Australia’s ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes sometimes reads like the farcical plot of an episode of Blackadder or Fawlty Towers. In a ‘you couldn’t make this up if you tried’ moment, Australia’s ‘greenest’ States, Victoria and South Australia (which has been forced to wear its mantle as ‘Australia’s wind power capital’, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Premiers Red-Faced: Wind Power Fiasco Ends in Dirty Diesel Debacle

Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Renewables rent-seekers are nothing if not sore losers. A heartbeat ago it seemed as if the subsidies for renewables would last until kingdom come, and wind and solar power outfits could get away with the completely unpredictable and haphazardly occasional ‘delivery’ of power at ridiculous prices. Now, PM, Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee has turned … Continue reading Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor
Those smug know-it-alls that champion wind and solar power persistently claim the high moral ground, but religiously ignore the inevitable victims of their faux eco-zealotry: the poorest and most vulnerable in society, for whom paying for power has become an existential battle. To the billions in the Third World, where electricity has for too long … Continue reading Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor
Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
As that great frog-philosopher, Kermit reckoned, it isn't easy being 'green'. It is even harder when the cost of attempting to do so is, quite literally, crippling. Back in July, a family-owned specialist plastics recycling company in South Australia was forced to close its doors for good, with the loss of 35 jobs, after … Continue reading Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’

Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Australia’s diabolically destructive renewable energy policies have led to rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. Australian power consumers currently connected to the Eastern Grid (that connects Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania) have no idea just how close they are to watching their first total ‘system … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Renewable Chaos Shock Treatment: Australia’s Politicians Panic at Threat of Looming Blackouts
Australia’s self-inflicted energy ‘crisis’ is the consequence of considered and deliberate action that promoted weather dependent wind power and time-dependent solar power at the expense of the secure, reliable and affordable stuff. As the political panic spreads, it’s quite apparent, that those who created the disaster have almost no idea how resolve it. The PM, … Continue reading Renewable Chaos Shock Treatment: Australia’s Politicians Panic at Threat of Looming Blackouts
Malice as a ‘Virtue’: Cost of Subsidised Renewables Power Means the Poorest Go Hungry
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’
