Misty eyed support for the wholesale slashing and burning of forests in power plants under the guise of ‘green’ energy shows how gullible we’ve become. Mike Moore’s Planet of The Humans went after David Blood and Al Gore, rent seekers who've made $billions by stripping the world’s landscapes and wilderness in order to burn every scrap … Continue reading Burn Baby, Burn: Biomass Power Plants Devouring World’s Forests at Astonishing Rate

Californian Blackout Fury: “It’s Not Just the Heat, It’s Also the Anti-Nuclear Power Stupidity”
California’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle has attracted global attention. Policymakers have led with their chins by promoting chaotically intermittent wind and solar, all the while trashing ever-reliable nuclear power - with perfectly predictable results. With the (not-so) Golden State scrambling for power during a sweltering summer the decision to shutter nuclear plants looks positively criminal. … Continue reading Californian Blackout Fury: “It’s Not Just the Heat, It’s Also the Anti-Nuclear Power Stupidity”
Nuclear’s New Dawn: Small Modular Reactors Offer Ever-Reliable CO2-Free Power
STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable and reliable it’s the perfect foil for those obsessed about carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating power on demand - unlike the unreliables, wind and solar. One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such … Continue reading Nuclear’s New Dawn: Small Modular Reactors Offer Ever-Reliable CO2-Free Power
Grinding Halt: Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Armageddon As Turbine Running Costs Escalate
Thousands of Germany’s wind turbines have reached the end of their economic lives; and replacing them is no simple matter. First, the costs of doing so are colossal. Secondly, the behemoths that might replace their ancestors are so large as to exceed the height limits placed on turbines by Germany’s planning rules. Pierre Gosselin can … Continue reading Grinding Halt: Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Armageddon As Turbine Running Costs Escalate
Dark Days & Darker Nights: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Thousands Without Power
Having deliberately sidelined its reliable gas and nuclear plants, California is now stuck with sunshine and breezes. The results are as predictable as they were avoidable. Wind and solar obsessed policymakers have been begging the Feds to throw California a lifeline. The Department of Energy has responded to the Californian government’s desperate pleas by declaring … Continue reading Dark Days & Darker Nights: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Thousands Without Power
Sweeping Blackouts Mean California’s ‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Just Got Real
California’s sweeping blackouts are a fair indication of what happens when sound engineering gets trumped by woolly-headed ideology. An obsession with intermittent wind and solar has left millions of Californians sweltering in the dark this summer. With the blackout that struck in mid-August, officials blamed the “unexpected loss of a 470-megawatt power plant Saturday evening, … Continue reading Sweeping Blackouts Mean California’s ‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Just Got Real
How Green Is This?: Millions of Toxic Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfill
The millions of solar panels being dumped in landfills are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. Then there’s the landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic … Continue reading How Green Is This?: Millions of Toxic Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfill
What’s Chaos?: It’s When the Weather Determines Whether You’ll Get Power Or Not
STT often wonders which part of ‘calm weather’ wind power acolytes are still having trouble with? Over the last few months, the output from Australia’s wind power fleet has not only been erratic, it’s been utterly pathetic. Any other enterprise that delivered its goods on such a haphazard, sporadic and chaotic basis would be laughed … Continue reading What’s Chaos?: It’s When the Weather Determines Whether You’ll Get Power Or Not
Getting Serious About Serious Power Generation: China Leads Global Nuclear Power Push
Any student of economics wondering how important reliable and affordable electricity is to economic growth and industrialisation, need only look at China. The CCP may not be the flavour of the month at the moment, but its role in China’s economic success can’t be dismissed so readily. In less than 25 years, China has dragged … Continue reading Getting Serious About Serious Power Generation: China Leads Global Nuclear Power Push
Into The Black: Wind & Solar Chaos Promise Return To A New (Very) Dark Age
Californians & South Australians know the drill: when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, be sure to have flashlights and diesel generators at the ready. The first few minutes of a mass blackout can be kind of exhilarating; the candles come out, adding romance to the evening Uber Eats dining experience and, with … Continue reading Into The Black: Wind & Solar Chaos Promise Return To A New (Very) Dark Age
