FINALLY – someone has the nacelles to say what STT has been bellowing long and loud: that the RET policy and the REC tax on power consumers is killing what’s left of Australian industry and punishing the poorest and most vulnerable to boot. **** RET/REC driven power prices are the Elephant in the Room that … Continue reading Wind Power Price Pounded Ford: Maurice Newman points to the “Elephant in the Room”

The “Great Oz” has spoken: the wind will no longer be “intermittent”
News in from the Merry Old Land of Oz: Flustered and flummoxed by the fact that the average windfarm only produces power about 25% of the time and, worse, that no one could tell him just what time of day that wind power was actually going to flow, the Great and Powerful Wizard determined that … Continue reading The “Great Oz” has spoken: the wind will no longer be “intermittent”
On the Hunt for the missing $millions
STT has heard that the greentards in charge of the ARENA fund and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation have been shoveling millions of dollars out the door to their wind industry mates, as fast as they can over the last few weeks. The plan is to fund as many wind farm proposals as possible before … Continue reading On the Hunt for the missing $millions
Victims: Robyn and Glen Brew

“Watermelon” Milne shows true colours
Hot on the heels of the SA Labor government's effort to “help” the growing legion of people who can no longer afford to pay their power bills, another “pyromaniac fire-fighter” has just jumped on the fire truck on its way to "save the day". Christine Milne clearly forgot the Mark Twain adage that "It is … Continue reading “Watermelon” Milne shows true colours
Sorry Denis, another one bites the dust
Denis "I love nacelles" Napthine managed to hit the pages of STT before he even hit the ground as the new Premier of Victoria. Barely a week in the job and he'd already upset the locals at Macarthur with his genuine contempt for his own constituents there. STT gave Denis a couple of posts to … Continue reading Sorry Denis, another one bites the dust

We’re from the Government, and we’re here to “help”
The SA Labor Government has been the loudest advocate for wind power and, to make damn sure the turbines go up anywhere the developers want, it has the slackest planning rules of all States. With wind power making up around 35% of SA's total generating capacity, it’s no surprise that it has the highest power … Continue reading We’re from the Government, and we’re here to “help”
Victims: John and Anne Carter
STT would like to introduce John and Anne Carter, who have lived next to the Crookwell wind farm in NSW since it began operation in 1998. Although these cattle farmers are not troubled by audible noise as their other neighbours are, they are impacted by infrasound - Anne in particular as well as their animals. … Continue reading Victims: John and Anne Carter
Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up
"Smokin'" Joe Hockey, odds on to be our next Treasurer, appeared on Alan Jones' show last week, being quizzed hard about the great Australian wind power fraud. Listen here. Joe did his best to stick to the script, bleating name, rank and "no carbon tax" in answer to a barrage of questions directed at the … Continue reading Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up
