Renewable energy rent seekers and the wind and sun cult hate nuclear power because it works, 24 x 365, whatever the weather. It doesn’t need batteries and it doesn’t need backup. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will never amount to meaningful power sources - ever. No amount of finessing the facts can change … Continue reading Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation

Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers - using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that … Continue reading Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Unravels As Reality Grips Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
What’s dressed up as “progress” these days increasingly looks and sounds like a drift back to our Dark Age of misery, poverty and ignorance. Anyone who still thinks wind turbines and solar panels equate with Earthly salvation, is more than just a little confused. But that’s the very point and purpose of those pushing the … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Unravels As Reality Grips Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment
Weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar are the prime cause of Australia’s electricity pricing and supply debacle. So much is obvious to anybody who bothers to go beyond the drivel pitched up by the MSM and the politicos responsible for the disaster. Over the last decade, STT has laid it out in pictures, such as the … Continue reading Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment
Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Intermittent wind and solar are a guarantee of rocketing power prices and rocketing power prices are a guarantee of economic destruction. An energy-hungry world will never satisfy its needs by pinning consumers’ hopes on the weather. But that’s the model that our political betters have been pushing over the last 20 years. How we landed … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Manufacturing Unemployment: Net-Zero Target Will Destroy 650,000 Australian Jobs
Net-zero carbon dioxide targets are all about giving more subsidies to unreliable wind and solar which inevitably drive power prices through the roof. Increase power prices, as with any input cost, and profits inevitably diminish. Meaningful employment depends upon healthy and sustainable profits. So, as any student of that dismal science will readily tell you, … Continue reading Manufacturing Unemployment: Net-Zero Target Will Destroy 650,000 Australian Jobs
House of Pain: Net-Zero Emissions Target Means Rocketing Power Prices
Net-zero emissions targets are all about expanding and increasing subsidies to intermittent wind and solar. Power prices have rocketed in every country that’s seriously committed to wind and solar. The power pricing and supply calamity that’s currently panning out across Western Europe and the UK ought to register with anyone interested in reliable and affordable … Continue reading House of Pain: Net-Zero Emissions Target Means Rocketing Power Prices
Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Australia’s renewable energy target has subsidised wind and solar to the tune of more than $60 billion, wrecked its grid and driven power prices through the roof. Its manufacturing industry is in tatters (tens of thousands of jobs have disappeared forever); energy-intensive mineral processors, such as aluminium, copper lead and zinc smelters are on life … Continue reading Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Climate Warriors Furious Over India & China’s Insatiable Thirst for Coal-Fired Power
For years now, we’ve been told that “coal is dead” and that India and China will plump for wind and solar, instead of coal-fired power. Well, that’s the line being run by renewable energy rent seekers and wind and solar zealots around the globe. It is, of course, complete bunkum. With hundreds of millions still … Continue reading Climate Warriors Furious Over India & China’s Insatiable Thirst for Coal-Fired Power
Suicide Pact: Subsidised Wind & Solar Designed to Wreck First World Economies
One of China’s principal strengths is its ability to harness cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power. Contrast that with Australia’s energy policies deliberately hostile to coal and nuclear power, and it’s hard not to conclude that our political betters are in cahoots with the CCP. The Roman Empire didn’t collapse because the barbarians to … Continue reading Suicide Pact: Subsidised Wind & Solar Designed to Wreck First World Economies
