The Australian businesses under threat from insane renewable energy policies and rocketing power prices, have been finished off by government enforced lockdowns. With the Federal government outlining a plan to, ever so gradually, lift its COVID-19 restrictions on business, life and liberty, talk has inevitably turned to resuscitating an economy on life support. Earlier during … Continue reading Start Me Up: Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Path to Economic Recovery

Australia’s Energy Crisis: High Time For Government to Grow Up and Back Nuclear Powered Future
You’ve probably reached peak stupid when a troubled teenage girl gets to berate adults about global economic and energy policy, and a purportedly educated class sit awestruck, applauding in earnest. Greta the Fretter was front and centre in the (predictable) climate cult hysteria about the bushfires that have swept Australia this summer. Amongst renewable … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: High Time For Government to Grow Up and Back Nuclear Powered Future
Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy
The industrial revolution was all about harnessing cheap and reliable energy. Australia’s de-industrialisation has reversed that process. An obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has sent Australian power prices through the roof. Energy hungry businesses such as mining, mineral processing and manufacturing are watching their profit margins evaporate. Pretty soon those … Continue reading Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy
Forgotten People: New Wind & Solar Slush Fund Shows PM’s Contempt for Quiet Australians
The great unwashed in Australia’s suburbs and regions worked out long ago that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar represent a problem, rather than a solution. Watching their power prices go through the roof, with much worse to come, the ambitious working classes were clearly none too keen on suffering more of … Continue reading Forgotten People: New Wind & Solar Slush Fund Shows PM’s Contempt for Quiet Australians
Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Subsidised into existence, intermittent wind and solar now pose existential threats to Australia’s once reliable power supply, this summer and beyond. No industrialised country has ever run itself on sunshine and breezes; no country serious about maintaining first world living standards, ever will. So just how Australia’s energy boffins still cling to the notion … Continue reading Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Building Baseload: Keeping Australia’s Lights On Means More Coal-Fired Power – Now!
Preventing power price hikes and keeping the lights on by adding more intermittent wind and solar is like putting out fire with gasoline. These days, only the most delusional RE zealot still claims that spiralling power prices aren’t caused by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar. The mantra has shifted to one which … Continue reading Building Baseload: Keeping Australia’s Lights On Means More Coal-Fired Power – Now!
Time For Nuclear Option: Australian Election Blows the Lid Off the Nuclear Power Debate
Nuclear power isn’t an option in Australia, but it damn well ought to be. Banned by Luddites in 1998, Australia has never had a nuclear power generation system, despite being the world’s third largest uranium exporter, with more than a third of the world's proven reserves. STT is devoted to pushing the case for nuclear … Continue reading Time For Nuclear Option: Australian Election Blows the Lid Off the Nuclear Power Debate
Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory
The ‘shock’ Federal election result has left RE energy rent seekers reeling. What was meant to be a Green/Labor landslide - with the promise that subsidies to wind and solar would double and be extended until kingdom come - returned not only the Liberal/National Coalition to power, but left the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory
Blown Away: Australians Reject Labor’s 50% RET & Plans for Giant Wind & Solar Roll-out
Bill Shorten’ 45% CO2 emissions reduction target and his 50% Renewable Energy Target was meant to deliver a Labor landslide. It didn’t. Bill Shorten and his acolytes believed that Australian voters would flock to his grand - ‘save the planet’ - plans for sunshine and breezes. Their propaganda wing, GetUp! made it seem like … Continue reading Blown Away: Australians Reject Labor’s 50% RET & Plans for Giant Wind & Solar Roll-out
Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco
If the objective of Australia’s energy policy is destroying its economy, we’re well on the way. With more than $70,000,000,000 squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, both large-scale and domestic, power prices rocketing out of control, routine, mass power cuts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, and the destruction of … Continue reading Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco
