It’s possible to turn an energy superpower into an economic disaster: Australia did it in less than a decade. Its energy policy was hijacked by eco-zealots and handed to wind and solar rent-seekers, on a platter. A combination of witless and corrupt politicians meant that the mission was accomplished with the sort of split-second timing … Continue reading Mission Possible: Runaway Renewable Energy Policy = Australia’s Economic Suicide Pact

Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Down to Wind & Solar Obsession
At the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity is an obsession with intermittent and unreliable wind and solar.

Frydenberg Fiddles as Renewables Disaster Hits Businesses with 30% Annual Power Price Hike
Flummoxed renewable energy zealots can’t escape the obvious connection between heavily subsidised and utterly unreliable renewables and rocketing power prices.

Ticket to Oblivion: Australia’s $60bn Wind & Solar Subsidy Gravy Train Rolls Until 2031
A Country carpeted with wind turbines with its rooftops glistening with solar panels is the product of one thing: endless and massive subsidies.

One myth that pervades political discourse in this Country at the moment, is … Continue reading Ticket to Oblivion: Australia’s $60bn Wind & Solar Subsidy Gravy Train Rolls Until 2031
Sunset on Chaotic Renewables: Monash Forum Pushes Australia’s Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Future

Major retailers and generators are lining up to purchase coal-fired power plants, for that very reason.

Turnbull’s Energy Dilemma: Pro-Coal Monash Forum Threatens PM’s Tenuous Grip on Power
Politics is a cruel caper and, in Australia, the politics of power is merciless. Malcolm Turnbull has just lost 30 Newspolls in a row; the apparently fatal number that gave him licence to knife a sitting PM, Tony Abbott in September 2015. In an election fought on Labor’s ‘Carbon Tax’ (a monstrously expensive tax … Continue reading Turnbull’s Energy Dilemma: Pro-Coal Monash Forum Threatens PM’s Tenuous Grip on Power
Battlelines Drawn: Monash Forum Pushes for Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Future
A mere trickle of opposition to subsidised wind and solar power has just turned into a flood of biblical proportions. A group of National and Liberal MPs have declared war on renewable subsidies.

Slow Burn: Australia’s Renewable Energy Fiasco Causes Continued Economic Destruction – No End In Sight
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. 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.
