Life in the “throw zone”

On one level, the images depicted in this video will provide many STT readers with a deep sense of satisfaction, tinged with joy, and bound with glee; or even what the Germans call "schadenfreude": the malicious glee that comes from witnessing another's downfall. **** **** On another level, for those poor souls stuck with these … Continue reading Life in the “throw zone”

Germans launch blitzkrieg on turbines

STT readers might think of Germany as the land where large men in leather shorts drink beer all day from steins the size of Belgium, but it's not just a land where slops and sausage reign supreme. The German Mittelstand - its thousands of small to medium sized firms - builds stuff that works and … Continue reading Germans launch blitzkrieg on turbines

Ron “The Boss” Boswell lays it down and says “fair go”

STT says that if common sense was apple pie it's clear that Senator Ron Boswell has had a double helping. Short in supply in this debate and, thanks to the infectious disease that is "greentard ideology", rarely reported, here is the mighty Queenslander dishing out common sense with knobs on. Ron also lays it on … Continue reading Ron “The Boss” Boswell lays it down and says “fair go”

No Blacker day for the Greens

Former MP and current adviser to the SA Labor Government, Peter Blacker gets a big vote from STT for talking sense yesterday about the negative impact on prime agricultural land from wind turbines. Here's the report on Blacker's "Green heresy", courtesy of Channel 7 News. On some planets he would be given the Award for … Continue reading No Blacker day for the Greens

Tony Abbott called on to scrap the REC & chase the REC fraud

STT champion and pin-up girl, Annie Gardner says it louder and better than most, so we say: “hats off”. At a meeting in Hamilton last week, Annie gave Tony Abbott a “heads-up” on the REC fraud going on at Waubra (which we’ll cover in another post soon). But never one to rest, here’s what Annie … Continue reading Tony Abbott called on to scrap the REC & chase the REC fraud

The RET & the REC: the anatomy of a National fraud

A little while ago one of our readers posted a comment including what would appear to be a fairly simple question, The Callous Wind wrote: I have a request for STT. Would you be able to please explain to us mere mortals, how the REC’s do actually work? There seems to be a lot of … Continue reading The RET & the REC: the anatomy of a National fraud

Well, bugger me, another piece of industry “spin” unravels

STT has enough material under the heading "wind industry lies" to fill a 12 Volume encyclopedia we plan to call "A Million-and-One Things Wind Farm Developers & Their Goons said."  Entries include howlers like: "turbines make the same noise as a fridge at 500m". The gullible can test that whopper by dropping an old Kelvinator … Continue reading Well, bugger me, another piece of industry “spin” unravels

Ewbank made to U-turn

One of STT's favourite "greentard" bloggers, and the wind farm developers' most ardent apologist, got short shrift on King Island last week at the meeting where locals gathered to hear some of the facts, instead of the spin usually delivered by Ewbank and his Overlords. You'll remember the way the CERES Stormtroopers treated the Yorke … Continue reading Ewbank made to U-turn
