*** In yesterday's post we described Alan Finkel's report on Australia's power market fiasco as a mixture of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ – residing in a place where the fundamentals of physics and economics, logic and reason are playfully and permanently suspended – and Goldilocks – the story about an infantile quest to make sure … Continue reading Finkel’s Fantasyland: Report to ‘Save’ Australia’s Power Grid From Renewables Chaos a Death Sentence for Business

Power Prices Rocket & Dunces Dither as Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens
Yesterday (Friday, 9 June), Alan Finkel released his long awaited report on Australia's calamitous renewable energy policies, to sighs of despair and disappointment amongst those who actually understand how Australia's electricity market works; or, rather, has been knowingly destroyed by massive subsidies to intermittent, unreliable, chaotic and expensive wind and solar power. Finkel's report - … Continue reading Power Prices Rocket & Dunces Dither as Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens
How ‘Green’ is Wind Power: Offshore Wind Farms Killing Whales
*** Energy generation systems of all descriptions take their toll, but only one of them claims moral superiority over all others. That increasingly tenuous claim rests on the 'we're saving the planet' mantra - chanted by the wind cult around the Globe. Not for the first time, and not for the last time, wind turbine noise … Continue reading How ‘Green’ is Wind Power: Offshore Wind Farms Killing Whales
Last Chance Hotel: Australia’s Energy Crisis at the Crossroads
*** Australia’s energy crisis is a self-inflicted calamity with no apparent end in sight. The PM, Malcolm Turnbull seems intent on protecting his son, Alex’s investment in Australia’s most notorious wind power outfit, Infigen (see our post here). While his gormless Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg behaves like a punch-drunk boxer, who cannot land a punch … Continue reading Last Chance Hotel: Australia’s Energy Crisis at the Crossroads
Renewables Rent-Seekers Reel as Trump Defies Climate-Cult & Delivers Fatal Blow to Paris Agreement
Donald Trump continues to infuriate the intelligentsia by delivering on the things he promised to deliver when he ran for President (how dare he!?!). They collectively dismissed him as a presidential hopeful and are still seething at the fact that they failed to predict his triumph; or, rather, to have guaranteed his defeat. Where the … Continue reading Renewables Rent-Seekers Reel as Trump Defies Climate-Cult & Delivers Fatal Blow to Paris Agreement
Wind Industry Thugs Sue for Subsidies: NextEra’s Reign of Legal Terror Escalates
Having lost the battle for hearts and minds, the wind industry is revealing its true character: a rabid wolf in sheep's clothing; or, perhaps, an axe-wielding psychopath masquerading as a smarmy second-hand car salesman? Now that communities are armed with the knowledge that wind power is the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, … Continue reading Wind Industry Thugs Sue for Subsidies: NextEra’s Reign of Legal Terror Escalates

Businesses Belted by Australia’s Renewable Energy Target: Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Australia’s Renewable Energy policy is an economic suicide pact, from which there is no escape. The result of that winning combination of greed, ignorance and downright stupidity, the Renewable Energy Target has destroyed businesses and is set to destroy whole industries. Manufacturers, miners and mineral processors are screaming blue murder as they watch once reliable … Continue reading Businesses Belted by Australia’s Renewable Energy Target: Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Germans in ‘Green’ Power Backlash: Burgeoning Free Democrats Run on Anti-Wind Platform
Germans are a relatively cool tempered bunch, keen for consensus and to avoid serious civil confrontation. Which goes some way to explain why Germany was overrun by these things; with thousands of them speared all across their farms and forests. However, Germans quite obviously have their limits of tolerance. During the winter just gone, with … Continue reading Germans in ‘Green’ Power Backlash: Burgeoning Free Democrats Run on Anti-Wind Platform
Wind Turbines Provide Zero% of Global Energy: Despite $Billions Squandered on Subsidies
*** Matt Ridley defines pragmatism and common sense. If - as the wind cult constantly exhorts us - generating power without generating CO2 emissions is the object, then wind power offers no solution. Matt correctly points out the path to CO2 reductions in the power sector involves gas, for now, and investing in an atomic … Continue reading Wind Turbines Provide Zero% of Global Energy: Despite $Billions Squandered on Subsidies
