*** In the 1940s, South Australian Legend, Tom Playford (Premier for 26 years from 1938 to 1965) took a natural gift, in the form of vast untapped reserves of brown coal located at Leigh Creek, directed it through power plants at Port Augusta and, with its cheap and reliable power supply, built a mining, manufacturing … Continue reading South Australians Turn Against Wind Power & Plump for an Atomic Future Instead

Ontario’s Eco-Fascists’ ‘Kill Coal’ Agenda Kills Ontario Instead: Now ‘Everything Costs More’

British Wind Industry’s Desperate Bid to Retain Subsidies Crushed by Court of Appeal
The greatest Ponzi scheme of all time is on the brink of collapse. In America, Trump’s 'deplorables' have crushed the wind industry’s hopes of carpeting the United States in millions of these things; shares in wind turbine makers, like Denmark’s Vestas have plummeted. In Australia, the wind industry is like a wandering zombie; quite apparently … Continue reading British Wind Industry’s Desperate Bid to Retain Subsidies Crushed by Court of Appeal

Trump’s ‘Basket of Deplorables’ Deliver Lesson on Energy Policy: Politicians Ignore Workers at their Political Peril
After America’s “basket of deplorables” banded together to send Donald Trump to the White House and Hillary Clinton to the Dog House, everything politicians and pundits thought they knew about politics is patently wrong. Ignoring the working class is one thing, but condescending, denigrating and ridiculing those who plump for people like Trump as ‘idiots’, … Continue reading Trump’s ‘Basket of Deplorables’ Deliver Lesson on Energy Policy: Politicians Ignore Workers at their Political Peril
Clinton ‘Trumped’: Vestas’ Shares in Freefall & Wind Industry in Full Scale Panic
The election of Donald Trump has caused conniption fits amongst the hard green-left in the United States and elsewhere. Pundits predicted, with supreme confidence, that Hillary Clinton would take the White House and that all would be well in the politically correct garden. However, America’s “basket of deplorables” had other ideas: a brash and vulgar … Continue reading Clinton ‘Trumped’: Vestas’ Shares in Freefall & Wind Industry in Full Scale Panic

South Australia Set for Higher Power Prices & More Blackouts Post Hazelwood Closure

Australia’s Renewable Target Kills 2,000 Victorian Jobs at Hazelwood & Portland
*** To call what Australian politicians refer to as energy “policy” is to flatter it as involving some kind of deliberate design. As things have panned out in South Australia, and are fast panning out in neighbouring Victoria, there is only one fair description: “total chaos”. South Australia lost 784MW of reliable, affordable base-load power … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Target Kills 2,000 Victorian Jobs at Hazelwood & Portland
REC Price Surge Signals Doom for Australia’s Renewable Target & its Wind Industry
