The only businesses which are bouncing along in South Australia are those selling portable diesel generators, candles and LED headlamps. The sort of staple items you might find on a Doomsday Prepper's list. However, in Australia's so-called wind power capital, BYO and DIY power and lighting are everyday essentials. SA's vapid Premier, Jay Weatherill pretends … Continue reading Wind Power Chaos Promises to Deliver Mass Summer Blackouts Across Australia

SA’s Wind Farms Guilty: 28 September ‘Black System’ Caused by Wind Power Output Collapse
*** Whichever way you slice it (and it's been cut from every possibly exculpatory angle), South Australia's infamous Statewide blackout on 28 September 2016 was due to the inability of its 18 wind farms to tough out a typically vigorous spring storm front. Where conventional generators have no difficulty chugging away in bad weather, 'systems' … Continue reading SA’s Wind Farms Guilty: 28 September ‘Black System’ Caused by Wind Power Output Collapse
Nuclear Power: the ‘Grown Ups’ Option for Australia’s Unfolding Power Crisis
maturity, noun: the quality of behaving mentally and emotionally like an adult; a very advanced or developed form or state.

Rocketing power prices, routine load shedding and mass blackouts are the inevitable results of South Australia's wind power experiment. Tom Quirk trained as a nuclear physicist at the University of Melbourne. He … Continue reading ‘System Black’: South Australia’s Wind Power Experiment a Costly, Abject Failure
Coal Power Prevents Thousands of Germans from Freezing as Wind & Solar Output Plummets
A couple of weeks back 90,000 South Australian families found themselves powerless and boiling in a heat wave when its 1,576 MW of wind power capacity started the day producing more than 1,000 MW, but which later collapsed suddenly to a trifling 70 MW, sending the grid into meltdown. Meanwhile in Germany, it was a … Continue reading Coal Power Prevents Thousands of Germans from Freezing as Wind & Solar Output Plummets
Chaotic Wind Power Shunned: Coalition to Use ‘Green’ Slush Fund to Build Coal-Fired Power Plants
*** The political climate surrounding energy policy in Australia is febrile. However, nervous and feverish excitement is hardly conducive to sensible solutions.

It's vapid Premier, Jay Weatherill must know that, as a wind … Continue reading Wind Power Disaster Means South Australian Labor Government ‘Gone with the Wind’
