With reliable power in short supply this coming Summer (and beyond), PM, Malcolm Turnbull was bound to act. In yesterday’s post, we detailed how the National Energy Guarantee is meant to work, what it does and what it will not do. At the heart of the NEG is a simple objective: keep everyone’s lights and … Continue reading Blackouts Loom: National Energy Guarantee Aims to Keep Australia’s Lights On When the Wind Stops Blowing

PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
Politics is a cruel caper, at the best of times. And, in Australia, power politics is merciless. A decade and-a-half of government intervention in the power market has left Australia with the highest power prices in the world and a grid on the brink of collapse. The disaster is largely down to distortions caused by … Continue reading PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
Time to Tear Up Australia’s Economic Suicide Note: Renewable Energy Target Must Go Now

Experts Hope Summer Blackouts Bring Sanity to Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle
If Australia’s energy policy debate was a theatre production, it would be labelled ‘high farce’. Throwing $60 billion to the sun and the wind, destroying a grid which was renowned for not only its expanse, but its reliability and sending power prices from the very bottom of the league table, all the way to … Continue reading Experts Hope Summer Blackouts Bring Sanity to Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle

Australia’s Rocketing Prices & Looming Summer Blackouts Ensure Coal-Fired Power has a Long Way to Run
Reports of the ‘death of coal’ have been greatly exaggerated. Around 80% of Australia’s electricity comes from coal-fired plant; with most of the balance from gas and hydro, in that order. No amount of statistical finessing from the wind and solar industries can budge their presently risible contributions to Australia’s power needs above more … Continue reading Australia’s Rocketing Prices & Looming Summer Blackouts Ensure Coal-Fired Power has a Long Way to Run
Wind Power: The Mother of All Taxpayer Subsidised Scams
STT has likened it to the great corporate Ponzi schemes, pointing out, just once or twice, that the wind industry is little more than the most recent and elaborate effort to fleece gullible investors, in a list that dates back to “corporate investment classics”, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind … Continue reading Wind Power: The Mother of All Taxpayer Subsidised Scams
Power Consumers’ Punishment Continues, as Energy Giants Chase Phoney ‘Green’ Dollars
Green virtue signalling among Australia’s energy giants is now a ‘thing’. However, dig a little deeper and it’s clear that the thing is all about making money from a gullible proletariat, aided and abetted by a witless media. Fortunately, Terry McCrann isn't among them. BHP displays suicidal tendencies in support of green policies The … Continue reading Power Consumers’ Punishment Continues, as Energy Giants Chase Phoney ‘Green’ Dollars

Government Uses Fake Gas ‘Crisis’ to Force Suppliers to Guarantee Gas to Costly & Inefficient Peaking Power Generators
AGL shows why power generators shouldn’t be energy retailers The Australian Judith Sloan 26 September 2017 Former senior executives of AGL must surely be shaking their heads in dismay. As the oldest listed company in the country, AGL has a tradition of measured and conservative conduct, as would be expected of a utility in the … Continue reading Government Uses Fake Gas ‘Crisis’ to Force Suppliers to Guarantee Gas to Costly & Inefficient Peaking Power Generators
