Biden forgets he was introducing the President of India, Modi.
The press are the same. Collective amnesia.
CNN want another Trump vs Harris debate.
They have already forgotten the first Presidential debate as if it never happened.
No one asks Kamala why ‘sharp as a tack’ Biden walked away? And posted his resignation on X.
Or whether she threatened him with Amendment 25?
Clinton, Pelosi, Obama, Harris, Schumer, Jeffries all swore Biden was ‘sharp as a tack’.
Plainly they lied. No problem.
Everyone just accepts that Biden is not fit for office and it will never be mentioned again.
Except to amuse. It’s funny. But who has been running the government for the last 4 years?
The press are not interested in Biden. He is only the old duffer President of the United States.
And Trump is a ‘threat’ to Democracy who should be in the bulls eye. What democracy? Who elected Kamala?

I am a fervent Australian Trump supporter.
Having said that … the current partisanship over this US election season seems to be a large scale ‘Rorschach Ink Blot Test’ for the pollsters and pundits.
.
I can see the grass roots support and enthusiasm for Trump via his rallies.
I can also see the support of the oligarchs and the MSM for Kamala.
.
Whilst I hope Trump can overcome obvious election interference (and the yet to come cheating) to become President again – How these will translate into the actual result is really just a guess.
.
Remember … that Biden campaigned from his basement (and was obviously ‘sun-downing’) during the 2020 election cycle – but his ‘boosters’ managed to persuade (and cheat) enough to get him across the line.
Biden was always irrelevant – especially when he became President.

Norman Fenton recently stated that from his Bayesian calculations, Trump would need an 8 point lead to counteract election chicanery.

“Who elected Kamala?”
She was first elected in 2003 as San Francisco District Attorney and was elected, again as District Attorney, in 2007. In 2010 and 2014 she was elected as California Attorney General and in the 2016 United States Senate election she was elected as Senator for California.
In the 2020 United States presidential election Biden and Harris were voted President and Vice-President respectively. In 2024 at the Democratic National Convention Harris was
as the Democratic candidate for the presidency
116
On August 5th, 2024 Kamala was installed as the Nominee, by a cabal of oligarchs and DNC officials – despite not one Democrat voting for her in any 2024 Primary as the Presidential Nominee.
Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly told a big fat lie that they ran an Open Primary for the Presidential Nominee – in fact, they denied RFK Jr any opportunity to challenge Biden (as the incumbent).
According to all Norms, as observed in past US elections – US ‘Democracy’ has been subverted, by Democrats.

Sydney anti-Disinfo Bill rally at Speaker’s Corner an apt location

He’s doing good work is John Ruddick and his partner in crime Ross Cameron. Hats off.
50
What I would like to know is why does Sky News ignore Ruddick and Cameron? Shows the pettiness of these circles I suggest.
Cameron was booted off the best Sky News political analysis show to ever grace our screens (the Mk1 version, the current show is pretty much Rita Panahi’s twitter feed of crazy blue haired people antics). Seems the dirt still remains from that incident, but Im not sure what Ruddick has done. He used to be all over Sky, but you never see him there anymore, just when he has a lot to offer as a sitting member of the NSW upper house, strange.
50
SKY is lightweight and espouses the mainstream conservatism typical of Rupert and his acolytes. Ersatz and soppy at times IMHO. Cameron and Bernardi were the best and didn’t sing from the song sheet. Morrow is tolerable but Rowan Dean pis*es me off.

The sub-Solar point is crossing the Equator; however, seasons have been canceled because of CO2 in the atmosphere.
260
Finally, spring in Australia. Australia is one of the few and countries to change season on the 1st of the month, not the 23rd. Who needs science when you have government? But this is a country which believes that a slight increase in CO2 over 250 years is dangerous too.
340
Meteorological seasons change with the calendar (because meteorologists aren’t very good with numbers?) while astronomical seasons change with the sun, ie. physical reality: so the sun-worshipping pagans (country folk) were onto it long ago, as it was a life & death matter to know when to plant or harvest.
The consensus in NZ is 1st September marks spring, so you’re not alone TdeF. Two climbers were stuck on Mt Cook last week for 4 days thanks to ‘the storm blizzard of the year’ which everyone knew was coming, except them. They were safely rescued, though suffering from frostbite. One of the DOC rangers commented (paraphrased) these dangerous out-of-season storms are going to become more frequent with climate change.
It was still winter fergoodness sake!
320
The consensus is in the press and bureaucracy.
I have spent a lot of time in the US and many trips to Europe and never heard of the seasons changing on 1st month. I observe the amazing lack of geography knowledge in the US. But they get the weather right. Possibly that is because the temperature range is so dramatic in the US, -40 to +40 in Colorado and the Chinooks. Unlike temperate Australia and NZ. Punksatawny Phil doesn’t need bureaucrats or newspapers to tell him the season.
210
Possibly the fact that we have so many European trees and flowers in Australia and New Zealand creates the impression of an early spring as they respond to the very much higher solar intensity. At equinox, Melbourne is at 37 South. London is at 51 North.
130
It’s best to change seasons with the calendar. In the middle east many years ago, I was woken up by cannons going off in the middle of the night to signal a calendar changing with the season (well, actually, a new month starting because the moon had appeared).
10
If you look at the temperatures rather than the position of the Sun, taking Hobart as an example, Sep is 3 degrees hotter than June on average. You can’t have June being mostly Autumn and Sep being mostly Winter. It’s been a cold start to spring in Adelaide, but my apricots are quite large already rather than just blooming.
There is a good argument that summer really kicks in a couple of weeks into December and goes into March, but the 1st is a better arbitrary choice than solstice or equinox.
50
“so the sun-worshipping pagans (country folk) were onto it long ago,”
So were the sheep. They always manage to start lambing at Oimelg (or Imbolc if you’re Icelandic). The beginning of Spring (first week of August in the Sthrn hemisphere).
Something to do with the Sun and day-length apparently.
How do the sheep know?
100
I believe the change was made when the troops on the First Fleet were getting hot in their winter uniforms. They could change for summer into a lighter uniform so they decided to start summer on the first of December rather than the 23rd. So the change was made for a practical reason, pragmatic even. Maybe the rest of the world could learn from us.

I have heard naturalists in Victoria who describe Southern Australia as having 6 seasons. Hate to mention it, but the aborigines also referred to six seasons, apparently. Birak (December – January) ,Bunuru (February – March), Djeran (April – May), Makuru (June – July), Djilba (August – September), Kambarang (October – November). Cant wait for all the woke media to change the names to the aboriginal ones.
41
How can that be if there was no unified language? do we just pick one and say that’s it?

I did say ” Hate to mention it”. 🙂

23rd is too late. Spring is when the Camphor Laurels start to grow new lime green leaves.
40
I think it depends on where you live.
I live at about 37 degrees South. I don’t like to plant the turnips before the 10th of October because of the risk of a late frost.
If you live in a city and get your food from the supermarket, Spring can be whenever you want it to be.

Anthony Watts (wuwt) wrote an article on the weekend re: certain media outlets’ negative feedback (over-hyped BS) about a just-released paper concerning a 1-day spike in temps, back on 18 March 2022, in Antarctica’s Dry Valleys.
While the paper’s title has ‘Weather Anomaly’ within it, alarmist idiot (ai) editors cranked-up the headlines to Antarctica ‘burning’ and ‘melting’, all because a naturally occurring foehn wind on/near the autumnal equinox came roaring off the frozen plateau, heading down to the sea.

This summer might be a rerun of 1974.
‘In what was a remarkable period, the month of January 1974 stands out, with record rainfall and widespread flooding in central and eastern Australia. In area-average terms it is the wettest month on record across Australia, the NT and Queensland, while it is the second wettest over SA and NSW.’ (BoM)
10
‘Strong past La Niña events include 1973-74 and 2010-11, both of which were part of multi-year La Niña events and were associated with widespread flooding in many parts of Australia. 1974 is still Australia’s wettest year on record, and 2010 and 2011 is Australia’s wettest 24-month period on record.

Our friends in Oz may have been watching the advance of the new centre right UK party “reform” as Nigel Farage sparked it into life and gained 6 seats and if not for the vagaries of our voting system might have got around 80, bearing in mind they got a larger percentage of the vote than the Third placed Lib Dems who scored over 70 new MP’s.
This is a very good account of the Reform conference held this week

Farage is more of a threat to both Labor and the Tories than Climate Change. Surely people are sick of the sky is falling stories? And the warmest May in the history of the UK. I read nothing of the scorching summer, except the occasional 30C heat wave.

One simple discipline in life is eating to match your output. Ozempic has now made that obsolete as well. We are in the era of the quick fix.

The “quick fix” has me thinking of a satirical play I heard (probably mid-’90s) on ABC radio. My vague recollections: scientists had developed a marvellous new drug, and experiments with mice found it prolonged their lives to *many* times their natural span. They were sure the drug would have a similar effect on humans. Unfortunately, raw materials were limited. Of course the politicians all managed to secure supplies for themselves and were duly medicated. Likewise the scientists.
Then the apparently immortal mice started spontaneously exploding, followed, not very long afterwards, by the humans. A variation on the Douglas Adams B-Ark theme.

It used to be man made CO2 driven Global Warming. But as the place isn’t warming significantly after 36 years of rapid warming, I suppose we can agree that CO2 causes erratic weather when weather used to be so predictable. The Romans used auspices. Goat entrails. We have the IPCC and the WEF. And of course the head of the UN who pretends 100F is 100C and the seas are boiling.
270
‘ … the place isn’t warming significantly …’
Some people might get the idea that its significant, I wonder how temps compare to the MWP.
https://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_August_2024_v6_20x9-scaled.jpg
31
Isn’t it a bit odd that the ‘warming’ has occurred in just 12 months? CO2 is a dead straight line with a slope of only 0.4%. So how is CO2 connected to temperature again?
I would go so far as to say that it proves CO2 is likely not directly and certainly not solely responsible for any of the temperature changes in the graph given that the temperature last year was the same as in 1980! So a 0.8C jump in temperature in only one year cannot be explained by a steady slow and linear increase in CO2.

All true, however this recent spike is not in the AGW script, so my money is on H2O in the stratosphere.

Most Hydrogen is made through steam methane reforming from a chemical reaction between steam and methane, the main component of natural gas. Producing one ton of H emits more than 6 tons of CO2.
When the CO2 is “captured & stored” this makes sense to the ClimateCult™.
Unmentioned is that when the H is burned, water vapor, a “greenhouse gas”, is produced. Water vapor condenses to become clouds. Who knew?
https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jonimitchell/bothsidesnow.html
250
Also, one methane molecule will make two hydrogen molecules. So 16g of methane will make 4g of hydrogen.
So just under 900kJ of energy in the methane ends up as 480kJ of hydrogen.
This seems like such a good idea, I wonder if the government will give me $900k dollars and I’ll give them $480k back.
Did anyone look at the usefulness of this before pressing the grant button?

I observed, soon after arriving in Oz twenty-five years ago, that Australian comedy was a little weird. The comedy made here for kids was great, and quite advanced, yet the comedy produced for adults was infantile. I still don’t know why.

” yet the comedy produced for adults was infantile. I still don’t know why.”
Australian culture is far more American, NZ is far more British. Its very visible in the humour and when it comes to infantile the Yanks are king!

Sadly, once-great British comedy has, at least on TV, been infected with the woke virus and very little of the new stuff is watchable. Mostly, it’s unbelievably bad. Nowadays, if I fancy a laugh, I search YouTube for old Brit comedy, maybe up to 2000 or so. I still find the Two Ronnies hilarious! Also The Sketch Show and The Fast Show.
I almost gave myself another heart attack recently when I listened to a very old Brit radio panel game called, “I’m Sorry I haven’t A Clue” from forty years ago.

‘Allo ‘Allo- comedy gold. In 2006, myself and 3 young sons all drove to the Gold Coast from Victoria. September school holidays over 2 1/2 day drive. The 3 boys sat in the back seat of my dual cab ute watching ‘Allo ‘Allo all the way on one of those portable DVD players. They especially loved the British airman who kept saying ” bummers and farters”.

I remember enjoying this not-quite-comedy show. Lots of laughs.

Actually, I thought MASH was the standout production from the USA. Happily, we have a boxed set of that too.
We don’t do Netflix or Spotify or Amazon.
10
That’s just the stuff that gets produced. Australian humor is actually pretty good at the base level. We grew up on British humour more than American. The Kenny Everett Video Show was a huge part of our off beat appreciation of humour as kids.
We have managed to make a few good comedies. Frontline – a satire of A Current Affair – was excellent. The Games was superb. But i struggle to think of anything else, Crocodile Dundee perhaps, the Paul Hogan show was good. But of course Barry Humphries was probably one of the top comedians of the world. One thing Australians are good at is taking the mickey out of themselves.
But the Aussie larikan is a dying breed, scorned at by inner city cosmopolitan elites.

Swiss Alpine Photovoltaic System Begins to Crumble After Just 2 Years

It would be interesting to check the terms and conditions on the solar panels for operating and safe temperature range. I doubt they are installed according to instruction. Maybe they also require shelter? It is quite surprising that anyone thought they would be suitable for outside installation in the Swiss Alps in winter. That’s why they are called renewables.

Re “No one became aware of the damage until spring had arrived?”
They just assumed that the project was hibernating?
90
There were sound reasons for building the solar farm at this altitude, The panels were installed at an angle to shed snow. What they did not recognise that they had inadvertently built a massive dam so the snow just accumulated rather than shedding to lower ground.
Conceptually there were significant benefits for the installation as noted in the linked article and quoted here:
Solar systems in lowland areas are often under a blanket of fog during the winter months – at higher altitudes there is much less fog and therefore more sunlight. Solar panels also like it cold. The efficiency of solar modules is higher at low temperatures than when it is hot. And finally, the sunlight is reflected by the snow cover, which leads to a higher solar power yield. This is called the albedo effect. In addition, the angle of inclination of the dam is optimal for solar power production in winter.
.So it was an engineering failure rather than a conceptual failure. Maybe the snowfall was higher than average. Few people expect snow fall to be increasing but it is the inevitable consequence of the precession cycle. With a few thousand years, this region will be permanently buried under metres of ice.

“Why There Will Never Be A Zero Emissions Mainly Wind/Solar Electricity System”
https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/09/22/why-there-will-never-be-a-zero-emissions-mainly-windsolar-electricity-system-n3794856
50
From the link:
The author is discounting the diversity fairy. Blackout Bowen is a great supporter of the diversity fairy. He has stated that there is always wind and sunshine somewhere. The modelling for the Finkel enquiry was heavily dependent on the diversity fairy. It based output from wind and solar on averages without any recognition that both can go missing for long periods.
The reason it is not possible is much simpler. It takes more coal to make the net zero hardware than the net zero hardware can save. If the hardware could last more than 200 years, then net zero becomes a possibility. Planned life of 20 years is woefully too short to save any coal.
Reasonable estimate to achieve net zero electricity globally is USD200,000,000,000. That amount will need to be spent every 20 years to replace the hardware. At USD100/t, you could buy 2,000,000,000 of coal. Enough to last 160 years at present rate of consumption. So you get 20 years from the process of converting coal to wind and solar energy collectors or 160 years from the coal that you could have saved by not making the junk.
Understanding obsolescence is an important aspect of any business or even society. You have to be able to identify when a technology is obsolete. When technology is changing rapidly, obsolesce occurs over a short cycle. There is always an overhead in adapting to a new technology and you need to be able to identify if the change is worth it. Will the change provide value?
Take my present car. It is a 15 year old diesel hatchback that does everything I need at very low cost. It has only done 150k kilometres. There is nothing currently available that makes it obsolete. And it is not worn out. Now if my car was breaking down regularly, it would no longer suit my purpose and I would need to find a replacement that may incorporate new technology that would offer me some value. But the dominant value factor of any vehicle for me is reliability. How reliable is it is my first question? I always seek an opinion from the mechanic who has serviced my vehicles over the past 30 years.
Wind and solar in their current form are obsolete technologies and offer no value In most circumstances. They destroy value. Current BEVs are also obsolete. BEVs have niche applications that add value like indoor and outdoor mobility uses. They may have been able to carve a value niche as a town car – much lighter and lower range than what is now being made. Some 4 passenger BEVs are up around 3,000kg. So passenger capacity of 300kg for GVM of 3,000kg. A truly massive amount of resources to move 4 people from place to place.

Below is the sixth of several outstanding opinion pieces about indigenous land claim issues in British Columbia that will be posted without a paywall over the next few weeks.
All are written by Geoffrey S. Moyse, K.C., a retired senior lawyer who served as legal counsel to the Province of B.C., advising six successive governments on aboriginal law matters over more than 30 years.
His writings rebut the current NDP provincial government’s indigenous land ownership and use policies.”

I was somewhat surprised by the reaction of my 5yo granddaughter to a welcome to country ceremony at the start of a recent football match. She was actually cringing and couldn’t watch it. I am not sure why she did this. It could have been a learned reaction from my son or her mother or maybe from something at her school.
The global push for indigenous rights is highly racist.
My father was a young man in the Australia Army during WW2. At 21 he was a sergeant and first mate on a small army motor-sailing vessel taking supplies from as far south as Melbourne up to PNG. A couple of his crew had some aboriginal heritage and he had high praise for the work ethic of the indigenous people of PNG who worked to offload cargo. My father was born in Australia of English descent and defended the land we now call Australia from northern invaders alongside indigenous Papuans and mixed race Australians. He contributed to the effort that kept Australia under the current form of government rather than becoming Japanese territory. My father saw Australia as his country as I do. I believe he would be rightly angered to see “welcome to country” ceremonies as I now am.
Indigenous rights is another cause that the UN is championing. It is motivated by racism. Diversity and inclusion laws simply engender and amplify the undesirable aspects that they are supposed to address.

“Sunday Talks – Mike Rowe Interviews VDH
September 22, 2024 | Sundance | 44 Comments”
“Mike Rowe brought Victor Davis Hanson onto his podcast for an interview to discuss Class Warfare as contrast against the 2024 election stakes. The impetus for the interview was an article written by VDH a few months ago about the shift in the American electorate ”
“Within the discussion, the academically disposed VDH points out empirical data that bolsters his theories and analysis. Rowe is in general agreement as they both discuss the granular consequences. However, there is one fascinating part (prompted below) where VDH accurately identifies conservative economic hero Milton Friedman as one of the early globalist villains.”

BREAKING: Arab-American Democrat Mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan Endorses President Trump
Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, an Arab-American Democrat, has thrown his support behind former President Donald Trump, shaking the political establishment.
Ghalib met with Trump on Tuesday in Flint during a private 20-minute meeting before Trump’s town hall in Flint, Michigan, where the former president reportedly asked for the M@slim mayor’s official endorsement.
“He knew a lot about me before the meeting,” Ghalib said Wednesday in a text message to The Detroit News.
Five days after their meeting, Ghalib officially endorsed Trump in a Sunday Facebook post, where he expressed his clear support.
He wrote:
“Let me be clear, so our expectations are realistic.
President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles.
Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences.
For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Now, let the Caravan begin its journey. This is just the starting point.”

Andrei Illarionov, ex-advisor to V. Putin, now his arch-enemy, one of the most boring pundits on YouTube but very much worth watching, if you got patience.
He spent more than hour this morning tracing Bill Burns involvement into critical European events and he thinks Burns is the person to watch and if Harris wins, the West should expect few more unpleasant developments in 2025.

The story I’m getting is that Ukraine has a four point plan to gain victory and a fifth point for reconstruction.
Strategically they intend to cut off Crimea and hold the people hostage, forcing Putin to sue for peace. Might be over by Xmas.
01
That’s the same stupid plan they had two years ago and it didn’t work the first time.
The Ukrainians are only getting themselves into a worse situation … their last resort is that NATO rush in and do their fighting for them. To some extent this has already happened, but only in small unofficial capacity. In order for this to make a difference it will require open and large scale NATO involvement … which is presumably what they are hiding until after the election.
20
They don’t need NATO, WW3 postponed.

“Might be over by Xmas.”
Quite likely, or soon after. The Kursk foolishness is falling back and the Southern & Eastern fronts are collapsing at a steady rate. The Ukie commanders are pointing out that the replacement meat is old and unenthusiastic, not something they can make soldiers from.
Kiev will sue for peace, but V Putin is already preparing for a wider war with NATO, he knows what to expect as the Yanks plot to push their next patsy up against him.

He even found a whole satellite network down their to assist with finding targets … and he found maps, terrain following radar … the whole box and dice.
Yeah right … no one believes that … of course he has been given access to cruise missiles.

Now you’re just making stuff up.
As I’ve mentioned before, behind the iron curtain Ukraine was the hub for weapons design and manufacture. They have the knowledge and ability to continue manufacturing after the war.
The Palianytsia can bring down the Kurst Bridge.

Zelensky would still like to use the Storm Shadow etc because he has a lot of targets throughout Russia which may require a longer range.
Undoubtedly they are using US satellite images and intel to follow the Iran missiles and blow them up.

I know we love to stick the boots into Chris Bowen regarding climate and energy policy. We presently are loving to criticise Labor and Michelle Rowland for this Mis/Dis bill. But the genesis of this legislation/policy lies with the Liberal National Party and Paul Fletcher. (LNP Communications Minister). Just the same as most of energy policy was formulated by the LNP and the likes of Angus Taylor, when in power. But really, it’s the actual government that wants this policy. So, it’s not the political arm of government, but probably more the public service and bureaucrats.

The Sheeple who supported Dan Andrews (former Victoria, Australia dictator and megalomaniac) and his successor are the huge and growing population of public serpents, retired public serpents, trade unionists esp. CFMEU, a vast army of Leftist lawyers, rent-seekers, “teachers” and the students they indoctrinate, “renewables” investors, the unemployed and unemployable and those that never want to work, Antifa, BLM, Extinction Rebellion, Greens, the uneducated, the stupid and the brainwashed.
After accounting for those, there are very few sound and rational people to oppose Andrews. It’s amazing that only approx. 60% support him.

I heard on the radio this morning that Jacinta Allan, Victoria, Australia ruler, had cut the roads maintenance budget to one third of its previous amount. Unfortunately I can’t find any reference to this online.
70
Makes sense. To pass the time away while I drive, I count the number of breakages in those cable barriers alongside the Western Highway, Victoria. The other day I counted 50 major breakages between Ring Road and Bacchus Marsh, heading west. Some have never been repaired in years. They were always a complete waste of time anyway, I’m sure just an employment racket for CFMEU members. Also, last few years the graffiti on all the major freeways has worsened considerably. They dont even bother to clean or paint over them any more. That’s where the maintenance costs have been “saved”. Meanwhile the city looks like a squatters house. That is, modern day squatters, not the 1800’s pastoralists type.

Was noticing a long stretch East of Yea on the Goulburn Valley Highway looking much the same with sections of broken wire barriers. A few years ago it was a matter of great importance, the highway was slowed to 80kmh while a couple of years of ruminating, a trial, delayed construction (a legless lizard was discovered) and eventually the centre wire barrier was finished and the limit returned to 100kmh. Now it broken in half a dozen places and there appears no urgency to repair it. Apparently all those lives it was going to save were pre 2024 lives and 2024 and onwards lives are not so important.

Good morning,
NSW Labor is considering new rules to curtail landowners’ powers to block the development of onshore wind farms based on potential future houses, in moves that are set to inflame tensions in the regions over the pace and the growth of the renewables transition.
Meanwhile, tech investor Sumit Gautam, who will be among the headline speakers at November’s Sohn Hearts & Minds investment conference, warns there are dangers of getting caught up in the hype drummed up by tech executives and venture capitalists around AI technology
And on the markets, a key inflation number, an RBA meeting on rates and corporate updates from Solomon Lew’s Premier Investments and building materials company Brickworks will be the focus for investors this week.

‘Phantom dwellings’ in crosshairs as NSW looks to propel onshore wind projects
COLIN PACKHAM
NSW Labor is considering new rules to curtail landowners’ powers to block the development of onshore wind farms based on potential future houses, in moves that are set to inflame tensions in the regions over the pace and the growth of the renewables transition.
With projects across the state stymied by rural opposition, the Minns government has told green industry officials eager for more details of its new wind power regime that landowners’ rights are on the table.
Premier Chris Minns is under pressure to accelerate the development of renewable energy, with planning laws shaping up as one of the worst inhibitors.
So-called “phantom dwellings” have been a popular tactic used to oppose developments.
The current rules allow landowners to inform wind developers that they intend to build a dwelling on their property in the future. Residents who live within 8km of a wind turbine in NSW have to be consulted and compensated, and if enough phantom dwellings are mooted then projects can become unviable.
NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully has been working on an update of the renewables guidelines that developers have to comply with, and sources said the rules are close to being finalised.
While the details of the tweaks are unknown, senior officials have quietly assured developers that there will be movement on the phantom dwelling requirements.
50
The keep talking about the “transition to renewables” as if it’s real and will actually happen. There is no end to the gaslighting of the populace, just say a few key phrases and that justifies anything , at least in their minds.

Whoops: Did You Notice This Small Problem With Kamala’s Oprah Zoom Audience?
I wanted to hit upon a couple of things that people were posting on X about the Kamala Oprah debacle and clear up one story that’s floating out there.
There were questions about a teleprompter at the event. However, it appears to have come out only at the end when Oprah was giving her wrap-up remarks and telling people where they could go for more information. The lines on the teleprompter were similar to Oprah’s final lines, according to the transcript, not Kamala’s.
It was bad enough already as we reported with Kamala just delivering up disastrous word salads and not answering basic questions. Again, it seemed like a “vibe” group encounter session about feelings more than about results.
There appear to be duplicates in the Zoom audience, despite the fact that Oprah was talking about this great “grassroots” effort.
Here’s a shot from the ABC News video at 2:00 minutes in. Check the second and third rows from the top. You see in the second row from the top, starting from the left, there are seven people. Those same seven people are then repeated in the third row, starting from the middle.
Click on to enlarge:
Here’s another area in the room with monitors and you can see the same problem at the 40 minutes and 37 seconds mark in the video. Again there are repeats in the third row from the second row.

Somebody commented in The Australian today that the wind turbine blades from the decommissioned Esperance wind facility have just been dumped in the adjacent sandhills. The original Salmon Beach wind facility of six turbines in 1987 lasted only 15 years. The later Ten Mile Lagoon project, started in 1993 and with extra turbines added in 2004, was shut down in 2022.

The USA already has huge dumps of all the material parts of the turbines. They are evidently either unrecyclable or too expensive to recycle. There was a session on Foxtel about it several months ago but I can’t recall the actual program that displayed it.

It is not unplanned obsolescence. It was a serious engineering stuff up. The solar panels are mounted on a dam wall and it appears they did not count on the snow accumulating. They are mounted at 60 degrees to horizontal to shed snow but the snow only sheds if the water remains water. Once it becomes ice, the snow just built up.

The EV Crackup
Electric vehicles have been then next big thing for a long time.
In 1901, the Los Angeles Times wrote that EVs “will quickly and easily take precedence over all other” vehicles.
In 1911, the New York Times described EVs as the “ideal solution.”
In 1915, the Washington Post predicted that “prices on electric cars will continue to drop until they are within reach of the average family.”
Electric vehicles, like “green” energy, are always on the brink of success, but never actually arrive. There are good reasons for that.
The Europeans are a little ahead of us on the Green Disaster Curve, so we should pay attention to their experience.
The London Times headlines: “Plunging electric car sales add to EU manufacturers’ gloom.”
So an industry that exists only because of government subsidies, in desperate trouble, turns for help to…more government subsidies.
70
Coal fired steam made wind energy obsolete. Remains true today. No amount of government largesse can alter that fact. But the subsidies can maintain the illusion for a long time. This highlights the value of democracy. Once the number of realists outnumber the deluded, a new regime gets installed.
60
Saved a photo a few years back of a (1900s?) posse of N.Y. posties on their electric scooters and they were stylish, mean machines… not the explosive toys of today. Devolution?

Currently it would seem the humble hybrid on the grounds of performance may have etched its place in MV history. Only reliability and cost over time will make the final decision.

Reading about The Medieval times I was struck by how similar the Church was to our political system.
A head who was considered infallible and criticism was punished.
Surrounded by those who plotted to replace him.
And a never-ending expansion of The Curia (equivalent to the public service) which needed more money, while devoting their time to important things like how many points were on the Papal seal.
All this in a foreign country.
And crusades against those who disagreed.
60
And both are examples of great institutions meant to improve the lives of the masses, ruined by the ambition, greed and hunger for power possessed by those leading them.

An American Coup?
In a 30-minute interview with Judge Napolitano on September 18, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell and critic of America’s wars, described a recent event in which Pentagon chief Gen. Lloyd Austin told President Biden that, in Wilkerson’s words, “the Pentagon has taken over, essentially, diplomacy as well as any action, militarily speaking, with regard to both theaters of war,” meaning Ukraine and Israel.”

It has been reported in the Weekly Times that the National Farmers Federation chief executive, Tony Mahar, has resigned from the NFF to take up the role of Australia’s chief energy structure commissioner. He will head the AEIC, which is an independent role appointed by the federal government that reports to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, currently Chris Bowen, “to receive and refer complaints from concerned community residents about wind farms, large-scale solar farms, energy storage facilities and new transmission projects, as well as promote best practices for industry government to adopt in regard to the planning and operation of these projects,”. It seems he has rolled over, gone with the flow.
The Weekly Times also tells the story of a western Victorian farming family that has embraced carbon neutral beef and soil carbon. The article tells us the family “…have been in the Coles Carbon Neutral brand from the start. The first step was to work out their carbon footprint numbers – the tonnes of carbon per kilo of beef produced.
Their emissions intensity number is now around 11.2 CO2e/kg/live weight which Nick said was very similar to others supplying the CN brand.
Coles then purchase offset for those emissions/kg beef sold for that brand.”
The family has been working to build up Soil Carbon. The family is quoted as saying ““There’s an opportunity to sell soil carbon to Coles, to inset within the supply chain,” David said. “All these big food companies are crying out to reduce Scope 3 emissions.”
The Weekly Times has also highlighted a massive Queensland farm property for sale. The 44,000ha St Ronans Station in Far North Queensland is for sale with offers over $70M expected. The property grows carbon neutral cotton. A spokesman for St Ronans is quoted as saying the “primary attraction was its suitability for renewable energy projects, from carbon offsets to the installation of a major wind farm, and the potential to grow tree crops processed for Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
“We are currently developing the St Ronans Renewable Energy Hub (SRREH) as a joint venture between Sundown Pastoral Co and the Australian renewable energy developer, PROJECT.e”
Australian agriculture is being bought off with either taxpayers’ money, or built in to the price of food.
Tony Mahar is an intelligent man. They must be paying him an incredible amount to have to deal with the insufferable Chris Bowen and to swallow his tongue as he negotiates the renewables minefield that all sensible farmers loathe.
30
“He will head the AEIC, which is an independent role appointed by the federal government that reports to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, currently Chris Bowen …”
There must be more than one definition of the word ‘independent’.
40
Yes, any independent farmer would let Bowen know how stupid he is and how his dumb ideas will never work!
Should there be any difference in public attitudes towards Bowen and Elbosleazy for their traitorous destruction of Australia and the people supporting Aussies so-called enemies of Palestine, Russia, Iran or North Korea?? Somehow people think politicians are stupid and ignore them, while anyone going against the military point of view gets a much harder hatred.
In the end those two will cause more destruction here than any of those countries listed. The anti-truthful-information censorship would be a good starting point to think about.
20
Wouldn’t the difference be in “telling, rather than being told”?
10
It is very sad that the National Farmers Federation swallowed the cool aid of the Global Warming hoax. Fiona Simpson was an early imbiber of the global warming hoax. Fiona has now been made the President of the World Farmers Organisation. Most sensible farmers don’t go along with the global warming hoax and corruption.
