Dictating when and if power consumers get electricity was once the preserve of communist dictatorships (think the USSR, North Korea and Cuba). Thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Australia now sits comfortably in the same dismal ranks. No longer can industrial users expect to have power according to their business plans … Continue reading Australia Enters Third World: Chaotic Delivery of Wind & Solar Forces Industrial Users Off Grid

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
RE Reality Check: PM’s $10bn Pumped Hydro Plan to Save Wind Industry Doesn’t Hold Water
Wind and large-scale solar are doomed, but the saviour is said to be pumped hydro; paid for, of course, with other people’s money. Touted by Turnbull and his hapless sidekick, Josh Frydenberg as the Nation’s mega-battery, the heavily-hyped Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme (shelved in the 1970s because it was uneconomic then) has been … Continue reading RE Reality Check: PM’s $10bn Pumped Hydro Plan to Save Wind Industry Doesn’t Hold Water
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
Frydenberg Fiddles as Renewables Disaster Hits Businesses with 30% Annual Power Price Hike
Flummoxed renewable energy zealots can’t escape the obvious connection between heavily subsidised and utterly unreliable renewables and rocketing power prices. As Malcolm Turnbull and Josh Frydenberg close ranks to protect renewables rent seekers (including the PM’s son, Alex), the casualties keep mounting. One of those is Len Morabito, who operates four independent supermarkets. In … Continue reading Frydenberg Fiddles as Renewables Disaster Hits Businesses with 30% Annual Power Price Hike
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
Postcards from The Edge: The Naked Insanity of Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle
Australia’s self-inflicted energy crisis is an IQ test for anyone game to take the challenge. Published every day, the results provide a permanent record for future generations, enabling them to praise the scholars and punish the dunces. Over the last few weeks, Australia’s Federal Treasurer, Scott Morrison entered the contest and earned a spectacular … Continue reading Postcards from The Edge: The Naked Insanity of Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle
Wind Industry Claims that ‘Coal is Dead’- Nothing But Lies, Myth & Propaganda
The wind industry was founded on myth, is built on lies and runs on a mix of subsidies and propaganda. And, it should never be forgotten that, the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, was only made possible by our political betters. Armed with the belief (not unjustified) that you can fool most … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims that ‘Coal is Dead’- Nothing But Lies, Myth & Propaganda
Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
The cost of accommodating the chaos delivered by wind power is utterly staggering. And provides half the explanation as to why South Australia, Australia’s 'wind power capital' and the world's 'renewables leader', pays the highest retail power prices in the world. The massive subsidies included in the cost paid by retailers for wind power, provides … Continue reading Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
Australia’s Massive Power Price Hike Caused by Intermittent Wind & Solar
The Australian Labor Party is funded by the Union Super funds that its faithful band of apparatchiks control. The likes of Bill Shorten, Greg Combet and Garry Weaven are all heavily invested in maintaining Australia’s Renewable Energy Target, because Union Super money, under their control, has been thrown into wind and solar power outfits like … Continue reading Australia’s Massive Power Price Hike Caused by Intermittent Wind & Solar
