Australia’s renewable energy policy reads more like a suicide note than an energy roadmap. In a couple of months - as temperatures rise and, so too, the demand for electricity to power millions of air conditioners - the power rationing will begin in earnest (again) and the daily spot price for electricity will go through … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
A maniacal reliance on chaotically intermittent wind and solar poses an existential threat to Australia’s power grid. And Australia's power problems have absolutely nothing to do with the grid itself. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to the Eastern Grid during July. Spread from Far North … Continue reading Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
Sunshine’s Free: But Solar Power’s More Than Double the Cost of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear
Sure, sunshine may be free, but solar power is the most expensive stuff around. And, of course, when the sky clouds up or the sun sets, solar power simply can’t be bought at any price. Assume, for the moment, the wind always blew and the sun always shone, then wind and solar power just might … Continue reading Sunshine’s Free: But Solar Power’s More Than Double the Cost of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear
No More Waste: Time To End Obsession With Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power
The arguments against wind power are myriad, but the simplest and most obvious is that it simply doesn’t work: never has; never will. Keen to avoid the power pricing and supply calamity that’s beset wind and solar obsessed California – the Benton Public Utility District has come out swinging, declaring that there is no place … Continue reading No More Waste: Time To End Obsession With Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power
America’s Rural Communities Go On The Offensive Against Big Wind’s Turbine Onslaught
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200m high monsters. In Germany, locals expressed their opposition in no uncertain terms - voting 25 to 1 against a giant wind project proposed for their patch of paradise: Renewables ‘Transition’ Hits Roadblock: Germans Vote … Continue reading America’s Rural Communities Go On The Offensive Against Big Wind’s Turbine Onslaught
New Green Deal Turns Sour: Counting Colossal Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
The true environmental and social cost of intermittent wind and solar is simply staggering. Millions of solar panels are already being dumped in landfill, and millions of nonrecyclable wind turbine blades are joining them; altogether creating a toxic legacy the generation who blindly championed so-called ‘green’ energy. A few posts back we carried a … Continue reading New Green Deal Turns Sour: Counting Colossal Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
Carcass Count Mounts: Wind Industry Callously Slaughtering Millions of Birds & Bats
The level of cynicism and hypocrisy among wind power advocates is breathtaking. The wind industry is slaughtering millions of birds and bats every year and yet there’s barely a peep from those who continue to berate us about ‘saving the planet’. Clear-felling swathes of forest and destroying natural habitats across the globe to make way … Continue reading Carcass Count Mounts: Wind Industry Callously Slaughtering Millions of Birds & Bats
Real Power, Real Jobs: Unions Demand Nuclear Power and End to Offshore Wind
Among the myriad of myths propounded by the wind industry sits the promise of millions of groovy 'green' jobs purportedly on offer. In this post STT covered a very detailed study from Wisconsin on the effect of rising power prices (caused by massive subsidies diverted to wind and solar) has on real jobs. Based on actual … Continue reading Real Power, Real Jobs: Unions Demand Nuclear Power and End to Offshore Wind
New Green Deal’s Punishing Price: Ditching Fossil Fuels Would Cost Americans $29 Trillion
Green New Deal Democrats claim that America will soon be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes and, thereafter, never use fossil fuels, again. Part of the premise involves creating an all-electric society, where every household or business is exclusively powered by electricity. The idea has been around for some time, but it appears renewable … Continue reading New Green Deal’s Punishing Price: Ditching Fossil Fuels Would Cost Americans $29 Trillion
Enough Already: Time To Declare America’s Pacific North-West Wind Turbine Free
American hostility towards these things is world-renowned, now those from the picturesque Pacific North-West have cried ‘enough already’. Blessed with enviable hydropower resources, Washington State is not the first in the Union to take a set against industrial wind power, and it won’t be the last. Keen to avoid the power pricing and supply calamity … Continue reading Enough Already: Time To Declare America’s Pacific North-West Wind Turbine Free
