China, India and Indonesia are building hundreds of coal-fired power plants because they deliver electricity all day, every day at prices that everyone can afford. The reason for backing coal-fired power is that simple. And yet thanks to a mixture of mercenary self-interest on the part of renewable energy rent seekers and the wilful ignorance … Continue reading No Contest: Coal-Fired Power Outright Winner In Reliable & Affordable Energy Wars

Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Wind and solar don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they’re powered by massive and endless subsidies. Remove the subsidies and both so-called ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat. The perpetual claims about wind and solar competing with dispatchable generation sources, such as coal, gas and nuclear, ring hollow when talk turns to reducing the … Continue reading Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Quiet Achiever: While PM Keeps Talking About Gas, Coal Just Keeps On Powering Australia
The Federal Coalition’s ‘plan’ to power Australia with gas-fired power plants it has yet to build, with gas supplies it does not have sounds more like palliative care than a cure for its self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. Having wrecked our once reliable grid by subsidising chaotically intermittent wind and solar, it seems it’s … Continue reading Quiet Achiever: While PM Keeps Talking About Gas, Coal Just Keeps On Powering Australia

Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Power prices have rocketed and businesses and whole industries are under threat, thanks to a political obsession with intermittent wind and solar. And their unreliable and chaotic delivery also threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. If Australia was looking to de-industrialise, then squandering $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to wind and … Continue reading Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster: Self-Inflicted Power Crisis Goes from Bad to Execrable
As witless as they are gutless, the Federal Liberal/National Coalition government is tearing itself apart over energy. In particular, renewable energy; and the choice between the existing annual 33,000 GWh Large-Scale RET - roughly 26% of annual consumption, which is already destroying businesses and punishing households with 20% year-on-year price increases (even though the … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster: Self-Inflicted Power Crisis Goes from Bad to Execrable
Australia’s Power Policy FAIL: Runaway Renewable Energy Target Destroying Business, Industry & Jobs
*** In the, ‘it seemed like a good idea at the time’ category, Australia’s Renewable Energy Target has turned toxic. Costly and pointless at the same time, the massive subsidies directed to wind and solar power have not only destroyed once affordable and reliable power supplies, they are inevitably destroying not just otherwise viable businesses, … Continue reading Australia’s Power Policy FAIL: Runaway Renewable Energy Target Destroying Business, Industry & Jobs
