Claims that wind and solar are the cheapest form of energy there is, never survive first contact with reality. The first exhibit is the massive and endless subsidies, without which there would be no wind or solar industries, at all. If left to the market, there would be no generation of wind and solar, at … Continue reading If Wind and Solar Are So Cheap – Why The Need For Massive & Endless Subsidies?

How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar
The apparent object of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies. The evidence suggests we are well on our way. Hijacked by ideologues with arts degrees and bankrolled by crony capitalists ready to make a fast buck, at your expense, energy policy is playing out as one almighty nightmare … Continue reading How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar
No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises
Any increase in dependence on intermittent wind and solar guarantees ever-increasing power prices. In Australia, that trend was set in 2010, following a massive expansion in the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, brought in under then Labor PM, Kevin Rudd. The cost to consumers was always going to be colossal; what the energy boffins didn’t … Continue reading No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises
Baseload Basics: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Guaranteed to Keep Lights On In Australia
Germans soon recognised the importance of their coal-fired power plants, forced to reopen them days after shutting them down in January 2021 because, surprise, surprise, the wind stopped blowing. And that big backpedal occurred long before Vlad Putin began putting the squeeze on the gas supplies needed to prop up those occasions when Germany’s 30,000 … Continue reading Baseload Basics: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Guaranteed to Keep Lights On In Australia
Wrong Bet: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really About Lunatics Gambling With Your Money
Those pushing the wind and solar transition exhibit the kind of moral turpitude you’d expect from lunatics gambling with other people’s money. Politicians might have been forgiven a decade ago, but not now. Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity clearly hasn’t registered with Australia’s political class. The worst (but not the only) offenders are the … Continue reading Wrong Bet: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really About Lunatics Gambling With Your Money
Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australia’s energy system is a diabolical mess, largely thanks to the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target. But the Feds can’t take all the blame, in all instances. A number of States - usually headed by Trotskyites, like Chairman Dan Andrews - are determined to destroy the last vestiges of their economies. What the Fed’s … Continue reading Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Hoping to be powered by sunshine and breezes is like musical chairs: the game designed to ensure that someone always misses out. Increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ means, however, that hundreds of businesses and hundreds of thousands of households get to miss out. Think wind and solar ‘powered’ Texas during its Big Freeze. Or think … Continue reading Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dik_wnOE4dk Australia is not the only country in the grip of the grand delusion that sunshine and breezes will soon completely replace nuclear, gas and coal-fired power. With another large capacity coal-fired power plant signalling its exit from the market place, the renewable energy ideologues are rejoicing. The engineers that built and ran those plants … Continue reading Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Victorians can thank their dangerous and delusional Labor government for their power pricing and supply calamity. Last summer saw mass blackouts and load shedding, following sudden, routine and total collapses in wind and solar output (calm weather and sunset does it every time). Back then its Premier, Daniel Andrews and Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio … Continue reading Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
Add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and rocketing prices are guaranteed. The Danes know it, the Germans know it and South Australians became the butt of international jokes, because of it. The relationship couldn’t be clearer: see above the pertinent little graphic from Dr Michael Crawford, which says it … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
