Australia now faces a summer of widespread blackouts and … Continue reading Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears
Renewable Energy Zealots Surrender: Coal Will Continue to Power Australia for 20 More Years
Renewable energy zealots claim spiralling power prices and rolling blackouts are just ‘teething troubles’ as we ‘transition’ to our 100% all RE future. On their worldview, it’s a matter of when, not if, modern economies end up completely ditching ‘dirty’ coal-fired power plants, and otherwise wean themselves off fossil fuels, altogether. Trouble is, in places … Continue reading Renewable Energy Zealots Surrender: Coal Will Continue to Power Australia for 20 More Years
Lunatic’s Paradise: SA Voters’ Last Chance to Curb Renewable Energy Insanity
