If Australia’s energy policy debate was a theatre production, it would be labelled ‘high farce’. Throwing $60 billion to the sun and the wind, destroying a grid which was renowned for not only its expanse, but its reliability and sending power prices from the very bottom of the league table, all the way to … Continue reading Experts Hope Summer Blackouts Bring Sanity to Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle

Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless
Oh, the irony. In one breath we're told that the climate is changing so rapidly - although, these days, most climate alarmists don’t seem prepared to lay a bet on whether things are getting hotter or colder - that carpeting the world in wind turbines and solar panels - which cultists believe will solve the … Continue reading Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless
If CO2 Really is ‘Pollution’, There’s Only One Solution: Nuclear Power
In the climate alarmists’ worldwide crusade against carbon dioxide gas, only the most delusional still believe that wind and solar power add anything to their arsenal. One of America’s leading eco-warriors, Michael Shellenberger has turned on wind and solar with a passion, instead he’s now advocating for an all-atomic energy future, simply because the latter … Continue reading If CO2 Really is ‘Pollution’, There’s Only One Solution: Nuclear Power
Killing Australia’s Renewable Energy Target an Essential Economic Reboot
Combining climate with energy in a single policy setting is like combining a running child with super-sharp scissors: an unhealthy mix, prone to disaster. The concept of cutting CO2 emissions from a system which is built (and continues to rely) on coal-fired power generation, has the necessary and inevitable result of killing that system. Wind … Continue reading Killing Australia’s Renewable Energy Target an Essential Economic Reboot
The Nuclear Option: Atomic Solution to Australia’s Energy Crisis
In the blink of an eye, Australia’s media circus has finally woken up to the scale and scope of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. More ink has been spilt in the last few weeks on the subject than in the whole of the last decade. Wind power capital, South Australia’s blackouts and load … Continue reading The Nuclear Option: Atomic Solution to Australia’s Energy Crisis
Malcolm, Josh Grow Up, Kill the Renewable Energy Target & Go Nuclear
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. Australians are fast growing up to the fact that running a country on sunshine and breezes is so much childish nonsense. Like most childish … Continue reading Malcolm, Josh Grow Up, Kill the Renewable Energy Target & Go Nuclear
Last Man Standing: Nuclear Plants Power Texans During Deluge – Wind Turbines Automatically Shut Down During Hurricane Harvey
Texans have been in the news for all the wrong reasons, over the last week or so. Hurricane Harvey belted the Texan coast with 130 mph (209 kph) winds and delivered a deluge of biblical proportions. For some time now, Texas has been the pinup girl for American wind worshippers. With some 21,000 MW of … Continue reading Last Man Standing: Nuclear Plants Power Texans During Deluge – Wind Turbines Automatically Shut Down During Hurricane Harvey
Power Prices in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Double the Price of Power in Nuclear Powered France
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. The picture above speaks volumes about the real cost of wind and solar power to the people that really matter: power consumers. Before we unpack some of the gems glittering in the power price league table above, we’ll hand over to one of the few … Continue reading Power Prices in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Double the Price of Power in Nuclear Powered France
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
Nuclear Power: The Only CO2 Free Power Generation System Available
*** The most astonishing thing about Alan Finkel's report on Australia's electricity market calamity, is that the only stand-alone, CO2 emissions free generation source - nuclear power - barely rates a mention and gets dismissed as if it were some far fetched technology used by aliens. Finkel, a climate alarmist if ever there was one, … Continue reading Nuclear Power: The Only CO2 Free Power Generation System Available
