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’

Giant Renewable Energy Debacle Demands Even Bigger Lies: Boffins Claim More Wind & Solar Guaranteed to Cut Power Prices
Efforts by RE zealots to maintain control of Australia’s energy policy have turned to high farce. Working on the adage that the bigger the lie, the more often that it’s told, the more people are likely to believe it, the AEMO’s Audrey Zibelman and the Energy Security Board’s Kerry Schott have decided to take reality, … Continue reading Giant Renewable Energy Debacle Demands Even Bigger Lies: Boffins Claim More Wind & Solar Guaranteed to Cut Power Prices
Bureaucrats Backtrack: ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Now Deemed Impossible Before 2040
Suddenly, came the realisation that subsidised wind and solar will never replace Australia’s coal-fired power plants. The idea that they ever could was, of course, a perfect nonsense. Talk about being ‘technology agnostic’, ‘inevitable transitions’ and wind and solar actually ‘competing’ with coal, gas and hydro, say more about the protagonist’s state of mental health, … Continue reading Bureaucrats Backtrack: ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Now Deemed Impossible Before 2040
If Australians Want Reliable & Affordable Electricity: It’s Coal-Fired Power or Nothing
The debate surrounding Australia’s energy crisis is occupied by two camps: deluded zealots and pragmatic realists. STT sits with the latter: we couldn’t care less whether electricity was generated using doggie doo, provided it’s available and affordable, to all-comers. Australia, as the world’s third largest exporter of uranium, ought to be throwing its money and … Continue reading If Australians Want Reliable & Affordable Electricity: It’s Coal-Fired Power or Nothing
Liberal MPs Demand End to Australia’s Economy-Wrecking, Hidden $60bn Federal Power Tax
Already suffering the world’s highest power prices, Australian power consumers have watched prices jump by anything up to 28% in 12 months. The greatest increases occurred, funnily enough, in the all-renewable obsessed Australia Capital Territory, home to the Australian Federal Parliament in Canberra. The ACT entered power purchase agreements to buy wind power generated (occasionally) … Continue reading Liberal MPs Demand End to Australia’s Economy-Wrecking, Hidden $60bn Federal Power Tax
No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
What passes for political leadership in this country is engaged in a wind and solar-fuelled economic suicide mission. Subsidies to grid wrecking wind and solar (when soft loans, green schemes and taxpayer handouts are added) are pushing $5 billion a year, punishing households and businesses alike. As wind and solar power capacity increases, power prices … Continue reading No Way Back From RE Disaster: Energy Minister Abandons Australia’s Power Consumers
Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious
Intermittent wind and solar are a natural guarantee of grid chaos and rocketing power prices. The debacle that started in the renewable energy ‘superpower’, also known as South Australia has broken the border and is spreading fast. New South Wales is now being treated to a lesson on how increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ inevitably … Continue reading Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious
Zero Sum Game: Wind Power Always Needs Gas, But Gas Can Always Go It Alone
Wind power is like that annoying tight-wad cousin who stays for a week, drinks your beer fridge dry and then leaves in the dead of night. We’re constantly told that the ‘transition’ to wind power is inevitable. But, in the same breath, we are also told that, at least for a while, it will need … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Wind Power Always Needs Gas, But Gas Can Always Go It Alone
Renewables Reckoning: Close Coal-Fired Power Plants & Watch Power Prices Rocket
Adding massively subsidised and chaotically delivered wind and solar to a power grid is guaranteed to send power prices through the roof (see above). Witness a little economic backwater called South Australia which - due to a maniacal obsession with sunshine and breezes - suffers the highest retail power prices in the world, routine load … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Close Coal-Fired Power Plants & Watch Power Prices Rocket
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
