If Australia wants ANY industry – the RET must go

Australians have a choice - maintain the Renewable Energy Target (RET) or kiss goodbye to what’s left of our manufacturing industry and say bon voyage to our minerals processing sector.

Wang Wang and Funi to the rescue

South Australians have - since 1 July this year - been paying the highest power prices in the world.

Angus “The Enforcer” Taylor – collars another pro-wind-power-punk

The adage that you can’t keep a good man down applies in spades to Angus “The Enforcer” Taylor. The wind weasels have been running a campaign to undermine Angus - including laughable claims made in the Fin Review last week that he'd been privately "slapped down" by energy policy lightweights, Greg Hunt and Ian "Enron" … Continue reading Angus “The Enforcer” Taylor – collars another pro-wind-power-punk

Don’t Panic, Don’t Panic!!

They’re panicking. The greentard bloggers are in a solid state of denial at the minute. One of them - The Climate Speculator is exhorting its stricken band of followers: “don’t panic, don’t panic”.

The Gorillas start beating up the Monkeys

A little while back we posted a video where Origin Energy’s Chief, Grant King laid out the demise of the RET.  Well – King-Kong-King is back beating his chest and letting the whole energy jungle know who’s boss.  This time – though – he’s brought a few other heavies with him. **** And these mountain … Continue reading The Gorillas start beating up the Monkeys

Origin Chief gives the RET a mighty serve

Grant King is the CEO of a REAL energy company - not one drawn up from the bones of a corporate wreck like Babcock and Brown, say, or one that was put together to flog its own turbines like Suzlon RePower - the outfit behind the ridiculous Ceres project. **** Origin is the 300lb Gorilla … Continue reading Origin Chief gives the RET a mighty serve

Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up

"Smokin'" Joe Hockey, odds on to be our next Treasurer, appeared on Alan Jones' show last week, being quizzed hard about the great Australian wind power fraud. Listen here.
