The wind and sun cult never admit it, but if it weren’t for coal-fired power Australia’s grid would have collapsed, long ago. Chugging away for the best part of a century, Australia’s coal-fired plants continue to provide power reliably, on demand, whatever the weather. No need for batteries, no need for back up. And, as … Continue reading Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse

Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Hoping to be powered by sunshine and breezes is like musical chairs: the game designed to ensure that someone always misses out. Increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ means, however, that hundreds of businesses and hundreds of thousands of households get to miss out. Think wind and solar ‘powered’ Texas during its Big Freeze. Or think … Continue reading Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dik_wnOE4dk Australia is not the only country in the grip of the grand delusion that sunshine and breezes will soon completely replace nuclear, gas and coal-fired power. With another large capacity coal-fired power plant signalling its exit from the market place, the renewable energy ideologues are rejoicing. The engineers that built and ran those plants … Continue reading Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
Reaping the Whirlwind: Shutting Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia destroyed its last coal-fired power plant and now suffers the world’s highest power prices. Its economy is already a basket case, with much worse to come. However, RE zealots seem to treat SA in the same way that gamblers treat their losses: they never mention them, and … Continue reading Reaping the Whirlwind: Shutting Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Powering Australia: Keeping the Lights On Means Coal-Fired Power For Generations to Come
Australia is in the process of destroying what was the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply. The destruction is all down to heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Meanwhile, our major Asian trading partners, China and Japan are chewing up Australian coal and uranium as fast as we can ship it - … Continue reading Powering Australia: Keeping the Lights On Means Coal-Fired Power For Generations to Come
Breakout the Candles: Chaotic Wind & Solar Mean More Mass Summertime Blackouts
The chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left Australia’s Eastern Grid on the brink of collapse. The Eastern Grid connects Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Reliable coal-fired generators have been knocked out of the game, made uneconomic thanks to renewable energy policies that direct more than $3 billion a … Continue reading Breakout the Candles: Chaotic Wind & Solar Mean More Mass Summertime Blackouts
No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
It won’t be long before RE zealots are forced to accept defeat: wherever you look, coal, gas, hydro and nuclear keep thrashing wind and solar. Not simply because they’re cheaper, but because they work. And when we say ‘work’ STT means delivering power when and whenever consumers need it. STT doesn’t promote coal-fired power … Continue reading No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!
If you’re reading this post in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal-fired power. Don’t like it? Then get off the internet. And, while you’re at it, turn off your lights, your air-conditioner, let your smart phone run flat and, just for laughs, start tackling busy intersections without the benefit of traffic lights. Wind ‘powered’ … Continue reading Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!
Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
The world was overrun by insanely costly and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, thanks to an endless stream of other people’s money. Preaching the gospel about nature’s wonder fuels, isn’t simply about moral posturing and virtue signalling. It’s also about separating taxpayers and power consumers from their hard-earned: over the life of the Federal … Continue reading Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
Business operators have just worked out that Australia’s renewable energy policies are deliberately designed to destroy them. Concepts such as ‘demand management’ (state-ordered deliberate blackouts) are the natural result of seeking to run an entire economy on sunshine and breezes. This country wouldn’t be debating Josh Frydenberg’s National Energy Guarantee, the Australian Competition & Consumer … Continue reading Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
