The principles of economics are not hard, nor are they a mystery. Jobs require viable businesses, viable businesses require cheap and reliable electricity. Deprive businesses of cheap and reliable power and those businesses will very soon cease to exist.

Finkel’s Fantasyland: Report to ‘Save’ Australia’s Power Grid From Renewables Chaos a Death Sentence for Business
*** In yesterday's post we described Alan Finkel's report on Australia's power market fiasco as a mixture of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ – residing in a place where the fundamentals of physics and economics, logic and reason are playfully and permanently suspended – and Goldilocks – the story about an infantile quest to make sure … Continue reading Finkel’s Fantasyland: Report to ‘Save’ Australia’s Power Grid From Renewables Chaos a Death Sentence for Business
Australia’s Renewable Policy Destroying Jobs: Miners Facing Power Price & Supply Crisis
Australia's enviable prosperity isn't due to sunshine and breezes, it's down to iron ore, coal and a bevy of other minerals including copper and uranium of the kind being gouged out of the ground by BHP Billiton at Roxby Downs in South Australia's North (see above).

US Study Shows Wind Power Push to Kill 1.2 Million Real Jobs

Britain’s Economic Nightmare Unfolds: Wind Power Costs Killing Thousands of REAL Jobs
**** A few posts back we focused on the naked malice of Labor's Bill Shorten - as he derided Joanne Kermond on national television.

The Wind Industry’s Jobs Bonanza Myth Smashed, Again
