Death and taxes are certainties, then there’s the certainty of rent-seeker outrage when subsidies to wind and solar are cut or even threatened. The wind back in subsidies across Europe has all but destroyed the wind industry: in Germany this year a trifling 60 onshore wind turbines have been erected, so far. Twelve countries … Continue reading Rent-Seeker Rage: Wind & Solar Lobbies Outraged as Energy Minister Signals Sundown for Subsidies

Turbine Torment: Study Proves Thumping Wind Farm Noise Annoying Neighbours 9 KM Away
Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency noise for those forced to live with it. Anyone claiming that it’s not a miserable daily torment, hasn’t lived with it, or they’re on the wind industry payroll. One tired old retort is that the farmers who get paid to host turbines, never … Continue reading Turbine Torment: Study Proves Thumping Wind Farm Noise Annoying Neighbours 9 KM Away
Renewable Energy Rejection: Australia’s Election Result Demonstrates Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power
The “shock” Federal election result represents a new dawn for reliable and affordable power generation in Australia. The 2019 election was billed as a referendum on Climate Change, with Labor’s Bill Shorten pitching up a 50% Renewable Energy Target and a whopping carbon dioxide gas tax, to boot. Bill also promised that he would eradicate … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rejection: Australia’s Election Result Demonstrates Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power
Germany Wind Industry Expansion Thwarted: Rural Revolt Preventing Construction of New Wind Power Projects
In rural Germany, a rural revolt against wind power was inevitable. Close to 30,000 of these things have been speared across Deutschland, often within a stone’s throw of homes, towns and villages. Driven mad by practically incessant low-frequency noise and infrasound, watching whole forests clear-felled to make way for 300 tonne, 200m high turbines … Continue reading Germany Wind Industry Expansion Thwarted: Rural Revolt Preventing Construction of New Wind Power Projects
Pilots Flying United: Court Rejects Wind Power Project as Just ‘Plane’ Stupid
All power generation comes with risk, which get traded off against the enormous societal benefits, when it's reliable and affordable. Where the power source is wholly weather dependent – and the industry that profits from it wholly dependent upon massive and endless subsidies and, therefore, wholly unsustainable – there is nothing to trade off … Continue reading Pilots Flying United: Court Rejects Wind Power Project as Just ‘Plane’ Stupid
Wind Power’s Perfect Standstill: Total Collapse in New Construction Leaves German Wind Industry Suicidal
Germany was once a world beater when it came to erecting heavily subsidised wind turbines. Not anymore. So far this year, the German wind industry has managed to construct a mere 60 new onshore wind turbines across the entire country. Needless to say, Germany’s RE rent-seekers are crying ‘catastrophe’ and being advised to contact their … Continue reading Wind Power’s Perfect Standstill: Total Collapse in New Construction Leaves German Wind Industry Suicidal
Renewables ‘Transition’: UK Solar Industry Doomed as Subsidies Slashed – Panel Sales Plummet by 94%
Wasn't it only yesterday we were told that wind and solar are so cheap that our RE ‘transition’ was inevitable? Well, that was then, this is now. Proving the point, we make almost every day - namely that there wouldn’t be wind turbines or solar panels, on any serious scale, anywhere in the world, in … Continue reading Renewables ‘Transition’: UK Solar Industry Doomed as Subsidies Slashed – Panel Sales Plummet by 94%
Renewables ‘Transition’ Terminated: With Their Subsidies Slashed, the Honeymoon for Wind & Solar is Over
Like a bride jilted at the altar, the wind and solar ‘industries’ are moaning about what could have been. Plenty of RE zealots managed to convince themselves that these so-called ‘industries’ were actually sustainable; that the subsidies that created them would ultimately prove unnecessary, or if not, taxpayers and power consumers would merrily pay … Continue reading Renewables ‘Transition’ Terminated: With Their Subsidies Slashed, the Honeymoon for Wind & Solar is Over
For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
There’s no rational explanation as to why Australia exports uranium to the world, but bans its use for power generation on home soil. Cognitive dissonance, might do it. Although STT thinks it’s because Australia’s run by infants and intellectual pygmies. And then there are the just plain gutless, who are too timid to even … Continue reading For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
Wind Industry Free-Fall: Subsidy Cuts Slashes Wind Power Investment & ‘Green’ Jobs
Cut subsidies to wind and solar and their ‘industries’ disappear in a heartbeat. Across Europe the subsidies have been slashed and so too has wind power investment and thousands of groovy ‘green’ jobs. Twelve countries in the European Union (EU) failed to install “a single wind turbine” last year. And, as a result, the manufacturers … Continue reading Wind Industry Free-Fall: Subsidy Cuts Slashes Wind Power Investment & ‘Green’ Jobs
