The truth about the great wind power fraud
Depriving ordinary people of something long considered a basic necessity of life, is one sure fire way to get their backs up. When that ‘necessity’ is something that people have rightly come to assume will always be available to them, at an affordable price, and the price suddenly escalates without reasonable explanation, confusion tends […]
The central, endlessly repeated lie (upon which the great wind power fraud rests) is that increasing wind power generation results in decreases in CO2 emissions. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for “renewable” energy to “reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector” (see s3). But, somewhere […]
Australia shoots down climate lobby’s scare mongering Marita Noon cfact.org 21 July 2014 Thursday, July 17 was a big news day. The world was shocked to learn that a Russian-made missile shot down a Malaysian Airlines jet with 298 on board as it flew over Ukraine en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam. Though flight […]
In recent weeks the greentard blogs have been overcome with grief as they moan about the almost inevitable consequences of the Coalition’s RET review, the future of the CEFC and now the ARENA fund – yet another taxpayer backed renewable slush fund that faces the chop. Their wailing and gnashing of teeth undermines their specious […]
Labor’s Martin Ferguson bowed out of Parliament (gracefully) last year amid the brawl over the leadership between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd. His departure was lamented on both sides of the House as Canberra lost a seasoned policy advocate for mining, industry and enterprise. Martin has just come out swinging about the scale and market […]

**** SA’s favourite Greek, Senator Nick Xenophon has teamed up with Frontier Economics’ Danny Price to absolutely hammer the ludicrous plan to spear 197 giant fans into SA’s agricultural Heartland on Yorke Peninsula. While we noted yesterday that the chances that the Ceres project will ever be built are slimmer than a German supermodel – […]
**** With the Head Boy, Tony Abbott recently signalling the demise of the RET (see our post here) Labor apparatchiks have gone into a flat panic. Labor is a party that’s controlled by Australia’s Unions – and fed and fattened on a steady diet of the money controlled by Union backed Superannuation funds. Over the […]
Last Wednesday, Action Man Abbott fronted the Canberra press gallery and delivered a speech that signals the end of Australia’s insanely expensive (and completely pointless) Renewable Energy Target (RET). Tony outlined the Coalition’s vision for restoring Australia’s beleaguered manufacturing sector, no doubt, in response to General Motor’s recent announcement that it will pull the […]
Open Letter to Prime Minister Abbott Dr Colleen Watts OAM 17 November 2013 Dear Mr. Abbott, I write concerning the Renewable Energy Target (RET) and its concomitant lovechild, the Renewable Energy Certificate. The argument for the existence, let alone the promotion, of industrial wind turbines as the panacea for “clean and green” energy production is […]
