Renewable freeze in Australia — investors have only put the money down on 6% of wind projectsBy Jo NovaThe Command Economy Fails Again…Only 6% of government backed wind farms have made it to a committed financial sign off. There’s another nearly 13 gigawatts sitting there on the sidelines “in the pipeline” waiting for a cash downpour or a physics miracle. “Once the backbone of Australia’s energy transition, onshore wind is now being squeezed from every direction,” Mr Farruggio said. Mr Bowen’s *big hope* now is that AI data centres will still want to build something in Australia with our high electricity prices, while being forced to build wind and solar projects as a penance for the “right to do business here”. If only wind and solar power were cheap, like they told us every day for the last 7,000 days, it might have worked.
