STT followers will well remember the efforts made by a band of Federal Senators to lift the lid on Australia’s wind industry.

As Germany’s Energiewende Implodes, China Plans to Export Affordable Power to Power-Starved Germans
Famously, in 1793 the Emperor Qianlong penned a letter for the benefit of the entourage led by English Ambassador, Lord George McCartney, informing him and his King, George III that “we possess all things.

PM Hopes to Salvage LRET & Wind Industry by Reviving Renewables Slush Fund
**** In Australia, the fact that the Large-Scale RET was slashed once (from a 41,000 GWh annual target to 33,000GWh) guarantees that no commercial retailer will enter a long-term Power Purchase Agreement with a wind power outfit; and, accordingly, that no commercial banker will lend money for any new wind farms (see our post here). … Continue reading PM Hopes to Salvage LRET & Wind Industry by Reviving Renewables Slush Fund
Australian Senators Demand Wind Farm Moratorium: NHMRC (finally) Decides to Conduct Actual Health Research

Institutional Malice: Wind Farm Victims’ Government Endorsed Suffering Continues With Greg Hunt’s Knowledge
**** The number of Liberal (Australia’s once small-government, conservative, business and family friendly) Party MPs that hold a bizarre affection for these things can be tallied up on one hand.

What Kills the Australian Wind Industry: A $45 Billion Federal Power Tax
**** The wind industry in Australia is doomed. Australia’s commercial lending institutions know it (calling in their loans and refusing to lend for any new wind farms).

Bjørn Lomborg Counts the ‘Enormous’ Cost of the Wind Power ‘Mirage’

Britain’s Economic Nightmare Unfolds: Wind Power Costs Killing Thousands of REAL Jobs
**** A few posts back we focused on the naked malice of Labor's Bill Shorten - as he derided Joanne Kermond on national television.
