With the debacle playing out in Europe and the UK, it takes a special brand of delusion the claim that increasing reliance on wind and solar will inevitably result in falling power prices. And delusion, in that respect, is very much the order of the day amongst Australia’s Green/Labor Alliance. When it comes to anything … Continue reading No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse

Destination Destruction: Deluded Virtue Signallers Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Every country chasing the wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering from a mix of power rationing and rocketing prices. There is no exception. Which brings us to our sunny land, Australia. Blessed with abundant reserves of coal, gas and uranium, it ought to enjoy the world’s cheapest power prices (20 years ago, it did). Now, … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Deluded Virtue Signallers Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Beautiful One Day, Powerless The Next: QLD Premier Plugs Unhinged Wind & Solar Rollout
Thanks to suicidal renewable energy policies, Australian power prices are amongst the highest in the world. The mandated targets and massive subsidies for intermittent wind and solar, central to those policies, are wrecking the ability of coal-fired generators to remain profitable, which was precisely what they were designed to do. The imminent closure of more … Continue reading Beautiful One Day, Powerless The Next: QLD Premier Plugs Unhinged Wind & Solar Rollout
Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Rocketing power prices is one inevitable consequence of the so-called ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. Germans know it, so do Californians, South Australians and Danes.

Francis Menton wades through their dross to reveal what Europe’s … Continue reading Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Unreliable Wind & Solar Leave Power-Starved Europeans Vulnerable During Big Freeze
The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters – getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter.

Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push
No country that ‘invested’ in wind and solar has ever seen their retail power prices fall. In Europe, wind and solar ‘powered’ Germans and Danes are punished by Europe's highest power prices - around double that paid by the nuclear-powered French. Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia set the benchmark down under for crippling power … Continue reading Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push
Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power
Claims that wind and solar are cheap, simply don’t add up. Glaring examples such as Germany, Denmark and South Australia tell the tale. Like night follows day, add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid, and power prices are bound to spiral out of control. California led America in the race … Continue reading Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power
