Wind and solar power were both founded on lies and myth, and can only exist when and where massive subsidies are practically perpetual. Now that it’s become impossible for them to hide the obvious relationship between intermittent wind and solar and rocketing power prices and grid instability, the pleading to maintain the subsidies that sustain them, … Continue reading Threat to Endless Subsidies Sends Australia’s Renewable Energy Companies Into Meltdown

Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind 'industry' would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply … Continue reading Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
America’s Wind Industry Squeals as Republicans Slash Massive Wind Power Subsidies
The wind industry is a lot like Peter Pan – the perpetual infant, hard-wired to fight, kick and scream to avoid the stark reality of adulthood. How often have we heard the yarn about wind power needing those life-giving subsidies (filched in their hundreds of $billions from taxpayers and power consumers) to continue for just … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Squeals as Republicans Slash Massive Wind Power Subsidies
National Energy Guarantee Spells Doom for Wind Power: Mere Threat of NEG Smashes Wind Power Outfits’ Share Prices
The wind industry in Australia is doomed, and it knows it.

Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Renewables rent-seekers are nothing if not sore losers. A heartbeat ago it seemed as if the subsidies for renewables would last until kingdom come, and wind and solar power outfits could get away with the completely unpredictable and haphazardly occasional ‘delivery’ of power at ridiculous prices. Now, PM, Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee has turned … Continue reading Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Wind Industry Lies About Falling Costs Backfire: MPs Demand End to Subsidies for Wind Power
The moral of the story of ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ isn’t don’t lie, it’s don’t tell the same lie twice. Renewables rent-seekers continue to stick with the same grab bag of lies, myths and furphies, despite mountains of evidence revealing their marketing pitch is just so much polished propaganda. South Australia (Australia’s so-called ‘wind … Continue reading Wind Industry Lies About Falling Costs Backfire: MPs Demand End to Subsidies for Wind Power
The Killing Season Begins: Renewable Energy Disaster Puts PM Malcolm Turnbull at Risk
In Canberra, political knives are being quietly sharpened in back rooms and corridors, with one target in mind. Malcolm Turnbull knifed sitting PM, Tony Abbott in September 2015, on the basis that Abbott had lost public support. Whatever Turnbull thought he might have done in power, if that included sorting out Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and … Continue reading The Killing Season Begins: Renewable Energy Disaster Puts PM Malcolm Turnbull at Risk
America Set to Cut Subsidies to Wind Power & Prevent Grid Chaos
Donald Trump is not the wind industry's biggest fan. And now that the damage done to once reliable and affordable power supplies by the intermittent and chaotic delivery of wind power is plain for all to see (look no further than South Australia), the US is out to avoid the inevitable. Starting with an investigation … Continue reading America Set to Cut Subsidies to Wind Power & Prevent Grid Chaos
Blackouts Beckon as Cost of Britain’s Wind Powered Energy ‘Transition’ Rockets
*** Britain went into wind power almost as fast and hard as Germany: the costs have been colossal and the effects on its power grid chaotic. Fortunately, however, David Cameron’s Conservatives followed an election manifesto, slashed subsidies to onshore wind power and gave planning veto rights back to communities. Inevitably, the construction of proposed onshore … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon as Cost of Britain’s Wind Powered Energy ‘Transition’ Rockets
Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Wrecking California’s Power Grid
While it's probably little consolation to South Australians, now well-accustomed to routine load-shedding and Statewide blackouts, every-time wind power output collapses on a total and totally unpredictable basis, the Golden State, California is in the same boat. These Off-The-Books Government Regs Are Propping Up Wind And Solar Daily Caller Andrew Follett Off-the-books government regulations heavily … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Wrecking California’s Power Grid
