Renewables rent-seekers are nothing if not sore losers. A heartbeat ago it seemed as if the subsidies for renewables would last until kingdom come, and wind and solar power outfits could get away with the completely unpredictable and haphazardly occasional ‘delivery’ of power at ridiculous prices. Now, PM, Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee has turned … Continue reading Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry

Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor
Those smug know-it-alls that champion wind and solar power persistently claim the high moral ground, but religiously ignore the inevitable victims of their faux eco-zealotry: the poorest and most vulnerable in society, for whom paying for power has become an existential battle.

Counting the Cost of Subsidised Wind Power: Some Basic Facts
The generation that have come to worship wind and solar power operate in a fact and consequence free zone, where logic and reason were bound and gagged from the beginning.

Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
As that great frog-philosopher, Kermit reckoned, it isn't easy being 'green'. It is even harder when the cost of attempting to do so is, quite literally, crippling. Back in July, a family-owned specialist plastics recycling company in South Australia was forced to close its doors for good, with the loss of 35 jobs, after … Continue reading Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
Renewable Chaos Shock Treatment: Australia’s Politicians Panic at Threat of Looming Blackouts
Australia’s self-inflicted energy ‘crisis’ is the consequence of considered and deliberate action that promoted weather dependent wind power and time-dependent solar power at the expense of the secure, reliable and affordable stuff. As the political panic spreads, it’s quite apparent, that those who created the disaster have almost no idea how resolve it.

Malice as a ‘Virtue’: Cost of Subsidised Renewables Power Means the Poorest Go Hungry
Worshipping windmills and posing prostrate before panels is a fast track towards being regarded by one’s peers as the King or Queen of the Virtue Signallers. Moral posturing begins with an appropriately preened identity, which can be paraded in front of all, provided that it’s PC perfect. Hence, the use of a motley bearded, hipster … Continue reading Malice as a ‘Virtue’: Cost of Subsidised Renewables Power Means the Poorest Go Hungry
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
Wind Industry Lies About Falling Costs Backfire: MPs Demand End to Subsidies for Wind Power
The moral of the story of ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ isn’t don’t lie, it’s don’t tell the same lie twice. Renewables rent-seekers continue to stick with the same grab bag of lies, myths and furphies, despite mountains of evidence revealing their marketing pitch is just so much polished propaganda.

All at Sea – Forget Wind Industry Spin: Offshore Wind Costs are Not Falling, They’re Staggering
Over the last year or so, the Australian wind industry, its parasites and spruikers have pointed to a number of proposals to spear mega-windmills offshore and out in the briny blue, including one monstrous boondoggle pitched for the waters off of the Victorian coast. These pie-in-the-sky plans are accompanied with the usual guff about wind power being … Continue reading All at Sea – Forget Wind Industry Spin: Offshore Wind Costs are Not Falling, They’re Staggering
Time to Tear Up Australia’s Economic Suicide Note: Renewable Energy Target Must Go Now
Malcolm Turnbull should come clean and explain to his party and the public that his son, Alex is heavily invested in wind power outfit, Infigen and did so at a time when it was on the brink of bankruptcy.
