“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. So said Ronald Reagan, the folksy and affable 40th President of the USA. And, so it’s been with energy policy in the USA, Australia, Europe and dozens of other places where lobbyists took control of politicians and … Continue reading Policy Burn Out: Rocketing Power Prices Product of Government Obsession with Unreliable Wind & Solar

Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers
It’s an unassailable fact: add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and power prices skyrocket. South Australians, Danes and Germans fight for line honours over which of their proletariat suffers the world’s highest power prices. As to the Australian states hooked up to the Eastern Grid, Dr Michael Crawford’s simple … Continue reading Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers
On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
The relationship between rocketing power prices and chaotically intermittent wind and solar is crystal clear. Let’s call it Germany, Denmark and South Australia, where wind and solar obsessions have driven power prices into orbit. While RE zealots continue to chant the mantra that wind and solar are practically free, and getting cheaper all the time, … Continue reading On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
Victoria’s Suicidal 50% Renewable Energy Target Set to Wreck Grid & Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
Want to know what a 50% RET does to grid stability and power prices, then look no further than South Australia. Despite some desperate wind industry 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 … Continue reading Victoria’s Suicidal 50% Renewable Energy Target Set to Wreck Grid & Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
Suddenly, the Australian press are treating wind power with the contempt it deserves, due to an about-face by former Greens leader, Bob Brown. True it is you won’t hear Dr Bob explaining why heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power is a meaningless power source. Bob won’t be talking about the toxic lakes of heavy … Continue reading ‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
100% Ruinable: Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal Would Cost Americans $4.5 Trillion
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ heralds a new Dark Ages nightmare. Although, in fairness to the original pixie dream girl, the notion that the world’s leading energy consumer can operate entirely on sunshine and breezes is an utter fantasy. Ocasio-Cortez and her clueless acolytes run the line that because the sun and wind are … Continue reading 100% Ruinable: Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal Would Cost Americans $4.5 Trillion
Pricing Vanity: Counting the Crushing Costs of Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
The claim that renewables are cheaper than coal, gas and nuclear is simply nonsense. There’s a reason why wind and solar obsessed Germany, Denmark and South Australia fight it out for the honour of paying the world’s highest power prices. Where conventional generators can be counted on to deliver 24 x 7, wind and solar … Continue reading Pricing Vanity: Counting the Crushing Costs of Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
Reality Check: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
30 years, $trillions in subsidies and yet the combined output of wind and solar amounts to little more than a rounding error. Most sane adults would call that a monumental F-A-I-L. Meanwhile, ever reliable coal-fired power just keeps on delivering, where never-reliable wind and solar deliver nothing but a subsidy stream to their rent-seeking owners. … Continue reading Reality Check: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Power to the People: Australian Voters Demand Reliable & Affordable Electricity & Coal Just Keeps on Delivering
The 2019 Federal Election was billed as a referendum on ‘Climate Change’. The Green/Labor Alliance promised an all wind and sun powered future, starting with a 50% RET and a crippling carbon dioxide gas tax, dressed up as a 45% CO2 emissions reduction target. Every political pundit from Perth to Penrith picked Labor to win … Continue reading Power to the People: Australian Voters Demand Reliable & Affordable Electricity & Coal Just Keeps on Delivering
Regressive Renewables: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Deliberately Designed to Destroy Wealth & Prosperity
Australia’s Renewable Energy Target reads like a National suicide note, but the land of Oz is no orphan in that regard. If the enemies of state were looking for insidious, all-pervasive policy perfectly designed to wreck an economy from within (while barely raising a murmur amongst the proles), they need look no further than ratcheting … Continue reading Regressive Renewables: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Deliberately Designed to Destroy Wealth & Prosperity
