Australia’s Runaway Power Prices Kill Renewables-Rent-Seekers’ Dreams
Those who have spent the last decade or so milking wind and solar subsidies, probably thought the rort would last forever. When the Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target was upped to 41,000 GWh in 2010, renewables-rent-seekers thought that figure was set in stone. Until it wasn’t.

Wind Industry Demands End to Subsidies: Wind Power Now Cheaper than Coal & Gas-Fired Power
Admit it, we had you there for a moment. No, our headline is definitely fake news. However, if the wind industry was taken at its word (unlikely) then the subsidies would have ended years ago.
