Not from the power price rises indelibly correlated with increased reliance on wind and solar, of course. As even the Albanese government tacitly concedes, by way of its vote-buying cash rebate, household power bills

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

Many years ago, I was debating the so-called “climate crisis” with a left-wing mover and shaker. He was adamant that the global population had to be reduced to two billion people within the next 50 years. Running some quick calculations brought up some disturbing outcomes of his policy. If this

The Best-Laid Schemes O’ Mice An’ Men

History is littered with the unintended consequences of disastrous environmental policy. However well-meaning. As Michael Crichton outlines, in his novel State of Fear, “management” of Yosemite has lurched from one disaster to another. To protect elk, park managers shot wolves. Elk populations exploded, stripping trees needed by beavers for dam-building.

Another Load of Gas from the Cult

Renewables: Where Is the Money Going?

Some of you may remember the apparent minor miracle that happened in Spain, over a decade ago. No, I’m not talking about the apparition of the Virgin at Garabandal, or the occurences at El Cebrero in the 14th century. No, this was a far more mundane miracle: Solar panels
