By Andrew Bolt ~ Keith Orchison detects another false promise from Australian prime Minister Julia Gillard: Julia Gillard could hardly be more clear about what she is promising – a $250 cut in the household power bill... Gillard’s promise rests on four pillars. The first is reform of the rules under which the Australian Energy […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ The price of green madness. As with water desalination plants, the price for solar subsidies (the feed in tariff) should be isolated and identified on all bills so we can all see plainly the cost of listening to greens: Households in the State of Queensland will soon be slugged $240 annually […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Over the last three days, the cost of electricity in Australia is in the news. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been trying to get mileage by saying that the introduction of the price on Carbon Dioxide emissions has nothing to do with the steep increases in the cost of electrical power […]
By Andrew Bolt~ How many dead pensioners does Julia Gillard need to save her useless carbon tax? In a speech on Tuesday, the Prime Minister defended the 10 per cent hike in power prices caused by her tax, claiming it was dwarfed by the cost of “over-investment” in “poles and wires” by the states. Forget […]
By Andrew Bolt~ Julia Gillard’s plan to cut power prices is to have more blackouts of the kind that kill pensioners. Yes indeed: instead of dropping the carbon tax that makes pensioners too scared to turn on the power, she wants to slash spending on infrastructure and have more blackouts, especially on hot days: One […]
By Andrew Bolt~ Pardon? But Prime Minister, there is a very easy way to cut power bills by 10 per cent: FIVE weeks after imposing a 10 per cent hike in electricity bills with the carbon tax, Julia Gillard says power prices are rising “too far and fast”. But the Prime Minister says it’s not […]
By Andrew Bolt ~ Bottom line: Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s carbon tax will next year add $4 billion to power prices – or slash the value of power stations accordingly: ELECTRICITY generators have warned that they face a cashflow crunch of hundreds of millions of dollars to buy carbon tax permits as the latest […]
Yesterday, a fascinating article was posted in one of the major Australian media outlets. The article said that in some places of the State of NSW, (New South Wales) Rooftop Solar panels were providing power fed back to the grids that was the same price as for coal fired power. This is the link to […]
By Andrew Grossman Last week, Bloomberg reported that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulatory push against the fossil fuel industry will cost America’s largest utility, the Southern Company, up to $18 billion in compliance costs. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. According to data in a filing by Southern last week, the EPA’s […]
This Post details the failure of politicians over a number of years, and how the blame for their failure is now being sheeted home to the people themselves. Yesterday, I mentioned the incongruous situation where those people who accept that Climate Change/Global Warming is man induced will believe the most complex Science about that, and […]
By David Kreutzer, Ph.D. Proposition 23 seeks to put some of California’s more egregious energy regulations on hold—at least until the California economy recovers. Current law will force consumers to switch to energy sources that can be four or more times as expensive as conventional energy, driving energy prices up, employers out, and consumers crazy. […]
By Andrew Bolt This highlights what I have been writing about for the last two and a half years, of how the ramifications of this mindless adherence to the false premise that CO2 emissions from power plants are causing Climate Change/Global Warming, and the misguided, mainly politically based efforts to alleviate the alleged problem will […]
By Ernest Istook. In this short video from before the election, the President mentions that power plants will have to retrofit their plants to comply with his plan for Cap and Trade. He has no concept of what that means, and more importantly, failed to get correct advice prior to saying this. I’m also puzzled […]
Where do you start? This Legislation, artfully called The American Power Act, is quite literally dynamite, but not for what you might think. 987 pages, and the thing that worries me most is that surely there must be people out there who, in drafting this legislation, must know the impact it is going to have. […]
By Andrew Bolt You’ll pay for (Australian Prime Minister) Kevin Rudd’s green madness, warns Terry McCrann: YOUR electricity bills are going to at least double in the next 10 years and relentlessly rising power prices could easily triple them. If, that is, and when, you actually get the electricity. Because just as certainly we are […]
