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

Australia’s Runaway Power Prices Kill Renewables-Rent-Seekers’ Dreams
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.

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

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
