Another green dream bites the dust : Comments

By John Mikkelsen, published 7/2/2025

When Queen front man Freddie Mercury belted out the chorus to Another One Bites the Dust back in 1980, he would never have imagined those lyrics could have been a wake up call for today's green dream believers.

“I'm a bit stunned by the speed at which the green dominoes are falling ….”.

But the politicians are not stunned; they just keep ignoring the bleeding obvious: the lunatic Bowen mainly, but all politicians, including Mr. Nuclear, whose party started all the Net Zero/carbon dioxide nonsense. The few politicians with any realistic attitude to the scams, nobody wants to vote for.

In my state of South Australia, where the political class is so proud to be number one in in renewable suicide - although we have to get power from Victoria every night - the ex-taxi driver now energy minister - has had to plead for permission to ready two diesel generators (yes such things still exist: one in quaintly-named Snuggery, and one in Port Lincoln) because he is having the trots about wind and solar over Summer.

Permission to hover over the diesel plants in case the connection from Victoria falls over as it has done in the past, has been granted temporarily until the end of March.

It seems that nothing, not even the looming election will wake up the ‘stunned mullets’ who are ruining Australia and getting paid for it.

Leading stunned mullet Bowen tells us to 'look around at all the electric cars'. The mainstream media continues lying about "increases" in EV sales.

The truth is that EVs make up only 4.4% of the market, and people who say they would consider buying one has fallen from 75% to 60%.

First up, Politicians are definitely not free thinkers as Donald Trump is for example, they are a managerial class. They are Mommy’s boys trained to follow orders. Awful and obsequious!

If you vote, you follow those types, don’t vote, give up the habit, rescue your self respect!

The Government fooling scientists presented a picture of a clean green future & the silly bureaudroids fell for it & the opportunistic corrupt bureaucrats exploited it to the fullest ! When they got the idea that dumbing-down the masses by handing out Uni Degrees their support base was guaranteed for decades. Fortunately, the fractures are appearing now & the parasites are starting to tremble !

The government and public servants almost universally have no technical
understanding and just cannot have a "feel" for what is proposed to them.
Everything just exists on paper planning.
Interestingly uni graduates are usually pretty dumb on the shop floor.
I read that the solar panel installs are well under 22,000 a day.
As I said here when I first heard of it that no one in bureaucracy
just reached for a hand calculator and worked out what it really meant
on a daily basis. I recconed 44 semitrailers a day between the coast and the bush 365 days a year !
That is what I meant by "feel" for the job.

It is for reasons like that is why Bowen's renewables are a nightmare.

Give us an example how you think society can function without some form of Government, even incompetent ones ?
