One inevitable consequence of shackling your economy to intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar power is rocketing power prices. Another is routine load shedding (controlled blackouts) and statewide blackouts (when the grid manager completely loses control). All of those consequences are playing out in wind powered South Australia and its neighbouring state, Victoria. Both … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Power Prices Double in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia & Victoria, in Just 12 Months

Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
In their more deluded moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would shrivel up and die, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could easily provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come - and do so absolutely free. Meanwhile, back on Earth, even on their best days, the contribution … Continue reading Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark

Following the various angles pitched up by the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers is like playing chess with a madman: it’s exciting, but you have absolutely no idea what move he’ll come up with next. Notwithstanding that Australia’s renewable energy wonderland, South Australia continues to … Continue reading Slow Burn: Australia’s Renewable Energy Fiasco Causes Continued Economic Destruction – No End In Sight
South Australia’s All Renewables Push Renders Wind Power Capital International Laughing Stock
Thanks to its hapless Labor government’s obsession with sunbeams and breezes (and non-existent Liberal opposition - who continue to act like dazed members of the same cult) South Australians have grown accustomed to being the punchline in an ongoing international joke. Routine load shedding and statewide blackouts - notwithstanding the fact that they pay the … Continue reading South Australia’s All Renewables Push Renders Wind Power Capital International Laughing Stock
Frydenberg’s Renewable Energy Fantasyland: Australian Households & Businesses Despair as Energy Minister Remains Off with the Fairies
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster sometimes reads more like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – and on others like the work of a drug-addled Lewis Carrol, as he took us all down the rabbit hole with Alice & Co. Characters abound, bereft of worldy wit, prone to waffling nonsense and repeating the same hackneyed phrases (think … Continue reading Frydenberg’s Renewable Energy Fantasyland: Australian Households & Businesses Despair as Energy Minister Remains Off with the Fairies
Wind Turbine Noise Makes Life a Living Hell for Neighbours: Michigan Farmers Driven From Homes

No manner of cynical finessing can excuse what’s done by this subsidy-soaked so-called ‘industry’. Turning peaceful and idyllic rural communities into industrial wastelands sticks in the craw of even life’s most grizzled … Continue reading Wind Turbine Noise Makes Life a Living Hell for Neighbours: Michigan Farmers Driven From Homes
Melissa Ware – Wind Industry Victim on the Malice & Cruelty of Pacific Hydro & Others

In renewables obsessed Australia, 42,000 families now suffer from the modern phenomenon of ‘energy poverty’ (see our post … Continue reading Ontario’s Wind Power Obsession Punishing Thousands: 390,000 Families Struggling to Pay Power Bills & 58,000 Disconnected
True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power – Unplugged
The total cost of attempting to incorporate intermittent, unreliable and chaotic wind power into a grid designed around stable, controllable, dispatchable power generation is utterly staggering. In those places attempting to run on sunshine and breezes, grid managers are forced to regularly intervene, compelling the owners of conventional fossil-fuelled generation plant (coal and gas) to … Continue reading True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power – Unplugged
