While Western elites obsess about carbon dioxide gas, the rest of the world is screaming out for affordable energy. Ignoring those perfectly rational pleas, a cabal of pontificating windbags are hellbent on preventing any real development in the poorest parts of the planet - Africa included. Their weapon of choice is forcing chaotically intermittent and … Continue reading Africa Embraces Energy Freedom By Rejecting Net-Zero CO2 Madness

Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants
‘Green’ energy ideologues are terrified of mass blackouts; the moment when the proles work out the wind and solar transition is a monstrous lie. In Germany, the worship of intermittent wind and solar has all the hallmarks of a deranged cult. However, as with most cults, it’s a zealous few that end up driving a … Continue reading Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants
Cost of Fixing Faulty Undersea Cables Makes Offshore Wind Even More (Insanely) Expensive
Who would have thought that trying to operate sophisticated machinery in hostile marine environments would require constant, costly repairs and maintenance? Apparently, the wind industry missed that memo, and only now are starting to calculate the true, and truly staggering, cost of operating wind turbines miles offshore. Then there’s the cost of connecting them; criss-crossing … Continue reading Cost of Fixing Faulty Undersea Cables Makes Offshore Wind Even More (Insanely) Expensive
Wind Industry’s Latest Victims: How Much ‘Green’ Hypocrisy Can a Koala Bear?
By trashing Australia’s pristine forests, the wind industry is wiping out critical habitat for the iconic koala. And the political cult that supports it, couldn’t care less. In a recent post, STT covered the work of Dominic Legoe, who is now part of a growing chorus of outrage about the way the Queensland and Federal … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Latest Victims: How Much ‘Green’ Hypocrisy Can a Koala Bear?
Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects
The laws of economics don’t discriminate: where the costs of any venture outweigh its benefits, investors stay at home. Originally lured with the meme about wind power being free, and getting cheaper all the time, plenty of hopefuls poured cash into wind power outfits like NextEra, Avangrid and turbine manufacturers like Siemens. Lately, however, the … Continue reading Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects
Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
The wind and solar industry’s sales pitch has been exemplary, but their product delivery and after-sales service is pure rubbish. Incapable of delivering electricity on demand, wind and solar will never amount to anything other than an effort in pointless vanity signalling. It’s late 2023, and the wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment … Continue reading Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
A little over 20 years ago, Australia plugged in to the wind and solar transition with the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target. As they say, ‘sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind’. Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supplies are long gone, replaced by heavily subsidised, intermittent and costly wind and solar, backed up by … Continue reading Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
Transition to Poverty: If Wind and Solar Get Any Cheaper, We’ll All Go Broke
The grand wind and solar 'transition' guarantees households and businesses get to suffer crushing power bills. Or, in cases where the massive subsidies to wind and solar power outfits are collected from taxpayers, rather than from power consumers through their power bills, those bills may be cheaper as a result. But the buck still stops … Continue reading Transition to Poverty: If Wind and Solar Get Any Cheaper, We’ll All Go Broke
Diesel-Driven: Electric Car Charging Stations Powered by Giant Banks of Diesel Generators
While wind and solar advocates reckon we’ll all soon be driving electric vehicles charged up using sunshine and breezes, it’s ‘dirty’ old diesel that’s doing all the hard work. In Australia, those seemingly virtuous souls with EVs are really being propelled by coal, because 85% of the electricity passing through its Eastern grid comes from … Continue reading Diesel-Driven: Electric Car Charging Stations Powered by Giant Banks of Diesel Generators
Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Keep adding wind and solar to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water. Civil and ordered society demanded it. Nowadays, when the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t … Continue reading Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
