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

Australia’s Renewables Debacle Killing Business, Jobs & Whole Energy Hungry Industries
Australia’s suicidal renewable energy policies have driven power prices through the roof and are driving energy hungry businesses and whole industries to the wall. Those with their hands on the tiller, keep telling us that this is all part of an ‘inevitable transition’ to a world that runs entirely on nature’s wonder fuels: the sun … Continue reading Australia’s Renewables Debacle Killing Business, Jobs & Whole Energy Hungry Industries
Australia’s Power Crisis Generated by a Conspiracy of Incompetents
To destroy the cheapest and most reliable power supplies in the world in less than 20 years takes effort, but it can be done. Take South Australia, Australia’s so-called wind power capital as the prime example. Despite its Premier’s recent (nonsensical) claims about SA power prices plummeting, they are still the highest retail power prices … Continue reading Australia’s Power Crisis Generated by a Conspiracy of Incompetents
Guilty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Drive Australia’s Rocketing Retail Power Prices
Among the dwindling band of deluded wind and sun worshippers, no two words are more prone to send them into apoplexy than ‘South Australia’. Held up as the example of how to run an economy on sunshine and breezes (sprinkled with a liberal dose of pixie dust and batteries that cost $150 million to power … Continue reading Guilty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Drive Australia’s Rocketing Retail Power Prices
Turnbull’s Trilemma: PM’s Power to Rise (or Fall) with National Energy Guarantee
The reason that Australian governments give for policies set to squander $60 billion in subsidies on wind and solar power is a three-way mission to deliver (1) reliable, (2) affordable and (3) low-CO2-emissions electricity. After the debacle that’s played out in Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia, the odds of that trifecta ever becoming a … Continue reading Turnbull’s Trilemma: PM’s Power to Rise (or Fall) with National Energy Guarantee
National Energy Guarantee Spells Doom for Wind Power: Mere Threat of NEG Smashes Wind Power Outfits’ Share Prices
The wind industry in Australia is doomed, and it knows it. Power consumers who have received power bills since retail rates increased fully 20% in July, are furious; tens of thousands simply can’t pay them and have been put on ‘payment plans’, while thousands more have simply been disconnected from the grid, unable to pay … Continue reading National Energy Guarantee Spells Doom for Wind Power: Mere Threat of NEG Smashes Wind Power Outfits’ Share Prices
Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Renewables rent-seekers are nothing if not sore losers. A heartbeat ago it seemed as if the subsidies for renewables would last until kingdom come, and wind and solar power outfits could get away with the completely unpredictable and haphazardly occasional ‘delivery’ of power at ridiculous prices. Now, PM, Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee has turned … Continue reading Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
As that great frog-philosopher, Kermit reckoned, it isn't easy being 'green'. It is even harder when the cost of attempting to do so is, quite literally, crippling. Back in July, a family-owned specialist plastics recycling company in South Australia was forced to close its doors for good, with the loss of 35 jobs, after … Continue reading Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Australia’s diabolically destructive renewable energy policies have led to rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. Australian power consumers currently connected to the Eastern Grid (that connects Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania) have no idea just how close they are to watching their first total ‘system … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Fear & Loathing Downunder: Australian PM’s Reliable Power Play Kills Dozens of Wind Power Projects Stone Dead
Gradually, painfully, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers are coming to the realisation that Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee means the end of the greatest subsidy-soaked rort of all time. Among renewables rent-seekers, a few deluded souls are still kidding themselves that it will all blow over (so to speak), while, at the other … Continue reading Fear & Loathing Downunder: Australian PM’s Reliable Power Play Kills Dozens of Wind Power Projects Stone Dead
