Burning Cash: Renewable Energy Slush Fund Wasting $Billions of Taxpayers’ Money

If massive subsidies tacked onto your power bill and directed to wind and solar generators wasn’t enough, there’s a government backed slush fund channelling hundreds of $millions into the wind and solar scam, as well.

Suicide Squad: Green Energy ‘Experts’ Destroyed Australia’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply

Australia’s suicidal energy policies are the product of a squad of rent-seekers masquerading as energy ‘experts’. These sanctimonious windbags all carry PhD’s in spending other people’s money, and all graduated from the University of Endless Subsidies. The Federal Government has to share its responsibility for the debacle; it started it, after all. But, every time […]

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.

New Nowhere Land: Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens With Renewed Renewables Push

Forgotten People: New Wind & Solar Slush Fund Shows PM’s Contempt for Quiet Australians

  The great unwashed in Australia’s suburbs and regions worked out long ago that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar represent a problem, rather than a solution.

Turnbull Plays ‘The Man from Snowy River’ in Uncosted Pumped Hydro Plan

Hardly renowned for his political masterstrokes, Malcolm Turnbull has just drenched the opposition with his Snowy 2.0 plan. The Snowy Hydro Scheme is – without doubt – the single greatest renewable energy project ever built in Australia – with a mammoth 3,950 MW of capacity, which is available on-demand (unlike the infantile nonsense that is wind […]

Chaotic Wind Power Shunned: Coalition to Use ‘Green’ Slush Fund to Build Coal-Fired Power Plants

*** The political climate surrounding energy policy in Australia is febrile. However, nervous and feverish excitement is hardly conducive to sensible solutions. Bill Shorten’s Labor opposition is turning itself inside out as it struggles to come to grips with the political punishment that will be meted out by voters who have already worked out that […]

Australian Power Retailers Give Renewable Energy Target 3 Years to Live

In this little piece from The Australian, keep an eye out for some truly desperate characters, who are having real trouble coming to terms with the fact that Australia’s electricity retailers have given the LRET no more than three years to live. Investment stalemate puts renewable energy target at risk The Australian Andrew White 16 […]

Australian Wind Industry’s ‘Armageddon’: PM Chops Public Finance for Wind Power

**** To call the mood amongst the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers “hysterical” is mastery in understatement. Their future is not just dark and dismal; it’s heading from catastrophic to cataclysmic. On every battlefront the wind industry is taking a pounding. New research confirming adverse health effects caused by incessant low-frequency noise and infrasound […]

Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator Doles Out $Billions in Subsidies to Non-Compliant Wind Farms

**** Last week saw some of the most bizarre “fun and games” ever seen before the Australian Senate, as the wind industry’s “friendlies” in the employ of the Government or its Agencies – such as the Clean Energy Regulator (CER), Clean Energy Finance Coporation (CEFC) and the NHMRC – were grilled over a range of […]
