Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%

In another, ‘we told you so’ moment, retail power prices in Australia will jump by 20% to 30% in June, following annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power […]

No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises

Any increase in dependence on intermittent wind and solar guarantees ever-increasing power prices. In Australia, that trend was set in 2010, following a massive expansion in the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, brought in under then Labor PM, Kevin Rudd.

Woke Wonderland: Billionaires Determined to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies

Al Gore springs to mind when it comes to woke billionaires determined to wreck your living standards, while improving their very own.

Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines

Wind power will never truly compete with reliable generators, hence the endless subsidies. Now, the wind industry wants even more subsidies to pay for the transmission lines that would allow it to send its chaotic wares halfway across Australia. The claim is that another so-called ‘interconnector’ will help South Australian wind power outfits to deliver […]

Society Wreckers: Renewable Energy Cult Determined to Destroy Industry Wealth & Jobs

Crawling out of a post Covid economic wasteland, requires getting industry and business back on their feet, which in turn requires reliable and affordable electricity, delivered whatever the weather. But that approach would require tapping into our good friends, logic and reason. In the Australian state of New South Wales, logic was tortured to death […]

Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia

A maniacal reliance on chaotically intermittent wind and solar poses an existential threat to Australia’s power grid. And Australia’s power problems have absolutely nothing to do with the grid itself. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to the Eastern Grid during July. Spread from Far North […]

Suicidal Tendencies: Australia’s Energy Policy Designed to Destroy Industry, Business & Jobs

Australia’s Completely Nuts: World’s Third Biggest Uranium Exporter Maintains Ban On Nuclear Power Generation

Australians fed up with crushing power bills are talking about a nuclear powered future, like there’s no tomorrow. Having recognised that climate alarmists will never relent in their crusade against carbon dioxide gas – being a proxy for eradicating cheap, reliable and affordable coal-fired power – anyone interested in a future where hot showers and […]

Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory

  The ‘shock’ Federal election result has left RE energy rent seekers reeling. What was meant to be a Green/Labor landslide – with the promise that subsidies to wind and solar would double and be extended until kingdom come – returned not only the Liberal/National Coalition to power, but left the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor […]

100% Lunacy: Australia’s Power Policy Becomes Playground for Deranged Virtue Signallers

  Australia’s energy policy crisis is like Game of Thrones starring complete idiots – every crazy plot twist is matched by something crazier still. The latest comes from New South Wales. NSW Labor opposition leader, Michael Daley isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last, maniac to suggest the world can be powered entirely […]
