If you’re being driven nuts by thumping, grinding wind turbine noise don’t expect government authorities to help. Local governments, municipalities and so-called Environment Protection Authorities were co-opted by the wind industry, long ago. Although, sometimes, it’s more bungling incompetence than blatant corruption that does the damage. Everyone is entitled to sleep comfortably in their own … Continue reading Holding Wind Power Outfits to Account Means Getting Your Own Noise Data

Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Germans have worked out that relying on the weather for your power has one major problem: “The Weather”. They’ve even coined a term for gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’ - periods of days or weeks when their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels produce next to nothing or nothing at all. … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing. Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position … Continue reading Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Total Calamity: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ On Collision Course With Bitter Reality
If what has been done to energy policy was the work of outside forces, it’d be called an ‘act of war’. Sadly, it’s all from the home team and better described as ‘outright treason.’ Australia is, without doubt, the most over governed country on earth, with more mouthpieces and slackers per head of population than … Continue reading Total Calamity: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ On Collision Course With Bitter Reality
Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels
Being entirely dependent upon subsidies and the weather, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is on a collision course with reality. European states have taken to rejecting the much heralded all wind and sun powered future, en masse. The Swedes are only the latest to join a group more concerned about their citizen's welfare than … Continue reading Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels
Great Leap Backwards: Net-Zero Emission Targets Wrecking Western Civilisation
Net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are just another example of ‘glorious five-year plans’ with monstrous results for all and sundry. The malevolent dictator loves grand sweeping visions, particularly those that diminish their enemies and transfer their wealth to their friends and cronies. So it is with mandated and equally malevolent diktats aimed at reducing … Continue reading Great Leap Backwards: Net-Zero Emission Targets Wrecking Western Civilisation
No Deal: Aussie Farmers Reject Massive Wind & Solar Transmission Grid Rollout
The wind cultist is always ready to spear hundreds of giant 240m (787ft) industrial wind turbines into your backyard, but howls bloody outrage should the ‘favour’ look like being returned. Destroying your patch of paradise is a sacrifice that he is always willing to make. Characters like former Greens leader, Bob Brown and rent-seeking renewables lobbyist, Oliver Yates. … Continue reading No Deal: Aussie Farmers Reject Massive Wind & Solar Transmission Grid Rollout
War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
The obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has few winners and plenty of losers. The latter include the householders and businesses being crushed by power price increases of a magnitude that few of them can afford, and none of them expected (having been consistently lied to by the politicos and MSM … Continue reading War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’
Government-mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings – the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King John known … Continue reading You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’
