Give a sentient being a few moments of uninterrupted consideration and they’ll soon work out why wind power can never work. Start with the weather. No one plans a weekend kite flying expedition a month in advance. And circumnavigating sailors know not to announce their arrival date at the time of departure, for much the … Continue reading Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro

Flat Broke & Busted: German Wind Turbine Maker Senvion’s Spectacular Financial Collapse
Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat. The business model (read 'colossal government mandated scam') has all the hallmarks of an enormous Ponzi scheme - the wind industry's demise is a matter of when, not if. The withdrawal of subsidies across Europe has taken its toll, as the number of … Continue reading Flat Broke & Busted: German Wind Turbine Maker Senvion’s Spectacular Financial Collapse
Insidious Infrasound: Governments Blind to Residents Suffering From Wind Industry Torture
If there’s one thing worse than the wind industry lying about the effects of incessant wind turbine noise and infrasound, it’s governments helping them do so. Over the last decade, the wind industry has ridden roughshod over the rights of law-abiding citizens to live peacefully in their very own homes. The battle that’s followed proves … Continue reading Insidious Infrasound: Governments Blind to Residents Suffering From Wind Industry Torture
Bug’s Life: Bees & Other Flying Critters Being Wiped Out By Wind Turbines
Giant industrial wind turbines mean an ignominious slaughter for almost anything on the wing. 50-80m blades, with their tips travelling at over 300 km/h, readily slice and dice birds and bats in their millions every year. Then there’s a smorgasbord of smaller flying critters, like bees, wasps, dragonflies and other environmentally and agriculturally beneficial insects … Continue reading Bug’s Life: Bees & Other Flying Critters Being Wiped Out By Wind Turbines
Real Suffering: No One Should Suffer The Noise That Wind Farm Neighbours Put Up With
Unless you’re living with it, you’ll have no idea what it’s like to suffer incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. A trail of abandoned homes wherever these things operate is testament to the fact that the noise is insufferable. The usual retort from RE zealots is that only jealous neighbours complain. Tell that … Continue reading Real Suffering: No One Should Suffer The Noise That Wind Farm Neighbours Put Up With
All Black Future: Intermittent Renewables Chaos Means Longer Blackouts, Much More Often
Pinning your power hopes on the weather requires more than just a leap of faith, it requires candles, torches and a sturdy backup generator. The hapless denizens of South Australia (Australia’s wind and solar capital) are now world-renowned for their (enforced) self-reliance and stoicism. In wind and solar obsessed Australia, couple a spike in demand … Continue reading All Black Future: Intermittent Renewables Chaos Means Longer Blackouts, Much More Often
Government Surrenders: PM Hoists White Flag on Australia’s Self-inflicted Renewable Energy Crisis
With Labor threatening a 50% RET and a giant carbon tax, Australian industry is ready to pack up stumps and leave. But, instead of fighting for those industries, businesses and the jobs they create, the Liberal/National Coalition has thrown in the towel. STT had high hopes for the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor when he … Continue reading Government Surrenders: PM Hoists White Flag on Australia’s Self-inflicted Renewable Energy Crisis
Captain Chaos: Intermittent Wind & Solar Destroying Australia’s Eastern Power Grid
‘System’ and ‘reliability’ were once synonymous with Australia’s power grid. Not so, anymore, thanks to chaotically intermittent wind and solar. In another “don’t say we told you so” moment, the lunatics that have taken charge of the Australian Energy Market Commission have been forced to concede that the so-called ‘transition’ to an all wind … Continue reading Captain Chaos: Intermittent Wind & Solar Destroying Australia’s Eastern Power Grid
Litigation Breakout: Victorian Wind Farm Neighbours Pursuing $Millions from Wind Developers for Noise Nuisance
Driven mad by incessant, grinding, thumping wind turbine noise a group of Victorian farmers lawyered up and went on the offensive: they’re now counted as heroes and victors. For years, they’ve battled their local Council - the body responsible under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act to prosecute noise nuisance complaints. Their lawyer, Dominica … Continue reading Litigation Breakout: Victorian Wind Farm Neighbours Pursuing $Millions from Wind Developers for Noise Nuisance
Australia’s Great Shame: Renewable Energy Obsession Leaves Thousands of Australians Powerless
Australia’s maniacal obsession with attempting to power itself on sunshine and breezes has led to ‘The Great Shame’: a 140% increase in the number of homes disconnected from the grid, no longer able to afford power prices rocketing, year-on year, at 16 to 20%, leaving 25% of households unable to cool their homes in … Continue reading Australia’s Great Shame: Renewable Energy Obsession Leaves Thousands of Australians Powerless
