Squandering $billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the cornerstone of the policy said to deliver the grand energy transition. Not that we have any say in the matter, but, if given the choice of paying rent-seekers to carpet the country in even more solar panels and wind turbines or joining the political malefactors … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Gambling With Other Peoples’ Money And Always Losing

World’s Energy Dunce: Australia Slammed For Embarrassing Anti-Nuclear Power Stance
Every country that’s vaguely serious about reliable and affordable power has nuclear power plants or is in the process of building them, in earnest. In the current global energy climate, Australia’s legislated ban on nuclear power is beyond embarrassing; it’s positively idiotic. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number … Continue reading World’s Energy Dunce: Australia Slammed For Embarrassing Anti-Nuclear Power Stance

Energy Scale: Nuclear Powered Future Means Thinking Big & Acting Now
When it comes to reliable and affordable power, big truly is beautiful. There has been plenty of focus on Small Modular Reactors which, in time, promise to revolutionise the generation and distribution of electricity. However, in the here and now, in Australia the heavy lifting is being done by large-scale coal-fired generators, with gas, diesel … Continue reading Energy Scale: Nuclear Powered Future Means Thinking Big & Acting Now
Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
A little over 20 years ago, Australia plugged in to the wind and solar transition with the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target. As they say, ‘sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind’. Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supplies are long gone, replaced by heavily subsidised, intermittent and costly wind and solar, backed up by … Continue reading Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
The ‘transition’ to portable electric generators, flashlights and candles is well on its way. The inevitable consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes is having power only when the sun is up and the wind is blowing, just right. Grid-scale energy storage is a myth, as is waffle about so-called ‘green’ hydrogen. The … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive

Conspiracy of Silence: MSM Runs Protection Racket for Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers
The glaring fault with the mainstream media is not so much what they publish, it’s what they refuse to publish. The truth runs a distant third to woke memes and fashionable mantras. How we found ourselves in a world where power prices are simply unaffordable, and power can only be delivered according the vagaries of … Continue reading Conspiracy of Silence: MSM Runs Protection Racket for Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers
