Are Solar Panels Any Better than Turbines?

Are Solar Panels Any Better than Turbines?

Do “renewables” make anything better? Almost everything the Climate Cult claims about renewables is nonsense.

It’s said that the only certainties are death and taxes, but Australians can add another to that list, now: soaring power bills. Anthony Albanese’s grubby deal with the zealots in the Greens will do nothing to change the trajectory of the global climate, but is guaranteed to send

You’ve Missed Your Chance

In 2020 the dire issues confronting us all were clearly set out. A long time ago (1989) in a city far, far away, (New York) we were all warned. There is no excuse – you were told: A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the

Heat or Eat? Aussies Facing Albo’s Choice

There are few issues on which the elites are so monstrously out of touch than “climate action” and energy policy. As repeated surveys show, people around the world regularly rank climate change the last out of a list of concerns. Most only even pay lip-service because they’re constantly brow-beaten
