The greatest con job in history started with the idea that you can run an economy on sunshine and breezes. Sequentially, inevitably, every myth and lie put forward by renewable energy rent seekers and their shrinking band of acolytes gets busted and exposed. Lines like: wind power is cheaper than coal (it isn’t); the wind … Continue reading Wind & Solar Built On Endless Lies, Broken Promises & Massive Subsidies

Australia’s Renewable Energy Policy Implodes: With Power Prices Rocketing MPs Demand Immediate End to Wind & Solar Subsidies
In less than a week, RE zealots went from full-scale offensive to wholesale retreat, with disaster now imminent for wind and solar outfits. Instead of getting their National Energy Guarantee up and running - a policy which would have effectively doubled the amount of subsidised and intermittent wind and solar capacity in Australia - Audrey … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Policy Implodes: With Power Prices Rocketing MPs Demand Immediate End to Wind & Solar Subsidies
Downfall: Malcolm Turnbull Doomed as Rebel MP’s Wreck PM’s Big Push for More Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australia’s RE obsessed PM, Malcolm Turnbull has committed political Hara-Kiri with his brazen push to double subsidies to wind and solar. The National Energy Guarantee is being pitched as a policy that will slash Australian retail power bills, notwithstanding that it effectively increases the current annual Renewable Energy Target (currently 33,000 GWh for wind … Continue reading Downfall: Malcolm Turnbull Doomed as Rebel MP’s Wreck PM’s Big Push for More Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australia’s RE Debacle Means It’s Time to Drain the Subsidised Wind & Solar Swamp
Once upon a time, in a land far away - a place blessed with coal, gas and uranium - electricity flowed all day and all night, and it was practically given away. Then came subsidised wind and solar; mandates; targets; penalties and feed in tariffs. After less than a dozen years, what was an energy … Continue reading Australia’s RE Debacle Means It’s Time to Drain the Subsidised Wind & Solar Swamp
D-Day For Australia’s Energy Debacle: End of Bipartisan Support Means End for Wind & Solar
As desperate as they are silly, Australia’s renewable energy rent-seekers and the zealots that do their bidding have called in an airstrike on their own position. Making nonsensical claims that adding even more heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will lead to substantial reductions in retail power prices, has exposed these people for … Continue reading D-Day For Australia’s Energy Debacle: End of Bipartisan Support Means End for Wind & Solar
Politics of Power: Spiralling Power Prices Signal End for Wind & Solar Subsidies
In Australia, nothing stops a barbecue like the topic of ever spiralling power prices.

More … Continue reading Politics of Power: Spiralling Power Prices Signal End for Wind & Solar Subsidies
Energy Idiocracy: How Australia’s Power ‘Policy’ Was Hijacked and Destroyed by Idiots
It’s said you shouldn’t assume conspiracy, until you’ve ruled out incompetence. Australia’s energy debacle is, however, a mixture of both. In Mike Judge’s off-the-wall, futuristic comedy, ‘Idiocracy’, lunatics not only take over the asylum, they end up running the United States - into the ground. Starting on the premise that morons began out-breeding the vaguely … Continue reading Energy Idiocracy: How Australia’s Power ‘Policy’ Was Hijacked and Destroyed by Idiots
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

What’s missing from Australia’s self-inflicted energy crisis, is reason and common sense. When you’ve dug yourself into a hole, the first remedial action is to stop digging.

Adding Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Spiralling Power Prices: Just Ask South Australians
Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg reckons adding more wind and solar will cut power prices, like South Australia never happened. In his efforts to sell his National Energy Guarantee, Frydenberg and his coterie of ‘expert’ advisors have not only ignored reality, they’ve attempted to substitute it with their very own. Over the last decade, there … Continue reading Adding Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Spiralling Power Prices: Just Ask South Australians
