The BIG Lie: Energy Boffin’s Claims Australia Can Go 100% Renewable = 100% Fantasy

Renewables Rent-Seeker Round-Up: Time to Shame the Bad, the Worse & the Ugly
The next generation of Australians will be eager to string up those responsible for turning an energy superpower into an international joke. Coal, gas and uranium rich Australia shouldn’t be paying the highest power prices in the world; and it shouldn’t be cutting power to businesses and hospitals during hot weather, when demand spikes and … Continue reading Renewables Rent-Seeker Round-Up: Time to Shame the Bad, the Worse & the Ugly

No ‘Comparison’ Between Part-time Wind Power & Full-time Fossil Fuel

What we pay for something, and what it’s worth depends entirely upon what we get. And, in relation to the consumption of electricity, whether or … Continue reading No ‘Comparison’ Between Part-time Wind Power & Full-time Fossil Fuel
