**** Time is fast running out for STT’s favourite whipping boys, Infigen. Bleeding cash (it backed up a $55 million loss in 2011/12 with an $80 million loss, last financial year) the struggling outfit - formerly known as Babcock and Brown - is scrambling to get development approvals for all of its projects so they … Continue reading Jonathan Upson: Thuggery, Bullying and Harassment – just another day at the office

Who to believe: Waubra Grazier, Carl Stepnell or fully paid up wind power advocates?
**** STT hears that the Head Boy has taken a personal interest in the wind farm health inquiry and is keen to make sure that only the best of the best are involved in the task and that there's a bucket of cash to pay them. And about time, too. Acciona’s non-compliant Waubra wind farm … Continue reading Who to believe: Waubra Grazier, Carl Stepnell or fully paid up wind power advocates?
Melissa Ware: “Please Tony, Save Our Souls”
**** Melissa Ware is one of Pac Hydro’s numerous tragic victims at Cape Bridgewater, Victoria - where the Labor/Union backed outfit - run by former union heavy Gary Weaven - runs another non-compliant wind farm that’s been driving the neighbours to hell and back for over five years now (see our post here). Here is … Continue reading Melissa Ware: “Please Tony, Save Our Souls”
Hamish Cumming: Victorian Government engaged in “Fraud on a Grand Scale”
**** There are few campaigners who can match Victorian Western District farmer and grazier, Hamish Cumming for courage and sheer determination. Hamish is a true environmentalist – his love of endangered brolgas and his sterling efforts to prevent them being sliced and diced by giant fans, has made him a true Victorian legend. Hamish has … Continue reading Hamish Cumming: Victorian Government engaged in “Fraud on a Grand Scale”
Alan Moran: Wind Power’s a Costly Failure
**** Alan Moran has been out to “terminate” Australia's pointless and ludicrously expensive Renewable Energy Target for some time (see our post here). Well, you can’t keep a good man down and Alan’s back - this time dishing it up in the lefty business rag, the Australian Financial Review. Renewables are just a power failure … Continue reading Alan Moran: Wind Power’s a Costly Failure
Herald Sun’s Terry McCrann: “The Climate Spectator’s a joke!”
**** The Herald Sun’s leading numbers man, Terry McCrann is clearly on the STT team – he came out swinging a while back with a call to can the fans - in no uncertain terms (see our post here). Well, Terry’s back and – from the way his latest piece reads – we think just … Continue reading Herald Sun’s Terry McCrann: “The Climate Spectator’s a joke!”
How to Steal Someone’s Home – with Government help
A few posts back we looked at how Scottish wind weasels are all set for another round of Highland Clearances - effectively stealing Scots’ homes before their very eyes. Well, it seems weasels south of the Scottish border are all set to do the same. Here’s the Exeter Express and Echo providing a template on … Continue reading How to Steal Someone’s Home – with Government help
Friday Funnies
STT has been trying hard to keep off the climate realists’ turf – readers know we’ve lapsed a couple of times lately – but we’re seriously trying to get back on the straight and narrow. Well, not that seriously. This Spectator article was just too funny not to share. Enjoy! Global warming's glorious ship of … Continue reading Friday Funnies
Why South Australians Pay the World’s Highest Power Prices
**** South Australia is "blessed" with energy market gurus like Labor's Mark Butler - who loves giant fans and is currently fighting a rear-guard action to save the RET (or, more to the point, the huge wind farm investments held by Union Super funds run by his mates, like Greg Combet and Gary Weaven). His … Continue reading Why South Australians Pay the World’s Highest Power Prices
Wind Power: the “Joke” that just isn’t funny anymore
**** South-Eastern Australia enjoyed a few typically warm summers days last week and the weather pattern saw wind power output collapse - as it does more than 100 times every year. In our post yesterday we covered the resulting spike in wholesale power prices and “load-shedding” that saw small business owners in Victoria’s coastal tourist … Continue reading Wind Power: the “Joke” that just isn’t funny anymore
