Burning Cash: Renewable Energy Slush Fund Wasting $Billions of Taxpayers’ Money

If massive subsidies tacked onto your power bill and directed to wind and solar generators wasn’t enough, there’s a government backed slush fund channelling hundreds of $millions into the wind and solar scam, as well.
In Australia the Clean Energy Finance Corporation is a Federal government backed outfit that has been doling out soft money to large-scale solar and wind projects that otherwise struggle to raise the capital needed to get off the ground.
But most operations run by bureaucrats, the CEFC is long on spin and waffle and short on hard numbers and accountability.

Dutch court gets climate science wrong

A recent Dutch Court decision is getting international attention because it commands climate action.
The case itself is like angels on a pinhead, so of little interest, says David Wojick @ CFACT.
Shell Oil proposed to cut CO2 emissions by 40% and the Court made it 45%, both targets being stupid. The real concern is the precedent of Courts making climate policy, so this decision is worth looking at.
Turns out the Court’s version of the science is amazingly bad.
