**** 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.

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.

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
Don’t Say “We Didn’t Warn You”
**** “Risible”: provoking laughter through being ludicrous. That’s a pretty fair summation of Australia’s so-called “wind industry" in the week just gone. It would be, except, wind power was pitched as a reliable replacement for on-demand power generation sources (like coal, hydro and gas) and a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions. Our political betters … Continue reading Don’t Say “We Didn’t Warn You”
AGL Cops Both Barrels from Annie Gardner
**** AGL’s Macarthur wind farm is a public health disaster, with some 30 farming families being driven nuts by incessant low-frequency noise and infra-sound night, after merciless night. STT Champion Annie Gardner is amongst them. Annie has just unloaded both barrels at AGL’s management in this cracking letter. 26 December, 2013 Chairman AGL Energy Ltd., … Continue reading AGL Cops Both Barrels from Annie Gardner
Wind Power: Germany’s Fatal Attraction
All lies and promises – the wind industry has finally been rumbled in Germany and is about to be shown the door in Australia. Wind weasels and their parasites have been guilty of more than just a little hubris.
