In Australia, one long-running "inconvenience" for … Continue reading David Mortimer, Turbine Host: An “Inconvenient” Wind Industry Fact
It Don’t Take Sherlock to Know; When the Wind Don’t Blow, The Power Don’t Flow
**** STT has - just once or twice - smashed the myth that wind power can provide a meaningful supply of electricity (ie power "on-demand") - and relegated to the fiction aisle the the wind industry's "playbook", where you'll find, in bold print, the oft-told furphy about wind farms "powering" 10s of thousands of homes. … Continue reading It Don’t Take Sherlock to Know; When the Wind Don’t Blow, The Power Don’t Flow
Infigen Imploding: Puts US Wind Farms On the Market in Last-Ditch Attempt to Balance its Books
**** 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. Infigen is bleeding cash (it backed up a $55 million loss in 2011/12 with an $80 million loss in 2012/13 and keeps losing money, … Continue reading Infigen Imploding: Puts US Wind Farms On the Market in Last-Ditch Attempt to Balance its Books
What REAL Experts are Saying About Steven’s Cooper’s Wind Farm Noise Study
**** In our recent post we popped up the study done by Steven Cooper at Pacific Hydro’s Cape Bridgewater wind farm, that’s sent the wind industry and its parasites into complete melt-down.

STT’s Australian of the Year Awards
**** Australians are a weird mob - as that, somewhat historically inaccurate, mash up demonstrates. “Cooky” was, of course, a Yorkshireman; and, strictly speaking, Burke, of Burke and Wills fame, was an Irish born solider and policeman. Ned Kelly, the only gluten intolerant bushranger in history - born in Victoria, to an Irish convict father … Continue reading STT’s Australian of the Year Awards

Steven Cooper’s Cape Bridgewater Wind Farm Study the Beginning of the End for the Wind Industry
**** Earlier this week, a small, but very effective, nuclear device was detonated at Cape Bridewater, which - before Union Super Funds backed Pacific Hydro destroyed it - was a pristine, coastal idyll in South-Western Victoria. The bomb that went off was a study carried out by one of Australia’s crack acoustic specialists, Steven Cooper … Continue reading Steven Cooper’s Cape Bridgewater Wind Farm Study the Beginning of the End for the Wind Industry
More Wind Power Outfits Go Bust: “Farmer-Investors” Lose their Shirts in the US
**** In Australia, the wind industry is in total melt-down, with many of its "BIG" players on the brink of financial collapse. And the dreadful "uncertainty" about the willingness of governments to continue fleecing power consumers and taxpayers - in order to keep throwing massive subsidies at the greatest rort of all time (which, on … Continue reading More Wind Power Outfits Go Bust: “Farmer-Investors” Lose their Shirts in the US
Wind Industry Keeps Losing ‘Hearts and Minds’: Community Opposition Rolls & Builds
**** Remember all the guff about everyone just “loving” wind farms: you know, the spin trotted out by wind industry spruikers - like the Clean Energy Council - in Mickey Mouse “surveys” that claim 150% of your compatriots just can’t wait to spear thousands of giant fans into YOUR slice of heaven (not theirs, of … Continue reading Wind Industry Keeps Losing ‘Hearts and Minds’: Community Opposition Rolls & Builds
