Victoria’s unhinged Premier and deluded Energy Minister are hell-bent on replicating South Australia’s wind and solar debacle and bringing it home. By definition, ‘insanity’ is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. On that score, Daniel Andrews and Lily D’Ambrosio are in a league of their own. It’s not … Continue reading Victoria’s Wind & Solar Vortex: Labor Determined to Repeat South Australian Debacle with Ludicrous 50% RET

Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!
If you’re reading this post in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal-fired power. Don’t like it? Then get off the internet. And, while you’re at it, turn off your lights, your air-conditioner, let your smart phone run flat and, just for laughs, start tackling busy intersections without the benefit of traffic lights. Wind ‘powered’ … Continue reading Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!
Wind & Solar Rewind: Victorian Labor Promises to Repeat South Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Ignoring neighbouring South Australia’s wind & solar debacle, Victoria’s delusional Labor Premier Daniel Andrews is determined to repeat it. Despite some recent propaganda efforts suggesting that South Australians are currently enjoying 1970s power prices, Australia’s renewable energy capital still pays the world’s highest power prices – thanks to its ludicrous 50% Renewable Energy Target. SA’s 50% RET … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rewind: Victorian Labor Promises to Repeat South Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Blackout Nation: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Causing Blackouts & Wrecking Australia’s Power Grid
The chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left Australia’s Eastern Grid on the brink of collapse. The Eastern Grid connects Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Reliable coal-fired generators have been knocked out of the game, made uneconomic thanks to renewable energy policies that direct more than $3 billion a … Continue reading Blackout Nation: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Causing Blackouts & Wrecking Australia’s Power Grid
Renewable Energy’s Dirty Dozen: 12 Reasons Why Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Make No Sense
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that the world can run on sunshine and breezes. For wind and sun worshippers, disastrous examples like South Australia - where mass blackouts and load shedding have become the new normal - require not just practiced delusion but a form of self-flagellating stoicism, as well. Oh, … Continue reading Renewable Energy’s Dirty Dozen: 12 Reasons Why Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Make No Sense
RE Fails During Heatwave: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Sweltering in the Dark
Plug your energy needs into the sun and wind and expect plenty of disappointment, especially when it counts. Renewable energy zealots always talk a ‘big game’ - perpetually raving about how this wind farm or that sea of solar panels will ‘power’ hundreds of thousands of homes, for free, forever. Then the sun sets … Continue reading RE Fails During Heatwave: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Sweltering in the Dark
The Wind God’s New Clothes: Why Weather Dependent Power Generation Can Never Work
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8hKSry09F0 The wind’s fickleness is no mystery to kite flyers and sailors, yet wind power still gets pumped as if it’s cutting edge technology. Those few places attempting to run on nature’s wonder fuels have become economic debacles. One of those, RE ‘superpower’, South Australia has suffered routine load shedding for years, and rocketing … Continue reading The Wind God’s New Clothes: Why Weather Dependent Power Generation Can Never Work
Chaotic Wind & Solar Power: A Pair of Guaranteed Grid Wreckers
There’s no place on the planet where wind and solar power perform anything like the overblown rhetoric that surrounds them. [Note to Ed: has it got something to do with the weather and the Earth’s rotation?] As wind and solar power capacity increases it becomes harder for RE zealots to hide the cruel and unassailable … Continue reading Chaotic Wind & Solar Power: A Pair of Guaranteed Grid Wreckers
Frydenberg Foiled: Nationals Kill-Off Energy Minister’s National Energy Guarantee
Panic-stricken Liberal and National MPs have killed-off the proposed National Energy Guarantee at birth. Federal Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg presented a version of the NEG which simply expands the Federal government’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target and pushes its operation over the horizon. The model being touted was written by eco-zealots at the direction of … Continue reading Frydenberg Foiled: Nationals Kill-Off Energy Minister’s National Energy Guarantee
Big-Apple Blackouts Loom: Rush to Unreliable Renewables Threatens New York Power Grid
New Yorkers are about to reap what their wind and solar obsessed Governor, Andrew Cuomo has sown. As South Australians and Germans are acutely aware, adding utterly unreliable and inherently intermittent wind and solar to a power grid, designed entirely around dispatchable sources, leads to chaos. That wind and solar superpower, South Australia, has … Continue reading Big-Apple Blackouts Loom: Rush to Unreliable Renewables Threatens New York Power Grid
