Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg has just bagged the Pinocchio Award for his continued line about falling power prices. Instead of retail relief, power consumers have been whacked by jumps of between 20 and 28% this year, on top of 20% increases, last year. The reason for rocketing power prices is the ‘behaviour’ of generators, … Continue reading Outing Nature’s ‘Outages’: Chaotic Wind Power Output Drives Rocketing Australian Power Prices

Renewables Rewind: Energy Crisis Causes Outbreak of Sanity With Push for Coal-Fired Power
With rocketing power prices and much worse to come, Australia’s renewable energy debacle has finally started to sharpen political thinking.

Renewable Energy Wars: MP’s Push For Reliable Coal-Fired Power Means D-Day for Wind & Solar

South Australia set the benchmark: with a grid on the brink of collapse and the world’s highest power prices, … Continue reading Renewable Energy Wars: MP’s Push For Reliable Coal-Fired Power Means D-Day for Wind & Solar
RE Madness Must End Now: Tony Abbott Calls Time-Out on Economy-Wrecking Paris Climate ‘Deal’
There are good deals, there are bad deals and there are disastrous deals. For Australia the Paris Climate ‘deal’ is a monstrous disaster.

If Australians Want Reliable & Affordable Electricity: It’s Coal-Fired Power or Nothing
The debate surrounding Australia’s energy crisis is occupied by two camps: deluded zealots and pragmatic realists. STT sits with the latter: we couldn’t care less whether electricity was generated using doggie doo, provided it’s available and affordable, to all-comers. Australia, as the world’s third largest exporter of uranium, ought to be throwing its money and … Continue reading If Australians Want Reliable & Affordable Electricity: It’s Coal-Fired Power or Nothing

Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Down to Wind & Solar Obsession
At the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity is an obsession with intermittent and unreliable wind and solar. Mandated and massive subsidies - that those attempting to deliver electricity using nature’s wonder fuels have been wallowing in since the Australian Labor Party seriously upped the RE ante in 2010 - resulted in a … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Down to Wind & Solar Obsession
Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Dictating when and if power consumers get electricity was once the preserve of communist dictatorships (think the USSR, North Korea and Cuba). Thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Australia now sits comfortably in the same dismal ranks. No longer can industrial users expect to have power according to their business plans … Continue reading Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
