**** Nuclear power is the only stand-alone thermal power source that is base-load, which does not emit CO2 emissions, while providing what we all justifiably crave: power on demand. It’s true that geothermal falls into the same category, but away from volcanic zones (think New Zealand and Iceland) depends on accessing “hot-rocks” deep underground – … Continue reading Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead

STT for one thinks the wind industry has had … Continue reading The Fantasy of Storing Wind Power: No Commercial System Exists & None is Likely
Wind Power Costs Crushing South Australian Businesses: Firms Hit with 90% Price Hike
**** South Australia embarked upon its wind power 'experiment' more than 15 years ago, when its Labor government climbed into bed with the boys from Babcock & Brown (aka Infigen) and a disgraced American lawyer and convicted con-man, Tim Flato (who robbed his clients of close to US$400,000, got struck-off, and scuttled off to set … Continue reading Wind Power Costs Crushing South Australian Businesses: Firms Hit with 90% Price Hike

Britain’s Wind Power Debacle: Wind Power Outfits Paid £200 Million a Year for Producing NO Power at All
**** Pinning its hopes to a wholly weather dependent power source - that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional generation sources - Britain's energy 'policy' was never going to end well. Already faced with an unstable grid and rocketing power prices thanks to its gamble on … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power Debacle: Wind Power Outfits Paid £200 Million a Year for Producing NO Power at All

MIT Study Shows Wind Power Can NEVER Compete with Conventional Sources
In their sillier moments, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers pitch the line that their pointless product is not only getting cheaper all the time, but go so far as to claim that wind power is already cheaper than gas and coal-fired power. Risible PR antics aside, the wind industry has always had a … Continue reading MIT Study Shows Wind Power Can NEVER Compete with Conventional Sources
