Suicidal Tendencies: Australia’s Renewable Energy Target a $60 Billion Business & Job Destroyer

For those, like STT, attempting to expose the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, it sometimes feels like bashing our heads against a brick wall.  However, every now and again, it feels like our masonry masochism has paid off. Last Friday we awoke to see the top story on the front page of … Continue reading Suicidal Tendencies: Australia’s Renewable Energy Target a $60 Billion Business & Job Destroyer

Japanese Pyro Saga: Wind Turbine Explodes in Fireball at Nuclear Power Plant

STT followers might have twigged to our sense of irony which, on the odd occasion, drifts all the way to sarcasm. Sometimes a wry line requires considered imagination. But, other times, this stuff literally writes itself. This saga from Saga in Japan is almost too funny for words. Anti-nuke scaremongers rave on about the purported … Continue reading Japanese Pyro Saga: Wind Turbine Explodes in Fireball at Nuclear Power Plant

Wind Farm Developer Turns Family’s Water Supply to Muddy Sludge

While some might consider turning water into wine a miracle of biblical proportions, for the wind industry turning a muddy sludge into aqua pura, is all in a day's 'work' - and, for these highly skilled conjurers, the kind of feat that barely raises a sweat. But, then again, this is an industry practiced in … Continue reading Wind Farm Developer Turns Family’s Water Supply to Muddy Sludge

‘Green’ Energy’s Double Standards: Real Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar an Inconvenient Truth

Paul Driessen is senior policy analyst for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (www.CFACT.org), and author of Eco-Imperialism: Green power – Black death and other books on the environment. Here's Paul unpacking the myth that wind and solar are both clean and green. Fair trade for thee, but not for me Watts up With That Paul Driessen … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Double Standards: Real Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar an Inconvenient Truth

Wind Turbines Present Mortal Threat to Flyers: Project Canned as Unacceptable Threat to Human Life

  All power generation comes with risk. However, those risks are traded off against the immeasurable societal benefits provided by reliable and affordable electricity. 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 … Continue reading Wind Turbines Present Mortal Threat to Flyers: Project Canned as Unacceptable Threat to Human Life

It’s the Subsidies Stupid: Wind & Solar Go Nowhere Without Bags of Other People’s Money

  Time and time again we’re told that wind and solar power are not only competitive with conventional generators, but they’re practically free, and getting cheaper all the time. That myth in the mouth the protagonists lasts about as long as it takes their antagonists to retort, that if wind and solar power really are … Continue reading It’s the Subsidies Stupid: Wind & Solar Go Nowhere Without Bags of Other People’s Money

Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis: Federal Government’s Renewable Obsession Cripples Country

Australia’s self-inflicted energy crisis is the product of an obsessive ideology, wedded to the nonsensical belief that modern economies can be powered by sunshine and breezes. The Federal Energy and Environment Minister, Josh Frydenberg never ceases to disappoint. His ignorance is only matched by his lack of shame. In the week just gone, Josh put … Continue reading Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis: Federal Government’s Renewable Obsession Cripples Country

No Comparison: Why Wind Power Can Never ‘Compete’ with Conventional Generators

  The well-chewed ‘chestnut, about wind power being cheaper than coal or gas-fired power is a nonsense. For a start, the Operations and Maintenance costs of running wind turbines is in the order of $24 for every MWh dispatched – see our post here and this from our favourite whipping boys, Infigen: The wind might … Continue reading No Comparison: Why Wind Power Can Never ‘Compete’ with Conventional Generators

Wind Industry Uses Fake Numbers to Cover Up Mass Bird & Bat Slaughter

The wind industry will never be accused of transparency or honesty. Every new wind power project is going to power 100,000 homes and suck millions of tons of CO2 gas from the atmosphere [note to Ed, please check what plants will do with less CO2?] and create hundreds of new jobs. Notwithstanding that the occupants … Continue reading Wind Industry Uses Fake Numbers to Cover Up Mass Bird & Bat Slaughter

Dirty Deeds: How the ‘Green’ Energy Cult Stole the English Language
