It was only a matter of time before Australia’s ruinous renewable energy policies imploded and implode they just did. Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity is the inevitable consequence of the so-called ‘transition’ to nature’s wonder fuels. And yet the wind and sun cult and renewable energy rent seekers continue to behave as if the … Continue reading Competition Watchdog Slams Subsidised Wind & Solar: Demands Government Investment in Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power

Outing Nature’s ‘Outages’: Chaotic Wind Power Output Drives Rocketing Australian Power Prices
Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg has just bagged the Pinocchio Award for his continued line about falling power prices. Instead of retail relief, power consumers have been whacked by jumps of between 20 and 28% this year, on top of 20% increases, last year. The reason for rocketing power prices is the ‘behaviour’ of generators, … Continue reading Outing Nature’s ‘Outages’: Chaotic Wind Power Output Drives Rocketing Australian Power Prices
Mission Possible: Runaway Renewable Energy Policy = Australia’s Economic Suicide Pact
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
War For Australian Business & Families Begins: Government Splits Over Renewable Energy Disaster
Subsidised wind and solar sent Australian power prices through the roof punishing households, threatening businesses and whole industries, without respite. The battle of Australia is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of civilisation as we’ve known it.

No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
What passes for political leadership in this country is engaged in a wind and solar-fuelled economic suicide mission. Subsidies to grid wrecking wind and solar (when soft loans, green schemes and taxpayer handouts are added) are pushing $5 billion a year, punishing households and businesses alike. As wind and solar power capacity increases, power prices … Continue reading No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Dictating when and if power consumers get electricity was once the preserve of communist dictatorships (think the USSR, North Korea and Cuba). Thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Australia now sits comfortably in the same dismal ranks. No longer can industrial users expect to have power according to their business plans … Continue reading Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid
Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Out-of-Control Power Prices: Business Hit With 24% Hike
Australia’s energy policy has been hijacked by lunatics, whose persistent ignorance has left it with out-of-control power prices and a grid all set to collapse. Pinning your energy needs to the weather was never going to pan out all that well. Of the Australian states, South Australia set the benchmark for virtue signalling stupidity; establishing … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Out-of-Control Power Prices: Business Hit With 24% Hike
Renewables Disaster Killing Australian Industry: Big Users Forced to Shut Down In Calm & Cloudy Weather
Australia’s enviable prosperity isn’t due to sunshine and breezes, it’s down to iron ore, coal and a bevy of other minerals including copper and uranium. Australia also has an abundance of bauxite which, when a reliable and affordable power sources is added, turns ‘NT road-gravel’ into aluminium - a high-value metal used in all … Continue reading Renewables Disaster Killing Australian Industry: Big Users Forced to Shut Down In Calm & Cloudy Weather
Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious
Intermittent wind and solar are a natural guarantee of grid chaos and rocketing power prices. The debacle that started in the renewable energy ‘superpower’, also known as South Australia has broken the border and is spreading fast. New South Wales is now being treated to a lesson on how increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ inevitably … Continue reading Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious
RE Reality Check: PM’s $10bn Pumped Hydro Plan to Save Wind Industry Doesn’t Hold Water
Wind and large-scale solar are doomed, but the saviour is said to be pumped hydro; paid for, of course, with other people’s money. Touted by Turnbull and his hapless sidekick, Josh Frydenberg as the Nation’s mega-battery, the heavily-hyped Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme (shelved in the 1970s because it was uneconomic then) has been … Continue reading RE Reality Check: PM’s $10bn Pumped Hydro Plan to Save Wind Industry Doesn’t Hold Water
