Those who have spent the last decade or so milking wind and solar subsidies, probably thought the rort would last forever. When the Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target was upped to 41,000 GWh in 2010, renewables-rent-seekers thought that figure was set in stone. Until it wasn’t. Despite a hostile Senate and rats in his own ranks, … Continue reading Australia’s Runaway Power Prices Kill Renewables-Rent-Seekers’ Dreams

Heartless Hypocrites: Renewables Zealots Treat Jobless Thousands as ‘Collateral Damage’
In Australia’s rushed and ridiculous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, objectivity and compassion were early casualties. Boffins, journalists and pundits from the green-left end of the swamp worship wind and solar power as the beguiled from some mediaeval cult. What singles out these Pinot Gris sipping neo-Marxists is their malignancy towards Australia’s … Continue reading Heartless Hypocrites: Renewables Zealots Treat Jobless Thousands as ‘Collateral Damage’
Australia’s ‘Green’ Dream Turns Political Nightmare: Coalition Backbench in Revolt Against Renewables
If history offers any lessons to our political masters, it has to include those occasions when a fed up proletariat rose up and overthrew those in charge. Australia may not literally be on the brink of a civil revolt. However, there is most certainly a revolt underway in the Federal Liberal/National Coalition government. The Nationals … Continue reading Australia’s ‘Green’ Dream Turns Political Nightmare: Coalition Backbench in Revolt Against Renewables
If CO2 Really is ‘Pollution’, There’s Only One Solution: Nuclear Power
In the climate alarmists’ worldwide crusade against carbon dioxide gas, only the most delusional still believe that wind and solar power add anything to their arsenal. One of America’s leading eco-warriors, Michael Shellenberger has turned on wind and solar with a passion, instead he’s now advocating for an all-atomic energy future, simply because the latter … Continue reading If CO2 Really is ‘Pollution’, There’s Only One Solution: Nuclear Power
Mainstream Journalists Finally Wake-Up to the Greatest Fraud of All Time: Subsidised Wind Power
Back in June 2013, STT asked: Where are Australia’s Journos – asleep or on drugs? At that point, we wondered about what had happened to the investigative journos like Chris Masters or Paul Barry? And whether all of the Nation’s scribes were either asleep, on drugs, paid up members of the Greens, or patsies … Continue reading Mainstream Journalists Finally Wake-Up to the Greatest Fraud of All Time: Subsidised Wind Power
Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar – Destroyers of Worlds – Have Become Economic Death
Market fails to cope with the rise of the unreliables The Australian David Uren 14 September 2017 Creeping nationalisation to fix policy blunders would make Lenin smile In the former Soviet Union, electricity-generating plants were built with the architectural grandeur of cathedrals, some with stained glass windows.

Wind Industry Demands End to Subsidies: Wind Power Now Cheaper than Coal & Gas-Fired Power
Admit it, we had you there for a moment. No, our headline is definitely fake news. However, if the wind industry was taken at its word (unlikely) then the subsidies would have ended years ago. The likes of AGL, the Clean Energy Council and a whole band of wind worshipping lunatics have been telling us … Continue reading Wind Industry Demands End to Subsidies: Wind Power Now Cheaper than Coal & Gas-Fired Power
Government Brawl with AGL Signals End of Renewable Subsidies
All of a sudden, everybody is interested in electricity. As a result, Australia’s patrician and aloof PM, Malcolm Turnbull has been gifted with any number of self-appointed energy market advisors. The quality of the advice tends to vary, and the solutions proffered generally have something to do with whether the protagonist is invested in the … Continue reading Government Brawl with AGL Signals End of Renewable Subsidies
Killing Australia’s Renewable Energy Target an Essential Economic Reboot
Combining climate with energy in a single policy setting is like combining a running child with super-sharp scissors: an unhealthy mix, prone to disaster. The concept of cutting CO2 emissions from a system which is built (and continues to rely) on coal-fired power generation, has the necessary and inevitable result of killing that system. Wind … Continue reading Killing Australia’s Renewable Energy Target an Essential Economic Reboot
Australia’s Monumental Wind Power Fail: Rocketing Prices & Mass Blackouts Here to Stay
As an entry-level primer on the causes and consequences of Australia’s self-inflicted energy calamity, this article by The Australian’s Graham Lloyd is a pretty fair effort. However, as usual, Graham allows his instinct for journalistic ‘balance’ to take the edge off his own analysis. Wind fail: blow me down The Australian Graham Lloyd 8 September … Continue reading Australia’s Monumental Wind Power Fail: Rocketing Prices & Mass Blackouts Here to Stay
