A run of calm nights (particularly during very hot or very cold weather) reveals the utter pointlessness of intermittent wind and solar. And, so it is in the land Downunder. Australia’s hard Green-Left Federal government is doing its best to stare down reality, as its grand wind and solar ‘transition’ unravels. The so-called energy ‘policy’ … Continue reading Reality Collides: Constant Blackout Threat Spells Doom For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure
The claim that spreading wind turbines far and wide means you’ll have power around-the-clock is just more wind industry myth. Australia’s Eastern Grid provides all the evidence required to render that story plainly risible - and it can all be done with pictures. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all over … Continue reading Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure
Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and … Continue reading Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
Not So Bright Spark: Grand Renewable Energy ‘Battery’ Plan Runs Flat
Hubris drives the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’, which now depends upon the myth of giant batteries compensating for the vagaries of the weather and sunset. These mythical batteries come in all shapes and sizes and with enough added hyperbole have grown to include the entire island state of Tasmania. Touted with the rent-seeking classes’ … Continue reading Not So Bright Spark: Grand Renewable Energy ‘Battery’ Plan Runs Flat
Punishment Guaranteed: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Power Price Shock
The clowns have taken over the circus and are firmly in charge of energy policy, which in its design and implementation makes a three-ringed circus look like a Benedictine Monastery. It's said you shouldn't put down to conspiracy what can be chalked up to incompetence. Well, with Australian power prices rising at double-digit rates every … Continue reading Punishment Guaranteed: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Power Price Shock
Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Australia’s energy crisis was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Just over 20 years ago, sound engineering gave way to delusional ideology, obsessed with the notion that wind and solar would provide all the power we could ever need. The rest, as they say, is history. Over time it’s getting harder to convince youngsters that Australia … Continue reading Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Real Nowhere Plan: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Already Doomed to Total Failure
Sound engineering, not ideology sits at the heart of our reliable and affordable power supplies. However, in the veritable blink of an eye, engineers have been given the flick, so too, our good friends logic and reason. Australia might register as geographically significant and claims to be a world player, but still retains the mentality … Continue reading Real Nowhere Plan: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Already Doomed to Total Failure
Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when households and businesses need it, has absolutely no commercial value. Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Blackout Nation: Australians Latest Victims of Subsidised Wind & Solar Chaos
That Australia’s Eastern Grid is on the brink of collapse with a complete ‘system black’ on the cards comes as no surprise. The $7 billion in annual RET subsidies pocketed by wind and solar generators were designed to allow them to underbid Australia’s reliable and affordable coal-fired generators, destroying their profitability and, ultimately, driving them … Continue reading Blackout Nation: Australians Latest Victims of Subsidised Wind & Solar Chaos
Utterly Useless: Wind & Solar Costly, Pointless & Can’t Reduce CO2 Emissions
No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar; no country ever will. The idea we'll all be powered exclusively by wind and solar is pure fantasy and talk about giant batteries soon making that pipe dream possible is just as unhinged. The occasional claim that wind and solar satisfied 100% of power … Continue reading Utterly Useless: Wind & Solar Costly, Pointless & Can’t Reduce CO2 Emissions
