Worshipping windmills and posing prostrate before panels is a fast track towards being regarded by one’s peers as the King or Queen of the Virtue Signallers. Moral posturing begins with an appropriately preened identity, which can be paraded in front of all, provided that it’s PC perfect. Hence, the use of a motley bearded, hipster … Continue reading Malice as a ‘Virtue’: Cost of Subsidised Renewables Power Means the Poorest Go Hungry

America’s Top Green – Michael Shellenberger – Pushes Nuclear Future & Calls Wind & Solar ‘The Worst for the Enviroment’
In the climate alarmists’ worldwide crusade against carbon dioxide gas, only the most delusional still believe that wind and solar power add anything to their arsenal. Australia is the only G20 country with a legislated prohibition on nuclear power generation. However, the combination of the Federal government's new National Energy Guarantee (NEG) and the associated Emissions Obligation … Continue reading America’s Top Green – Michael Shellenberger – Pushes Nuclear Future & Calls Wind & Solar ‘The Worst for the Enviroment’
Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Fiasco: Product of Political Treachery
Last Sunday, STT detailed the workings of Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee and the associated Emissions Obligation faced by power retailers. Not that we were out to defend it. Indeed, while it has some promise of restoring stability to Australia’s electricity grid (being pushed to the brink of collapse by a ludicrous attempt to run … Continue reading Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Fiasco: Product of Political Treachery
FAIL: PM’s Power Market ‘Game Changer’ Still Wedded in Delusion
Malcolm Turnbull’s attempt to save Australia’s electricity grid from imminent collapse has been tagged the National Energy Guarantee. Whether or not it guarantees that the lights stay on and the economy can keep limping along, is anybody’s guess. However, it is a guarantee of controversy. When the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers finally tumble … Continue reading FAIL: PM’s Power Market ‘Game Changer’ Still Wedded in Delusion
What Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Really Costs: And It’s Simply Staggering
A story that emerged last week involved the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission making a botch of an ‘investigation’ into the causes of Australia’s rocketing power prices. There were plenty of solid efforts correcting the ACCC’s unforced errors, here’s one from Andrew Bolt. No, Journalists are wrong. Green schemes don't add "just" 7% to Power … Continue reading What Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Really Costs: And It’s Simply Staggering
Renewables Debacle Rolls On: Power Politics Always & Everywhere About Power Prices
That a government decides to entertain a moment of self-congratulation - simply because the lights might stay on - would be understandable, if the Country in question was North Korea or Cuba. However, the primary purpose of Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee is just that: allowing the Federal government to claim ‘mission accomplished’, if Australia … Continue reading Renewables Debacle Rolls On: Power Politics Always & Everywhere About Power Prices
Renewables Debacle Double-Up: National Energy Guarantee Renders RET Redundant
Sometimes there is only room enough in town for a single gunslinger. As Gary Cooper demonstrated, more than once, when it comes to a showdown, one or more of them has to go. Because Malcolm Turnbull’s proposal for a National Energy Guarantee is a policy directed at undoing the obvious and inevitable harm that the … Continue reading Renewables Debacle Double-Up: National Energy Guarantee Renders RET Redundant
Blackouts Loom: National Energy Guarantee Aims to Keep Australia’s Lights On When the Wind Stops Blowing
With reliable power in short supply this coming Summer (and beyond), PM, Malcolm Turnbull was bound to act. In yesterday’s post, we detailed how the National Energy Guarantee is meant to work, what it does and what it will not do. At the heart of the NEG is a simple objective: keep everyone’s lights and … Continue reading Blackouts Loom: National Energy Guarantee Aims to Keep Australia’s Lights On When the Wind Stops Blowing
PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
Politics is a cruel caper, at the best of times. And, in Australia, power politics is merciless. A decade and-a-half of government intervention in the power market has left Australia with the highest power prices in the world and a grid on the brink of collapse. The disaster is largely down to distortions caused by … Continue reading PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
