I understand that Warren Entsch wants to take action on the Great Barrier Reef, and of course he is miles ahead of the appalling Melissa Price, but listening to him on RN this morning, he seems to want to downplay the serious impact a rising temperature is having on the GBR. Now you can blame…
Carnegie dropped by WA Government
As a fan of the developing wave technology being implemented by Carnegie Clean Energy, I’m saddened to see this development. Wave tech is probably the most discrete of the Renewable options and the location of Albany in the South West of WA is a perfect location to harness that power. They are not the first…
Chaos Theory and Scott Morrison
I’m at a loss as to why folk think there is a rational plan behind Scott Morrison’s latest PR campaign following the shattering of his “big stick” (or should that read big swinging dick) policy. Ockham’s Razor offers the hypothesis of “simpler solutions are more likely to be correct than complex ones”. Scott governs by…
Traditional Liberals aimed for “Getting out of the way”
The further we move along the track towards a low Carbon Economy, the clearer it is that the target is achievable, and the more obvious it is that the current Coalition Government are incapable of leading us into the Promised Land. The recent report that we can hit our targets by government simply getting out…
Rising corruption & Coal
Lately in Coal markets around the world, there has been an increase of exposure of cases where the industry has found compliant partners happy to rort the system of Energy generation for personal gain. Usually folk with ties to Government. It’s not that there is any more corruption than usual, just that the Economics of…
Can Renewable Energy run a steel mill?
This question popped up today so I thought I should add it to the blog in an endeavour to keep clearing away the attempted road blocks coming from Tony Abbott and his merry band of Idealists. This clip from the ABC’s 7:30 Report was published in September of last year and features Tony himself incorrectly…
Climate action excuses
This morning I saw a video clip of a chap who claimed to be a Scientist holding forth on taking action on Climate Change, then not being able to address the question on why we should be using Renewables if Climate Change if it’s not caused by humans? Lets have a look at that question…
Liberal Energy policy–Echoes of Clarke and Dawe’s The front fell off.
Election time is always fraught with danger for political parties no matter which side of politics you are on. From the aggressive hand shake of Mark Latham with John Howard, to John Hewson trying to explain the GST on a birthday cake, to Pauline’s selection of candidates (pick one. Any one), traps lay in wait…
The Victorian election and Renewables
How do the Leaders stack up in the coming Victorian State Election? From my perspective in the Renewables industry, the current Labor government is attuned to the changes required and fully aware of the economics and job growth potential within the industry. The same cannot be said for Matthew Guy who appears not to have…
Reposit and improving your position with Energy companies
Wondering where the changes to a low carbon economy are heading and how best to take advantage of those changes? This will help you get a handle on some of the basics. I’m thinking this will become part of a series where evolving technologies will be explained without too much technical jargon. Renewable Energy is…
