Angry Wind Farm Victims Pull the Trigger: Turbines Shot-Up in Montana and Victoria

**** One of the great lines spun by the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers is how country people simply just can’t wait to snuggle up next to a cuddly bunch of Vestas V112s (see our post here). Apparently, life for rural communities just isn’t complete without a fleet of blade-chucking, pyrotechnic, sonic-torture devices. The … Continue reading Angry Wind Farm Victims Pull the Trigger: Turbines Shot-Up in Montana and Victoria

Too Hot? Too Cold? Then Don’t Expect Wind Power to Help

**** What STT followers get in a heartbeat is the lunacy attached to reliance on a wholly weather dependent power 'system' - and we use that term in the wildest possible sense: power generation that only bursts into life with thumping breezes and disappears when things drop back to a zephyr can't sensibly be called … Continue reading Too Hot?

Brits’ Wind Power Nightmare to End Soon: Tories Set to Take the Axe to Subsidies

Greg Hunt Delivers Coalition’s Political Suicide Manifesto: Liberals Lock-In $46 Billion Power Tax as Wind Industry Rescue Package

**** The wind industry in Australia is doomed. Australia’s commercial lending institutions know it (calling in their loans and refusing to lend for any new wind farms). And the wind industry knows it - hence the big players’ frantic efforts to ditch their wind farms, cut and run – although these fire sales are as … Continue reading Greg Hunt Delivers Coalition’s Political Suicide Manifesto: Liberals Lock-In $46 Billion Power Tax as Wind Industry Rescue Package

Origin’s Grant King Spells Out the Inevitable Demise of the LRET & the Wind Industry

**** In last night’s post we took a look at China’s wind power debacle, where grid operators are refusing to hook up wind farms to the grid – due the uneconomic cost of doing so in remote locations – with the result that more than 20% of its wind power capacity sits idle – and … Continue reading Origin’s Grant King Spells Out the Inevitable Demise of the LRET & the Wind Industry

China’s Wind Power Ponzi Scheme Collapsing: Grid Operators Refusing to Connect Wind Farms

**** In recent times – with the wind industry taking a belting around the planet – its spruikers have taken to clinging to any vestige of hope, with the anxious zeal of shipwreck survivors happening upon a little fortuitous flotsam. One such “hope”, is their belief that China provides the perfect example of what wind … Continue reading China’s Wind Power Ponzi Scheme Collapsing: Grid Operators Refusing to Connect Wind Farms

**** The Australian Senate’s Inquiry into the great wind power fraud resumed on 18 May in Cairns, Far North Queensland.
