Wind Power Chaos: South Australia Bound to Suffer Summertime Blackouts & Victoria’s ALP Government Determined to Follow Suit

Queensland Labor Lunacy: Premier Vows to Follow South Australia Back to the Dark Ages

*** It was Albert Einstein that forecast the Australian approach to energy policy when he defined insanity as: “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Queensland’s capital, Brisbane is barely 1,600 km and 2 hours, 20 minutes flying time from Adelaide, but it appears that the news from South Australia … Continue reading Queensland Labor Lunacy: Premier Vows to Follow South Australia Back to the Dark Ages

Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Wrecking California’s Power Grid

These Off-The-Books Government Regs Are Propping Up Wind And Solar Daily Caller Andrew Follett Off-the-books government regulations heavily … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Wrecking California’s Power Grid

Pointless Wind Farm Carnage: British Study Confirms Wholesale Bat Slaughter

Needless Human Suffering the Price of Wind Industry Corruption

*** For far too many acoustic engineers ethics runs a poor second to pocketing fat piles of easy cash from the wind industry for knocking out noise reports that (always) show 'compliance' with the noise conditions of planning consents - even if that requires fabricating data - as occurred at the Waubra and Cape Bridgewater … Continue reading Needless Human Suffering the Price of Wind Industry Corruption
