There’s something uncanny about the relationship between rocketing power prices and renewable energy: ask a German, Dane or South Australian. 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. The subsidies … Continue reading Want Rocketing Power Prices? Just Add Intermittent Wind & Solar – South Australia Did

Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
The world was overrun by insanely costly and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, thanks to an endless stream of other people’s money. Preaching the gospel about nature’s wonder fuels, isn’t simply about moral posturing and virtue signalling. It’s also about separating taxpayers and power consumers from their hard-earned: over the life of the Federal … Continue reading Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
The wind and solar industries are built on lies and fuelled by subsidies. Angus Taylor is alive to the former and focused on ending the latter. Barely a month into the job, for some reason, the very mention of Angus Taylor sends renewable energy rent seekers into a state of apoplexy. One reason could … Continue reading Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Newsflash: Power Costs More With Intermittent Wind & Solar – A Whole Lot More
Australia’s renewable energy policy is doomed: and it was rocketing power prices that killed it. No State went harder or faster than South Australia, when it came to the rollout of solar panels and giant windmills. Notorious for mass load shedding events and a statewide blackout, that left parts of the economic backwater without power … Continue reading Newsflash: Power Costs More With Intermittent Wind & Solar – A Whole Lot More
Wind Power Collapses Send Power Prices Into Orbit in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
Wind power outfits often claim that their particular operation ‘powers’ 30,000 homes; RE zealots even claim that South Australians get 50% of their power from the sun and wind. Whacked with the obvious retort of ‘when?’, the wind cultist changes tack and starts mumbling about mega-batteries (non-existent and insanely costly), pumped hydro (non-existent and costly) … Continue reading Wind Power Collapses Send Power Prices Into Orbit in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
Reaping the Whirlwind: Insane Cost of Renewables Destroying Jobs & Australia’s Economic Prosperity
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity has a single, proximate cause: massively subsidised, intermittent, unreliable wind and solar power. The relationship is obvious to all but the deliberately obtuse and the rent-seekers that profit from it. Another obvious relationship is how Australia’s enviable wealth and economic prosperity depended upon reliable and affordable power supplies. Now … Continue reading Reaping the Whirlwind: Insane Cost of Renewables Destroying Jobs & Australia’s Economic Prosperity
Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Their collective reliance on the wind and/or sun for power places South Australia, Denmark and Germany at the top of the retail power price league table. Like South Australia, Germany’s grid is on the very brink of collapse. Power consumers (read ‘voters’) are furious and those in power appear powerless to undo the damage. Here’s … Continue reading Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
South Australia’s Wind Power Obsession Sends Business Power Costs Out of this World
As SA’s vapid Premier, Jay Weatherill purrs about his $150 million Elon Musk mega-battery that will power his economic backwater for all of four minutes - when the wind stops blowing - or blows too hard - meanwhile, back on earth, South Australian businesses have watched their power costs almost triple in three years. Large-scale … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Obsession Sends Business Power Costs Out of this World
PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
Politics is a cruel caper, at the best of times. And, in Australia, power politics is merciless. A decade and-a-half of government intervention in the power market has left Australia with the highest power prices in the world and a grid on the brink of collapse. The disaster is largely down to distortions caused by … Continue reading PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
South Australia’s Wind Power Nightmare Contagious: Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Spreads
Among other descriptions, the power pricing and supply calamity that is South Australia has been referred to as the ‘canary in the coal mine’, the consequence of its hell-for-leather renewable energy experiment. The ‘canary in the coal mine’ was, of course, destined to be sacrificed in order to save underground miners from the perils of … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Nightmare Contagious: Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Spreads
