There are plenty of examples of the mass media using hyperbole to whip up hysteria, but the unjustified fear of nuclear radiation is a stand out. Sure, we’ve been cajoled and berated into a fear-filled frenzy about a Chinese virus. But that’s likely to pass as quickly as humans develop their natural immunity to any … Continue reading Reason Removed: Remaining Opposition to Nuclear Power Product of Fake News Fear Mongers

Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
Tasmania’s recent announcement that it is being powered 100% of the time by renewable energy is so much fake news. Tasmania does, indeed, have enviable hydropower resources, which Tasmania can fairly claim to be a “renewable energy source”. However, Tasmania suffers severe droughts - just like every other part of Australia. And, when it … Continue reading Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
War of The Walds: Germany’s Forests Overrun With Wind Turbines in Dystopian ‘Green’ Nightmare
Germany’s landscape has been carpeted with more than 30,000 gigantic industrial wind turbines: the result is a dystopian nightmare, reminiscent of HG Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Except that the battle is being waged in towns and villages and most visibly in the German walds - with whole forests being clear-felled to make way … Continue reading War of The Walds: Germany’s Forests Overrun With Wind Turbines in Dystopian ‘Green’ Nightmare

Wind and solar don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they’re powered by massive and endless subsidies. Remove the subsidies and both so-called ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat. The perpetual claims about wind and solar competing with dispatchable generation sources, such as coal, gas and nuclear, ring hollow when talk turns to reducing the … Continue reading Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Starry-Eyed Dreams v Economic Reality: Why The Wind Industry’s Numbers Can Never Stack Up
Take away the massive subsidies, guaranteed fixed price contracts, soft loans, mandated targets, etc and the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat. Those matters, all the product of meddling governments, are the only reason we are having this discussion, at all. After 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies - redirected … Continue reading Starry-Eyed Dreams v Economic Reality: Why The Wind Industry’s Numbers Can Never Stack Up
Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
After 30 years of operation, enterprises that would collapse overnight without massive subsidies ain’t “industries” - which is what wind and large-scale solar outfits spuriously claim to be. And when RE rent seekers talk about their “sustainable” business model, that’s just code for ensuring that those massive subsidies outlast religion. Following that theme, Robert Bradley … Continue reading Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
Peak Stupid: Bizarre Plan to Carpet Australian Desert With Thousands of Wind Turbines & Solar Panels
In more proof that 2020 was the year that we reached ‘peak stupid’, renewable energy rent seekers have topped them all with a plan to convert chaotically intermittent wind and solar into hydrogen, then to convert that into ammonia for shipping, and then back into hydrogen for use in a market that doesn’t exist. You … Continue reading Peak Stupid: Bizarre Plan to Carpet Australian Desert With Thousands of Wind Turbines & Solar Panels
Renewables Can’t Save the Planet, So Why Let Wind & Solar Industries Keep Destroying It?
A moment’s employment of our critical faculties reveals just why wind and solar will never be meaningful power sources. STT is dedicated to explaining why. But, for the uninitiated, we’ll simply mention sunset and calm weather as the most obvious starting points. Explaining how readily the naïve and gullible have been taken in by … Continue reading Renewables Can’t Save the Planet, So Why Let Wind & Solar Industries Keep Destroying It?
Beyond Redemption: Germany’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers Energy Debacle
You know RE scammers are on the ropes, when they start talking about non-existent grid-scale batteries, pumped hydro and, the latest lunacy, converting chaotically intermittent wind and solar into hydrogen gas. In the beginning, when the quizzical pressed them about the inherent unreliability of wind and solar, it was brushed off with glib statements such … Continue reading Beyond Redemption: Germany’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers Energy Debacle
New World Disorder: Climate Cult Bully Boys Holding Australian Business to Ransom
Apparently, worshipping wind turbines and solar panels isn’t enough for the climate cult, which increasingly asserts its perverse influence in all manner of commercial dealings. Berating banks on where their funds should be directed - heaven forbid any financier considers ever bankrolling mining, especially coal, oil or gas; and naming and shaming any enterprise that … Continue reading New World Disorder: Climate Cult Bully Boys Holding Australian Business to Ransom
