In the ‘pigs might fly category’ sits the claim that intermittent wind and solar are the cheapest power sources, amongst all contenders. Were there even a shred of truth to that story, then renewable energy rent seekers wouldn’t be hounding policymakers at every turn to ensure that the massive subsidies they currently enjoy be guaranteed … Continue reading Massive & Endless Subsidies Destroy Claim That Wind & Solar Cheapest Of All

New World Disorder: Climate Cult Bully Boys Holding Australian Business to Ransom
Apparently, worshipping wind turbines and solar panels isn’t enough for the climate cult, which increasingly asserts its perverse influence in all manner of commercial dealings. Berating banks on where their funds should be directed - heaven forbid any financier considers ever bankrolling mining, especially coal, oil or gas; and naming and shaming any enterprise that … Continue reading New World Disorder: Climate Cult Bully Boys Holding Australian Business to Ransom
Society Wreckers: Renewable Energy Cult Determined to Destroy Industry Wealth & Jobs
Crawling out of a post Covid economic wasteland, requires getting industry and business back on their feet, which in turn requires reliable and affordable electricity, delivered whatever the weather.

In the Australian state of New South Wales, logic was tortured to death … Continue reading Society Wreckers: Renewable Energy Cult Determined to Destroy Industry Wealth & Jobs
Labor’s Power Brawl: ALP’s Hard-Green Left Destroying Workers’ Party With Wind & Solar Obsession
Australia’s Labor Party was started in 1891 by QLD sheepshearers on strike, fighting for better wages and conditions; over a Century it became the party of ideas. Nowadays, it is unrecognizable, on either score. A hard-green left intelligentsia hijacked the party, long ago; pushing nonsensical CO2 emissions and renewable energy targets, and an anti-mining … Continue reading Labor’s Power Brawl: ALP’s Hard-Green Left Destroying Workers’ Party With Wind & Solar Obsession
Hour of Power: $2 Billion Spent on Solar Panels to ‘Power’ State With Sunshine for 60 Minutes
In the wacko wonderland of South Australia, a brief burst of sunshine managed to ‘power’ the economic backwater for a staggering 60 minutes. SA is venerated as Australia’s Wind and Solar capital; and the renewables cult is heralding this, apparently, momentous event as their ‘Hour of Power’. Their childish cheering, ignores the fact that … Continue reading Hour of Power: $2 Billion Spent on Solar Panels to ‘Power’ State With Sunshine for 60 Minutes
Quiet Achiever: While PM Keeps Talking About Gas, Coal Just Keeps On Powering Australia
The Federal Coalition’s ‘plan’ to power Australia with gas-fired power plants it has yet to build, with gas supplies it does not have sounds more like palliative care than a cure for its self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. Having wrecked our once reliable grid by subsidising chaotically intermittent wind and solar, it seems it’s … Continue reading Quiet Achiever: While PM Keeps Talking About Gas, Coal Just Keeps On Powering Australia
What’s Chaos?: It’s When the Weather Determines Whether You’ll Get Power Or Not
STT often wonders which part of ‘calm weather’ wind power acolytes are still having trouble with? Over the last few months, the output from Australia’s wind power fleet has not only been erratic, it’s been utterly pathetic. Any other enterprise that delivered its goods on such a haphazard, sporadic and chaotic basis would be laughed … Continue reading What’s Chaos?: It’s When the Weather Determines Whether You’ll Get Power Or Not
Wake Up Australia: Time to Kill Renewable Subsidies and Avoid California’s Wind & Solar Disaster
Those who ignore history are doomed to suffer it all over again, even if it’s the recent history of California’s mass blackouts. Of course, Australians need only look to South Australia (its wind and solar capital) for an understanding of how an obsession with subsidised renewables is guaranteed to send power prices into orbit and … Continue reading Wake Up Australia: Time to Kill Renewable Subsidies and Avoid California’s Wind & Solar Disaster
Totally Choked: Australian Wind Power Investment Suffers Massive Collapse
Renewable energy rent seekers are fuming because Australia’s power grid can’t take any more of their chaotically generated wind and solar power. The massive daily spikes and collapses in wind and solar power output have made the grid manager’s life a living hell: Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Industry Keeps On Failing to Deliver the Goods As … Continue reading Totally Choked: Australian Wind Power Investment Suffers Massive Collapse
Dead Calm: Australia’s Wind ‘Industry’ Suffering From Prolonged Wind ‘Drought’
Australia’s wind industry has been suffering from the Big Calm - with dozens of occasions over the last month or so when the entire wind fleet’s battled to deliver more than a tiny fraction of its combined capacity. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Dead Calm: Australia’s Wind ‘Industry’ Suffering From Prolonged Wind ‘Drought’
