Our ABC reports – Petratherm shelves Paralana geothermal project in outback SA – apparently due to a lack of funds. “The Paralana project had secured $24.5 million as a Renewable Energy Development Program grant but could not raise another $5 million needed.”
Does anybody know why Petratherm could not raise a paltry $5mill to get their seven-megawatt geothermal electricity generator running? PTR ASX reports here.

Carbon tax repeal today but at what cost – what strings attached
A welcome step but this has been such a drama and with so many amendments I think it will be some time before we can weigh the net effect against the remaining web of GreenLeft hangovers – Clean Energy Finance Corporation – Renewable Energy Target – Climate Change Authority – that the Govt wants to abolish or trim back. ABC take and Fairfax.
Is this how the end of the mining boom looks ?
A reader sent this in for posting – how we are often fed a load of utter chaff by the media.

A welter of worries being expressed by worried carbon farming hopefuls
The new Australian Senate is yet to reveal how the votes will divide on this or that issue – yet it looks as if the Carbon Tax will be repealed. Those looking to turn a buck out of carbon farming are making their worries heard, as the ABC reports – Future of Carbon Farming Initiative unclear –
The poor old taxpayer seldom gets a look in.
Best to scrap all these boondoggle schemes – the soils and plant life of our continent already naturally sequester the industrial carbon we produce.
Resurgence of coal fired electricity generation now catches on in Queensland – Australia
In January we reported BBC – Climate change and EU energy challenges – fails to mention “elephant in room” increase in German coal use
The Australian was also on this – Green dream on ice as ‘coal frenzy’ grips Europe and renewables lose their attraction –
Now the ABC is reporting that – Stanwell, one of Queensland’s government-owned electricity companies, will bring a coal-fired generator at its Tarong power station back into service this month, after taking it offline in 2012.

Is Al Gore looking for a high political role post Obama in 2016?
Watching TV news last night at the Shut-Down-Railway Closed-Wheat-Silo Empty-Shops-Town Motel in mid New South Wales it was fascinating to see the confusion in the knee-jerk GreenLeft main-stream-media in Australia as ex USA Vice President Al Gore stood alongside our MP Clive Palmer who was proposing to axe the Carbon Tax. ABC News carries the story – Clive Palmer will help axe carbon tax but courts Al Gore in push for ETS – pointing out the contradiction with Al Gore on an “axe the Carbon Tax” platform. Although Clive Palmer did say he wanted to prevent the Abbott Government from But VigRX generic viagra wholesale Plus is far better than these three rocking pills.

I just hope that PM Tony Abbott is not swayed by any of this hoopla – the Govt should stick to their policies of abolishing the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, the Renewable Energy Target and the Climate Change Authority and should be ready to bring on a double dissolution election in order to bring into law all their policies. If Australian voters choose to vote GreenLabor back in to power and keep the Carbon Tax and all the associated “renewables” expensive electricity boondoggles – so be it.

Australian Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt rolled by cabinet over $500Million rooftop solar scheme
Signs of a surprising conflict within cabinet that took a while to surface – Greg Hunt kept Prime Minister in dark on solar policy – I expected cabinet members to be better tuned in to Govt plans than this.
