Recent Energy And Environmental News – May 13, 2013
By John Droz, Jr. ~ A fascinating technical study at Phys.org concludes that turbines have adverse consequences to grid stability.

Who Do You Trust? A Warmist Or Your Lying Eyes?
By Andrew Bolt ~ Australian Climate Change Minister Greg Combet, November 2011: Climate Change Minister Greg Combet backed climate adviser Ross Garnaut’s judgment that Australia was falling behind the world’s biggest economies in dealing with climate change and said it was ‘’absolute rubbish’’ to suggest it was acting ahead of the world… Government advice says […]

By Andrew Bolt ~ Terry McCrann fact-checks Australia’s Chief Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery’s latest prediction: The latest effort from its so-called ‘chief climate commissioner’ really takes the cake with his absurd claim that Australia could be powered “almost entirely by renewable energy.” Oh yeah.

Australian Energy Minister Martin Ferguson Winks – Clean Energy Will Cost More For Less
By Andrew Bolt ~ The White Paper on Energy delivered yesterday by Australian Resources and Energy Minister Martin Ferguson still kowtows to the green movement in way that should embarrass him. - Ferguson still maintains we need “clean energy” for a probably non-solution to a possible non-problem of global warming. - He is still forced […]
Green Jobs Go 0-for-4

Green Energy? Buyer Beware!
By Kevon Martis ~ After a winter storm left us without power for three days, I vowed to buy a backup generator, to guard against future events.

Australia’s Climate Commission Cherry Picks Again

Electrical Power Australia – So Much For That “Clean Energy Future”
By Andrew Bolt~ Several Leftist stupidities collide to put at risk Victoria’s power supplies. First stupidity is to give in to the religious green paranoia of carbon dioxide.
