Claiming that wind and solar are green is simply nuts. Delivering rubbish power and leaving mountains of toxic rubbish in their wake, solar panels and industrial wind turbines are the antithesis of ‘green’. Assuming that ‘green’ means friendly to environments, people and the communities that they live in? As Michael Shellenberger explains during this Chris … Continue reading Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie

Mega-Pumped Hydro Project Becomes Total Economic & Environmental Disaster
Touted as the saviour for subsidised wind and solar, pumped hydro turns out to be a whole lot harder in practice. The Snowy 2.0 plan (see above) never stacked up economically – see our posts here and here – and never will. One of the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) critical to the project, Florence had barely struck … Continue reading Mega-Pumped Hydro Project Becomes Total Economic & Environmental Disaster
Wind & Solar Chaos Driving Demand For Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Nuclear power’s renaissance is the inevitable response to the wind and solar transition’s inevitable failure. Sunshine and weather-dependent solar and weather-dependent wind are no match for serious generation sources, like safe, reliable and affordable nuclear. Incapable of delivering electricity on demand, wind and solar have never been true competitors with coal, gas or nuclear power … Continue reading Wind & Solar Chaos Driving Demand For Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Wind Industry’s Latest Victims: How Much ‘Green’ Hypocrisy Can a Koala Bear?
By trashing Australia’s pristine forests, the wind industry is wiping out critical habitat for the iconic koala. And the political cult that supports it, couldn’t care less. In a recent post, STT covered the work of Dominic Legoe, who is now part of a growing chorus of outrage about the way the Queensland and Federal … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Latest Victims: How Much ‘Green’ Hypocrisy Can a Koala Bear?
Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
A little over 20 years ago, Australia plugged in to the wind and solar transition with the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target. As they say, ‘sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind’. Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supplies are long gone, replaced by heavily subsidised, intermittent and costly wind and solar, backed up by … Continue reading Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Keep adding wind and solar to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water. Civil and ordered society demanded it. Nowadays, when the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t … Continue reading Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
The ‘transition’ to portable electric generators, flashlights and candles is well on its way. The inevitable consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes is having power only when the sun is up and the wind is blowing, just right. Grid-scale energy storage is a myth, as is waffle about so-called ‘green’ hydrogen. The … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels
The only certainties attached to the wind and solar transition are being constantly whacked with crushing power bills and sitting freezing or boiling in the dark, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Whereas Europeans are crab-walking away from their mad rush towards wind and solar - with many tapping into next-generation nuclear power … Continue reading Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels
Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive
Households and businesses faced with crippling power bills are just another bad optic for renewable energy rent seekers. The political support upon which the seemingly endless flow of massive subsidies depends, in turn, depends on the proles’ attitude to those charged with delivering reliable and affordable power. Having just been whacked with 20-30% increases in … Continue reading Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive
Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge
When disaster threatens the rational retreat, but the clown soldiers on and even doubles down, accelerating the race to oblivion. Facts are treated with contempt; reality with derision. So it is with the grand wind and solar transition. It’s a disease of the mind that allows for the belief that a first world economy can … Continue reading Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge
