Idiocracy Rules: Brainwashed Brats Ditch School to Bleat For All Wind & Sun Powered Future

Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle: Government Mandates Economic Suicide
Australia’s energy policy reads more like a Greek tragedy. An obsession with wind and solar has left Australians with rocketing power prices and an unstable grid.

It’s no news to sailors, that the wind is never there when you need it and often there when you don’t. Coal-fired steamships took the guesswork out of Maritime navigation, ensuring passengers and cargo arrived safely, promptly and on schedule.
