Wrecking a power market and a power grid is a piece of cake: just add massively subsidised, unreliable and intermittent wind and solar. Ontario, Denmark and Germany provide pertinent examples. But there’s none better than Australia, particularly because it’s blessed with abundant coal, gas and uranium reserves, the envy of the World. Hijacked by renewables … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply

System Reboot Required: Undoing Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster
For some strange reason, wind ‘powered’ Victoria and South Australia suffer wholesale prices around double what’s paid in coal-fired Queensland and NSW? Could it be that massively subsidised, intermittent and unreliable wind power has wrecked power markets in Daniel Andrew’s Victoria and Jay Weatherill’s SA? The graphic above appeared in The Australian, a few … Continue reading System Reboot Required: Undoing Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster
Business Becalmed: Australia’s Wind ‘Powered’ States Paying Businesses Tens of $Millions to Shut Down When the Wind Stops Blowing

Rocketing retail power prices (SA’s are already the highest in the world, with worse to come), routine load shedding … Continue reading Business Becalmed: Australia’s Wind ‘Powered’ States Paying Businesses Tens of $Millions to Shut Down When the Wind Stops Blowing
Blackout Nation: Insane ‘Reliance’ on Wind Power Delivers Pure Power Chaos

In 1919, after Engineer/Soldier, Sir John Monash returned to his home town of Melbourne from the Western Front, to a hero’s welcome, he set about establishing an electricity grid that would serve … Continue reading Blackout Nation: Insane ‘Reliance’ on Wind Power Delivers Pure Power Chaos
Dumb & Dumber: Wind Power Output Collapse Leaves South Australians & Victorians $400m Poorer
If the consequences for health and human safety weren’t so deadly serious, watching wind powered Victoria and SA plummet into North Korean darkness every time the wind stops blowing would be hilarious. Hot weather in Australia leads to a spike in demand, as householders and businesses crank up their air conditioners; it also coincides … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Wind Power Output Collapse Leaves South Australians & Victorians $400m Poorer
