‘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
Want Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos? Wind Power’s Your Answer
Deranged and delusional, those that promote wind power come up with all manner of falsehoods to protect their beloved. One of the latest is that conventional generators, namely coal-fired power plants ‘fail all the time’. When presented with images like the one above from Aneroid Energy - depicting the output every wind turbine connected to … Continue reading Want Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos? Wind Power’s Your Answer
Avoiding Disaster: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Signals Warning to Energy Rich Americans
Laconic crocodile hunters aside, Australia doesn’t often register in the US of A, but its self-inflicted renewable energy fiasco has clearly placed it on the American radar. News of wind ‘powered’ South Australia’s statewide blackout in September 2016 rendered it an international laughing stock. It also set it up as an example of what … Continue reading Avoiding Disaster: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Signals Warning to Energy Rich Americans
PSST! Want to Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
You can wreck a first world economy in a heartbeat by relying on heavily subsidised and chaotically delivered wind and solar power. Australia is well on the way to doing just that, and South Australia managed to destroy all vestige of private enterprise (we don't count Commonwealth defence contracts, State make-work construction schemes and otherwise … Continue reading PSST! Want to Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)
Notwithstanding the hundreds of $billions in subsidies thrown at wind and solar power, their combined contribution to world energy demand remains risible. Present the hard numbers and talk about the unstoppable ‘rise of renewables’ (if limited to wind and solar power) sounds more deluded, by the day. Pumped up lines about our 'inevitable transition' to … Continue reading Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)
Renewables Hoax: Australia’s Biggest Retailer, AGL ‘Gets Out of Coal’ By Spending $200m Fixing Coal-Fired Power Plant
Renewables rent-seekers never talk about output, they only ever talk about capacity. Lines like the Windy Hill wind farm will power 30,000 homes, never come with the obvious caveat ‘sometimes’, and the rider that we can never say precisely ‘when’ that might be. Promoters of wind and solar, fixated on the hundreds of $billions thrown at … Continue reading Renewables Hoax: Australia’s Biggest Retailer, AGL ‘Gets Out of Coal’ By Spending $200m Fixing Coal-Fired Power Plant
‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply
Wrecking a power market and a power grid is a piece of cake: just add massively subsidised, unreliable and intermittent wind and solar. Ontario, Denmark and Germany provide pertinent examples. But there’s none better than Australia, particularly because it’s blessed with abundant coal, gas and uranium reserves, the envy of the World. Hijacked by renewables … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply
Move Over Cuba: Australia’s Renewables Debacle Leads to Mandated Power Rationing
One mark of a developed economy, is its ability to deliver affordable power, without fail. Resource rich Australia once enjoyed the cheapest power prices in the world, blackouts were almost exclusively the result of catastrophic storms, and there was no such thing as mass load shedding. Now, Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle has left it … Continue reading Move Over Cuba: Australia’s Renewables Debacle Leads to Mandated Power Rationing
