Donald Trump has thrashed the wind industry to within an inch of its life, soon enough the AI revolution will deliver the fatal blow.
A mixture of Trump’s hatred of the greatest scam in history and the surging demand for the reliable – around-the-clock – electricity needed for a technology that promises to reshape the world as we know it, has revealed chaotically intermittent wind and solar as the utterly pathetic part-time power sources, this site has been smashing since 2013.
As reality bites, safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power is ready to take stage.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
As Sophia Compton reports, Trump’s Energy Secretary, Chris Wright has just spelt out the Department of Energy’s number one priority: investing in the upgrade of existing nuclear plants and building a fleet of new plants, of all shapes and sizes.

Chris Uhlmann unravels one of the greatest lies ever told – attacking the heavy mixture of myth, propaganda and delusion that’s revealed on every calm night, when the combined output of every solar panel and turbine amounts to a big fat zero.

The team from Jo Nova focus on Europe’s great lament – as beleaguered economies like Germany wake up to the inevitable consequences of their 20 year-long obsession with massively subsidised wind and solar.

Any inquisitive soul is well aware of the offshore wind industry’s wholesale whale and dolphin slaughter, but Charles Rotter lifts the lid on yet another brewing environmental calamity, noting that a recent study shows offshore wind turbines are responsible for serious interference with local ocean currents and sea-surface temperatures, with knock on effects for marine life of all kinds.

Tamara Clark reports on, yet another, dust diseases disaster in the making. Where asbestos has been banned in most civilised countries for years, the wind industry is quietly reintroducing it – with new and surprising results.

Whereas the piece above came from the ABC – wind and solar scammers’ taxpayer-funded propaganda wing – this Senate Speech by Senator Tyron Whitten pulls no punches at all.

We round out this week’s roundup with an X post from the Page Research Centre, targeting the witless and shameless No-Energy Minister, Chris Bowen. Bowen is the back-to-back winner of the Pinocchio awards, thanks to his list of ludicrous claims about chaotically delivered wind and solar being the cheapest power source of all. Australians are still waiting for his promised $275 power bill cut – since that lie was told, household power bills have jumped by close to 40%.
Stay tuned, STT will be back next week with more.

Thanks to Chris Uhlmann for bringing the wind drought problem into the mainstream media at last in the national daily The Australian. And thanks to Rupert Murdock for starting The Australian in 1964.
It was a long time coming despite the efforts of Jo Nova who revealed the local wind watchers on her amazing blog and The Energy Realists of Australia who took up the story and circulate 100 journalists (not including Chris) with wind watch reports since 2002.
In 2012 Paul Miskelly published a study of wind droughts in south-eastern Australia in the peer-reviewed literature. He warned that serious disruption of wind power generation could occur whenever high-pressure systems linger over the continent.
Anton Lang worked in parallel, since 2008 he posted some thousands of items on a private blog, documenting all kinds of power generation in Australia using the comprehensive data base maintained by the Market Operator. [Not sure when they made contact, last month the three of us got together in a club at Mittagong, on the road to Canberra from Sydney.]

Paul pointed out that the wind fleet would have to be supported by fast-starting gas turbines that could deliver 100% of demand during severe wind droughts. In other words we will be stuck with a hybrid power system for ever which is inevitably more expensive than the cheap and reliable coal-powered system that served us so well.
What a shame it is that nobody official circles noticed and it is a shame that the BOM never issue wind drought. We could have been spared countless billions of dollars that have been spent to get electricity which is more expensive and less reliable, with catastrophic impacts on forests and farmlands.
What do we have academics and meteorologists for?
