Costly & Pointless Wind Power Subsidies Slammed by Australia’s National Party
**** When STT cranked into gear in December 2012, hammering the wind industry was a fairly lonely occupation: hardly fashionable; a bit like wearing yellow to a funeral, really. Back then, openly questioning the “wonders” of wind power was a guaranteed dinner party showstopper. Nervous hosts – choking on their organic pinot gris – would … Continue reading Costly & Pointless Wind Power Subsidies Slammed by Australia’s National Party
Vesta’s Ken McAlpine Forced to Apologise to Dr Sarah Laurie for …. well, just being ‘Ken’
**** In Australia, struggling Danish turbine maker, Vestas is in more trouble than Ned Kelly at Glenrowan. With construction of wind farms at a standstill; and the very few developers hoping to press on with projects, plumping for cheaper versions of these things - made in India and China, Vesta’s Australian adventure is little more … Continue reading Vesta’s Ken McAlpine Forced to Apologise to Dr Sarah Laurie for …. well, just being ‘Ken’

Let the Sun Shine In: Australia’s BIGGEST Power Retailer Determined to Kill Wind Power
**** STT has been pointing out for sometime now, the fact that Australia’s big 3 power retailers have been refusing to 'play ball' with beleaguered wind power cowboys, like near-bankrupt, Infigen and the union super fund backed disaster, Pacific Hydro. Commercial retailers have not entered any power purchase agreements with wind power outfits, since about … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine In: Australia’s BIGGEST Power Retailer Determined to Kill Wind Power
Australia’s Most Notorious Wind Power Outfit – Infigen – Blames $304 Million Loss on the WIND
**** Infigen is an all-wind-power-outfit that used to be called Babcock and Brown, which collapsed in spectacular fashion back in 2009: the way things are headed, get set for a replay. As an investment 'prospect', Infigen is all about bleeding cash. It backed up a $55 million loss in 2011/12 with an $80 million loss … Continue reading Australia’s Most Notorious Wind Power Outfit – Infigen – Blames $304 Million Loss on the WIND
Wind Power Ponzi Scheme Running Out of Puff
*** Who would have thought, hey? That a wholly weather dependent power generation ‘system’, actually depended upon …. the weather?

The wind industry … Continue reading Wind Power Ponzi Scheme Running Out of Puff

Potential Wind Farm Neighbour Finds Idyllic Property is Now ‘Unsaleable’ at Any Price
**** STT hears that hundreds of communities across rural Australia are about to launch the mother-of-all counter-attacks, against the pending threat of having their homes quite literally stolen by wind power outfits. Monstrous outfits - like near-bankrupt Infigen - are just dying to spear another 2,500 of these things into places that have greeted that … Continue reading Potential Wind Farm Neighbour Finds Idyllic Property is Now ‘Unsaleable’ at Any Price
