Having gouged $billions from power consumers and taxpayers to subsidise hopelessly unreliable wind and solar, the Federal government wants us to pay $millions more to undo the damage done to our once reliable power supply by its Renewable Energy Target. The point and purpose of subsidies and mandated targets favouring wind and solar was … Continue reading Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online

How to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Just Add Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australians once enjoyed the cheapest and most reliable power in the world; now they suffer the world’s highest prices and they’re lucky to get power, at all. Throwing billions at weather-dependent wind and sunshine dependent solar has had the inevitable consequence of destroying both the reliability and affordability electricity, in a country blessed with vast … Continue reading How to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Just Add Subsidised Wind & Solar
D-Day For Australia’s Energy Debacle: End of Bipartisan Support Means End for Wind & Solar
As desperate as they are silly, Australia’s renewable energy rent-seekers and the zealots that do their bidding have called in an airstrike on their own position. Making nonsensical claims that adding even more heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will lead to substantial reductions in retail power prices, has exposed these people for … Continue reading D-Day For Australia’s Energy Debacle: End of Bipartisan Support Means End for Wind & Solar
Politics of Power: Spiralling Power Prices Signal End for Wind & Solar Subsidies
In Australia, nothing stops a barbecue like the topic of ever spiralling power prices.

More … Continue reading Politics of Power: Spiralling Power Prices Signal End for Wind & Solar Subsidies
Giant Renewable Energy Debacle Demands Even Bigger Lies: Boffins Claim More Wind & Solar Guaranteed to Cut Power Prices
Efforts by RE zealots to maintain control of Australia’s energy policy have turned to high farce. Working on the adage that the bigger the lie, the more often that it’s told, the more people are likely to believe it, the AEMO’s Audrey Zibelman and the Energy Security Board’s Kerry Schott have decided to take reality, … Continue reading Giant Renewable Energy Debacle Demands Even Bigger Lies: Boffins Claim More Wind & Solar Guaranteed to Cut Power Prices
Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
Business operators have just worked out that Australia’s renewable energy policies are deliberately designed to destroy them. Concepts such as ‘demand management’ (state-ordered deliberate blackouts) are the natural result of seeking to run an entire economy on sunshine and breezes. This country wouldn’t be debating Josh Frydenberg’s National Energy Guarantee, the Australian Competition & Consumer … Continue reading Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
Businesses & Families Despair Over Rocketing Power Prices: Energy Minister in Fantasy-land
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity was caused by lunatics obsessed with wind and solar power: trouble is, they’re still in charge. The Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg demonstrates an astonishing lack of insight into the obvious cause and consequences of the debacle (further examples of which appear in the Alan Jones interview, laid out below). … Continue reading Businesses & Families Despair Over Rocketing Power Prices: Energy Minister in Fantasy-land
Coal-Fired Future: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Puts Fossil Fuels Front & Centre
South Australia’s embattled power consumers determined to ditch Jay Weatherill’s Labor government and its maniacal 75% RET. While what follows is a whole lot less certain than outright immediate economic self-annihilation, South Australians aren’t out of the woods, just yet. Indeed, nothing much has really changed, at all. The weather is still the key determinant … Continue reading Coal-Fired Future: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Puts Fossil Fuels Front & Centre
Renewables Debacle Rolls On: Power Politics Always & Everywhere About Power Prices
That a government decides to entertain a moment of self-congratulation - simply because the lights might stay on - would be understandable, if the Country in question was North Korea or Cuba. However, the primary purpose of Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee is just that: allowing the Federal government to claim ‘mission accomplished’, if Australia … Continue reading Renewables Debacle Rolls On: Power Politics Always & Everywhere About Power Prices
Renewables Debacle Double-Up: National Energy Guarantee Renders RET Redundant
Sometimes there is only room enough in town for a single gunslinger. As Gary Cooper demonstrated, more than once, when it comes to a showdown, one or more of them has to go. Because Malcolm Turnbull’s proposal for a National Energy Guarantee is a policy directed at undoing the obvious and inevitable harm that the … Continue reading Renewables Debacle Double-Up: National Energy Guarantee Renders RET Redundant
