Australia’s mainstream media occupy a fact and consequence free zone, where the sun always shines and the wind always blows. How else can their cult-like veneration of wind and solar power be explained? With a growing group of National and Liberal MPs joining the Monash Forum, and dictating the terms about Australia’s energy future, … Continue reading Reliable Power Play: Monash Forum Australia’s Last Best Hope for Sensible Energy Policy

Monash Forum’s Renewables Revolt: Australian MPs Demand End to Subsidised Wind & Solar
Common sense rarely needs an advocate. But when the subject is Australian energy policy, common sense left the building years ago. Now, it's returned with a vengeance: 30 Nationals and Liberal MPs have formed the Monash Forum, to demand an end to the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time: massively subsidised, utterly unreliable … Continue reading Monash Forum’s Renewables Revolt: Australian MPs Demand End to Subsidised Wind & Solar
Killer App: Renewables Disaster Driving Australia’s Farmers to Bankruptcy
That coal, gas and uranium rich Australia is in the midst of an energy crisis is mind-boggling to most. Destroying an electricity grid and power market is very easily done. All it takes is to $3-4 billion a year in subsidies to weather dependent wind and sunshine dependent solar. That pricey and petulant pair have … Continue reading Killer App: Renewables Disaster Driving Australia’s Farmers to Bankruptcy
Australia’s Renewable Energy Chaos Has Investors Clamouring For Coal-Fired Power Plants

An idiotic obsession with wind and solar power, has sent power prices rocketing and placed Australia’s once perfectly reliable power grid on the brink of collapse. That those states connected to the Eastern Grid (QLD, NSW, SA, Victoria and … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Chaos Has Investors Clamouring For Coal-Fired Power Plants
Coal-Fired Future: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Puts Fossil Fuels Front & Centre
South Australia’s embattled power consumers determined to ditch Jay Weatherill’s Labor government and its maniacal 75% RET. While what follows is a whole lot less certain than outright immediate economic self-annihilation, South Australians aren’t out of the woods, just yet. Indeed, nothing much has really changed, at all. The weather is still the key determinant … Continue reading Coal-Fired Future: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Puts Fossil Fuels Front & Centre
Power Crisis Panic: Australia’s Energy Regulator Warns More Renewables Means More Blackouts
‘Panic’ and ‘delusion’ sum up the results of Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster. Panic at the threat posed by the occasional and chaotic delivery of wind and solar power to the grid; a threat already realised in Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia, which suffers the highest power prices in the world and is … Continue reading Power Crisis Panic: Australia’s Energy Regulator Warns More Renewables Means More Blackouts
Power Vacuum: Australia’s Energy Crisis Screaming Out for Nuclear Option
Crippled by its suicidal obsession with wind and solar, Australia is screaming out for politicians with the wit and temerity to push the nuclear option. Power prices will continue to rocket, and the routine load shedding and blackouts suffered in SA will eventually burst across the border, plunging Victorians, among others, into Stone Age gloom. … Continue reading Power Vacuum: Australia’s Energy Crisis Screaming Out for Nuclear Option
Australia’s Endless Renewable Energy Nightmare: Subsidies Worth $4bn a Year Run Until 2031
The line that Australia’s rocketing power prices will soon plummet is just a cruel hoax. The subsidies for large-scale wind and solar under the Federal government’s Large-Scale RET will total more than $60 billion over the life of that scheme: the Renewable Energy Certificates issued under the LRET have already added more than $15 … Continue reading Australia’s Endless Renewable Energy Nightmare: Subsidies Worth $4bn a Year Run Until 2031
