A deluded band of eco-Nazis keep telling us that rocketing power prices and unstable grids are just minor ‘teething problems’ on our way to an inevitable ‘transition’ to a brave new world run entirely on sunshine and breezes. The trouble is that with every turn of this Blue Planet the inevitable consequences of their obsession … Continue reading ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit: 328,000 Families Chopped from Grid

Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
The cost of accommodating the chaos delivered by wind power is utterly staggering. And provides half the explanation as to why South Australia, Australia’s 'wind power capital' and the world's 'renewables leader', pays the highest retail power prices in the world. The massive subsidies included in the cost paid by retailers for wind power, provides … Continue reading Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
In their more deluded moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would shrivel up and die, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could easily provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come - and do so absolutely free. Meanwhile, back on Earth, even on their best days, the contribution … Continue reading Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind 'industry' would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply … Continue reading Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
Pointless & Pathetic: South Australia’s Wind Power Output Repeatedly Plummets During Summer Heatwave (Again)
Where coal, gas, hydro and nuclear just deliver, wind power delivers nothing but chaos. If you’re looking for support for that truism, look no further than Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia. It’s Premier, Jay Weatherill and his Energy Minister, Tom Koutsantonis are as deluded as they are dangerous, which means things will get a … Continue reading Pointless & Pathetic: South Australia’s Wind Power Output Repeatedly Plummets During Summer Heatwave (Again)
Germany’s Wind & Solar Power FAIL: Top Economist Declares Energiewende “Delusional”
Wherever in the world governments have shackled their energy policies to nature’s ‘wonder fuels’, the sun and wind, it doesn’t take long for their constituents to enter a state of mortified panic as they recognise that their economic futures have been sacrificed to an obsessive cult-like ideology. Because so much money was in the offing … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Power FAIL: Top Economist Declares Energiewende “Delusional”
Community Backlash Against Big Wind: Massachusetts Residents’ Unanimous Vote Blocks Future Wind Projects
Remember all the guff about rural communities falling over themselves to get into bed with big wind? No? STT has forgotten those well-polished propaganda pieces, too. Watching reasonable people turn against wind power with a vengeance is one of life’s inevitable events - like herds of hungry Wildebeests prowling the Serengeti in search of … Continue reading Community Backlash Against Big Wind: Massachusetts Residents’ Unanimous Vote Blocks Future Wind Projects
Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished
Back in November 2013, we reported on the orders made by a Court in Falmouth, Massachusetts that pulled to a halt the operation of a couple of Vestas V82s that have been driving townspeople nuts, since they kicked into gear almost 7 years ago (see our post here). We’ve also reported on Barry Funfar, a former … Continue reading Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished
Slow Burn: Australia’s Renewable Energy Fiasco Causes Continued Economic Destruction – No End In Sight
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Following the various angles pitched up by the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers is like playing chess with a madman: it’s exciting, but you have absolutely no idea what move he’ll come up with next. Notwithstanding that Australia’s renewable energy wonderland, South Australia continues to … Continue reading Slow Burn: Australia’s Renewable Energy Fiasco Causes Continued Economic Destruction – No End In Sight
South Australia’s All Renewables Push Renders Wind Power Capital International Laughing Stock
Thanks to its hapless Labor government’s obsession with sunbeams and breezes (and non-existent Liberal opposition - who continue to act like dazed members of the same cult) South Australians have grown accustomed to being the punchline in an ongoing international joke. Routine load shedding and statewide blackouts - notwithstanding the fact that they pay the … Continue reading South Australia’s All Renewables Push Renders Wind Power Capital International Laughing Stock
