Come Clean on the UN COP24 Meeting in Poland

1. Hi Viv,

   In this post, you have stated what ought to be our Federal Government’s actions in this matter both clearly and concisely.
   You have very likely seen my 2012 paper: “Wind Farms in Eastern Australia – recent lessons”. It is still readily available and easily found.
   My concerns expressed then, based as they were on an analysis of a calendar year’s wind farm performance data, were then, and are even more so now, given that there are now so many more of these useless, dangerous-to-the-grid machines, are that, should we continue on down the road of the mad rush to more and more renewables, driven of course by the demands of the Paris Agreement and its siblings:
   1. The Eastern Australian Grid will collapse into frequent, unpredictable, grid-wide blackouts, as is already occurring in South Australia,
   2. As a consequence, the Australian economy will be irretrievably destroyed.

   Indeed, as a consequence of the ever-escalating electricity prices being imposed on all of those of us not on the climate and renewables gravy train, and the business decisions made as a result of those prices, it may well be that (2) above is already well underway.
   Furthermore, this mad pursuit of renewables as a means of reducing CO2 emissions, is a totally futile policy.

   Keep up the good work.
   Best regards,
   Paul Miskelly

2. Greetings

   Although we are opposed to the deluded emphasis on wind and solar power, which cannot provide the necessary levels required by the industries that produce windmills and solar panels, we should nonetheless all protect ourselves individually from the inevitable power shortages and energy prices by making ourselves self-sufficient regarding energy.

   I have been ‘off the grid’ for ten years with a minimal but sufficient system.

3. To my Saltbush colleagues:

   So the Climate Caravan rolls on in Katowice, replete with ageing naturalists telling us the world is doomed, little children purporting to know more about climate science than, say, Professor Richard Lindzen or Ian Plimer, and now former bodybuilder, California governor and Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger telling the conference what they all want to hear – that the world should never ever had started using fossil fuels. This delusion, that civilisation began and ended with the Stone Age, suggests that Arnold should be the first paying passenger on the solar-powered plane first used in 2015, when it took 300 days longer to fly around the world than the 19th Century balloon of Phileas Fogg. We need to withdraw from the Paris Agreement now, to avoid being tarnished by the idiocy and futility on show right now in Poland.
