The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies, myths and propaganda and run on subsidies. As wind power ‘investor’ Warren Buffett put it: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Buffett might … Continue reading Money For Jam: Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar The Greatest Subsidy Scam In History

Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy
The industrial revolution was all about harnessing cheap and reliable energy. Australia’s de-industrialisation has reversed that process. An obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has sent Australian power prices through the roof. Energy hungry businesses such as mining, mineral processing and manufacturing are watching their profit margins evaporate. Pretty soon those … Continue reading Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy
Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up
That troubled teenage, Greta the Fretter has reignited the nonsense that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The girl that can see carbon dioxide gas, heads up a mathematically challenged group, who pronounce the time and date when the world will happily operate without generating any CO2 at all, … Continue reading Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up
Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Lamenting their rocketing power bills and dreading mass blackouts this coming summer, Australians can be forgiven for their sense of despair. Australians once enjoyed the world’s cheapest power, reliably delivered, just like running water. No one talked about their power bills at backyard barbecues, or kept promising themselves that must have diesel generator to keep … Continue reading Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Subsidised into existence, intermittent wind and solar now pose existential threats to Australia’s once reliable power supply, this summer and beyond. No industrialised country has ever run itself on sunshine and breezes; no country serious about maintaining first world living standards, ever will. So just how Australia’s energy boffins still cling to the notion … Continue reading Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Policy Burn Out: Rocketing Power Prices Product of Government Obsession with Unreliable Wind & Solar
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. So said Ronald Reagan, the folksy and affable 40th President of the USA. And, so it’s been with energy policy in the USA, Australia, Europe and dozens of other places where lobbyists took control of politicians and … Continue reading Policy Burn Out: Rocketing Power Prices Product of Government Obsession with Unreliable Wind & Solar
Blackout Bitching: Feds Blame States For Australia’s Renewables Fiasco
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. The circus started in 2001, when Liberal PM, John Howard introduced a modest Renewable Energy Target, which translated at the time to around 5% of electricity generation. Thereafter, wind power outfits, like the notorious Babcock & Brown (which went bankrupt and … Continue reading Blackout Bitching: Feds Blame States For Australia’s Renewables Fiasco
‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
Suddenly, the Australian press are treating wind power with the contempt it deserves, due to an about-face by former Greens leader, Bob Brown. True it is you won’t hear Dr Bob explaining why heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power is a meaningless power source. Bob won’t be talking about the toxic lakes of heavy … Continue reading ‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
End Game: Subsidy Wind Down Heralds Collapse in Wind & Solar Investment
Wind and solar power are always and everywhere the product of massive (and seemingly) endless subsidies. Except, there is an end. There always is. Australia’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target expires in December 2030. The 33,000 GWh annual target was meant to be reached with a surge in wind and large-scale solar capacity by 2020, but … Continue reading End Game: Subsidy Wind Down Heralds Collapse in Wind & Solar Investment
Neighbourhood Theft: Why Your Neighbour’s Solar Panels Are Costing You a Fortune
Electricity generation started off as an extension of science. These days, it’s all about vanity and virtue signalling. Not least those millions of shiny solar panels, which we’ve all helped subsidise – to allow our neighbours to bask in their own virtuous glow. At the theoretical level – when the sun is up and the … Continue reading Neighbourhood Theft: Why Your Neighbour’s Solar Panels Are Costing You a Fortune
