shellenberger Slams Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Environmentalists ready to slam never reliable wind and solar and back ever reliable nuclear are rare birds, indeed. Michael Shellenberger is such an animal. Lauded by environmentalists in the US, Shellenberger is not so much crusading for the environment, but waging a war against the hypocritical and pompous who drive global warming alarmism; a … Continue reading ‘RE-ligion for Rich People’: Green Guru – Michael Shellenberger Slams Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Power to the People: Australian Voters Demand Reliable & Affordable Electricity & Coal Just Keeps on Delivering
The 2019 Federal Election was billed as a referendum on ‘Climate Change’.

Every political pundit from Perth to Penrith picked Labor to win … Continue reading Power to the People: Australian Voters Demand Reliable & Affordable Electricity & Coal Just Keeps on Delivering
Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory
The ‘shock’ Federal election result has left RE energy rent seekers reeling. What was meant to be a Green/Labor landslide - with the promise that subsidies to wind and solar would double and be extended until kingdom come - returned not only the Liberal/National Coalition to power, but left the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory
Total Joke: Elon Musk’s Giant Lithium Battery Never Designed to Deliver Grid-Scale Power
Reefer-smoking Tesla tycoon, Elon Musk convinced South Australians to spend $150 million on a battery that could power the state for all of four minutes. Now that’s salesmanship! Even as a piece of propaganda, it failed: then Labor Premier, Jay Weatherill touted Musk’s battery as the panacea to his state’s power woes, as he tried … Continue reading Total Joke: Elon Musk’s Giant Lithium Battery Never Designed to Deliver Grid-Scale Power
Blown Away: Australians Reject Labor’s 50% RET & Plans for Giant Wind & Solar Roll-out
Bill Shorten’ 45% CO2 emissions reduction target and his 50% Renewable Energy Target was meant to deliver a Labor landslide. It didn’t. Bill Shorten and his acolytes believed that Australian voters would flock to his grand - ‘save the planet’ - plans for sunshine and breezes. Their propaganda wing, GetUp! made it seem like … Continue reading Blown Away: Australians Reject Labor’s 50% RET & Plans for Giant Wind & Solar Roll-out
