Labor fails in South Australia -- economy is stuffed

Andrew Bolt, Melbourne HS reporter, sums it up well for poor old South Australia. The result of Greenpeace lover ex-Premier Mike Rann and now wishy washy Premier Jay Weatherill, Labor's legacy will be the most expensive electricity in Australia, at 31 cents per kWh (domestic), also SA has more wind farms (scams) than any other state. There is a direct correlation between number of wind farms and more expensive electricity, and domestic poverty.

Further more, SA's Labor Government public servants outnumber manufacturing jobs. Labor's record is a net loss of 23,000 manufacturing jobs and a net gain of 20,000 bureaucrats. The public servant salary bill now eats up 47% of the Labor Government's income, the largest for any state in Australia. What will happen if the SA Holden car plant closes in 2016? (Due to excessive union wage demands, power pricing and Labor's carbon tax)

The March state election must see the end of the Weatherill Labor Government. But do the Liberals know what to do to ensure a prosperous future? How about STOPPING WIND FARMS for starters.

Australia gets set to repeal Labor's Carbon Tax in the Senate

CARBON CARBON CARBON CARBON CARBON CARBON CARBON CARBON

What a wonderful element is CARBON. How dare the ex-Labor Government tax "carbon", or what they really mean is "emissions of carbon dioxide". This week the Coalition will introduce to the Senate their Carbon Tax Repeal Bill to abolish this stupid legislation and hopefully Australia will return a tad to the way we were before ex-PMs Rudd and Julia came on the scene. We've got rid of them, so now let's get rid of their eco-religious bunkum.

Carbon is the most wonderful element in the Periodic Table. It forms more compounds than ALL the other elements put together, i.e., it makes up the subject of ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, which really makes the world go round. Methane or CH4 is a major fossil fuel in Australia, for domestic use and export. Oil is composed of more complex hydrocarbons which is the source of fuels for our cars, trucks, trains, ships and airplanes. When these fuels are burnt then CO2 and H2O are released to the atmosphere, and these molecules are entirely beneficial to mankind and the biosphere.

Both carbon dioxide and water are essential for plant growth, for crops and forests. It is madness for politicians to restrict "greenhouse gas emissions" to the atmosphere. We DO NOT WANT a low carbon economy, which equates with poverty, like as in past primitive societies. Let's see some sense in the Federal Senate this coming week. Merry Xmas from Allano

Barossa Wind Farm Project .. Get Lost

Pacific Hydro has planned a wind farm at Keyneton, South Australia. The site is located 6 km west of Sedan and 10 km SE of Angaston and runs about 15 kms North to South along the Mount Lofty Ranges. An application was submitted to the SA Development Assessment Commission (DAC) seeking approval of 42 turbines having a maximum height of 145.5 meters from the ground to the tip of the blade when vertical.

There were many objections by community groups in the Barossa Region with concerns about noise and health problems. The Labor Planning Minister John Rau says that the EPA studied noise levels and that there was no detectable concern, therefore approval has been given.

My advice to Pacific Hydro is to get lost and take all your wind farms with you. We don't want you or ANY of your wind farms (=WIND SCAMS) in South Australia.

Wind farms are just a scam that should NOT be allowed in South Australia. We should develop our extensive gas and coal resources for electricity generation and explore the use of nuclear power since in South Australia we have the largest uranium mine in the world. It is crazy of the present Labor Government to allow more wind farms to be built. Next March the state elections will allow the populace to vote out of office this Labor Premier Jay Weatherill and replace him and his hopeless Government with an adult and sensible Liberal Government. (Oz Liberal not US).

The new Coalition Government after March must stop all future wind farm developments and start to phase out Government subsidies to existing wind farms (ca 24) with the idea of demolishing them all within a decade. The turbines can be converted to scrap metal and their sites restored to the former pristine countryside. Wind farms need ca 100% backup by gas turbine generators so now electricity production will continued to be produced by burning gas and coal. The CO2 emissions are not pollution and will greatly benefit the biosphere and agriculture. A suitable goal would be to get the domestic price down to 20 cents/kWhr instead of the present 31 cents.

Very costly electricity in South Australia

South Australia's promotion of renewable energy by its Labor Governments (Premiers Mike Rann and now Jay Weatherill) has resulted in the State having the most costly electricity for domestic and industry supply. My last power bill was calculated at 31cents/kWhr, a rate which is double that in the USA. The reason is the ridiculous expenditure on subsidizing wind farms (=WIND SCAMS) and domestic solar panels. All the wind farms need backing up from gas-fueled power stations so why build them in the first place? Answer,is they are just a SCAM to squeeze money from the Government for providing a dribble of electricity at times when we least need it.

The Advertiser today (26/11/13) has an article "We are in a power of debt" which reveals in South Australia, unpaid energy bills total more than $30 million and that figure is only to grow. The Australian Energy Regulator's recent report shows that 39,626 SA households owed on average $700 for electricity and $265 for gas in the June quarter. Also, SA households pay a higher proportion of income towards energy bills than those in other mainland states, despite being among lowest of energy users.

The cause of the undesirable situation can be laid at the feet of ex-Premier Mike Rann, a Greenpeace member and promoter of windmills and other useless renewable energy projects (remember the now defunct geothermal project up north?). South Australia does NOT need expensive wind or solar energy projects when it has plentiful coal and gas resources, and also the largest uranium mine in the world. Mike Rann was a Green devotee and now we see the result in our power bills. Let's stop all this Green/Labor eco-religious fantasy and instead sensibly develop our coal and gas resources for the benefit of all.

Hate propaganda spewed by The Age and ABC TV

The Age newspaper is out of control with it's biased journalism wanting PM Tony Abbott to fail. Likewise we get the same daily spewing of anti-Abbott and anti-carbon propaganda on the 7.30pm "TV News" .Why can't the ABC (Australian Bullshit Corporation) be made to operate within it's Charter and present fair reporting of events, instead of trying to invent news that is traitorous to our country?

The latest outrageous spin is to blame PM Tony Abbott for the alleged spying or hacking of phones of Indonesian officials. This was supposed to have been done in 2009 when Kevin Rudd was PM and has nothing to do with Tony Abbott.

The ABC TV (like the BBC)continues to pour forth ridiculous propaganda about the dangers of CO2 emissions and how we must strive for a low-carbon economy, which means abandoning carbon fuels in favor of costly wind mills and solar plants. Pox on them all. CO2 is good stuff and must be cherished. Our future prosperity depends on burning fossil fuels and will be for at least another 200 years.

What must be done to establish a prosperous future for Australia

The new Coalition Government of PM Tony Abbott must repeal the Carbon Tax legislation ASAP and then ALL related taxes, regulations and charges involving carbon dioxide which is falsely listed as an atmospheric pollutant. The details of how to do this are set out by Viv Forbes on the Climate Sceptics Blog Hopefully, this coming week of the first sitting of the new Parliament we will see progress being made. It would be nice to see Bill Shorten, Leader of the Opposition, take a bipartisan stand and say the Carbon Tax must go. We'll see what happens. Cheers Allano

California further on the skids

How not to have a prosperous state! Alan Caruba spells out the economic follies of California in his blog "facts not fantasy" Because of restrictive Green policies the cost of doing business in California is 30% higher than in neighboring states. Business and workers are leaving for more prosperous regions of the USA. The Green CA Government are planning to have 33% of the state's energy coming from wind and solar at a cost of $114 billion! This is even crazier than the UK and David Cameron's energy policy.

We are fortunate in Australia to at last have a sensible conservative Coalition Government with Tony Abbott as Prime Minister. Only 50 days have gone and Labor/Green policies are now on the chopping board. The carbon tax and mining tax (super profits) are top priority to be abolished. Already the Climate Change Department has been given the "heave-ho" and good riddance to them. Watch this space for more good news.
