A Supreme Court Judge started hearing the trial of a noise nuisance claim brought by farmers against a wind farm operator last week. The plaintiffs are seeking substantial damages, including aggravated and exemplary damages for over six years of nightly noise punishment. As we pointed out in an earlier post, the action was being pursued … Continue reading So Corrupt: Outrageous Attempt by Wind Industry to Influence Supreme Court Judge

Justice Looms: Wind Farm Operator Faces Liability for $Millions in Damages to Noise Nuisance Victims
No one has to suffer endless sleepless nights caused by wind turbines without redress or compensation. It’s the law. On that score, a group of farmers has turned the tables on the wind farm operator who has been driving them mad since March 2015. Back then, Japan’s Mitsui and Co speared 52, 2 MW … Continue reading Justice Looms: Wind Farm Operator Faces Liability for $Millions in Damages to Noise Nuisance Victims
Permanent No-Hopers: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar No Match For On-Tap Coal-Fired Power
Virtue signalling anti-coal/pro-wind and solar groups are picking a fight they can only lose. NWO/NGOs have launched rabid attacks on any company with the temerity to back coalmining and/or coal-fired power. The activists’ line goes that any company that isn’t telling its shareholders that coal and coal-fired power plants are already dead, is lying to … Continue reading Permanent No-Hopers: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar No Match For On-Tap Coal-Fired Power
Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Australia’s renewable energy target has subsidised wind and solar to the tune of more than $60 billion, wrecked its grid and driven power prices through the roof. Its manufacturing industry is in tatters (tens of thousands of jobs have disappeared forever); energy-intensive mineral processors, such as aluminium, copper lead and zinc smelters are on life … Continue reading Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
‘Bombs’ are designed to store and quickly release copious amounts of energy, so are the mega-batteries said to save wind and solar from their hopeless intermittency. The notion is that giant lithium-ion batteries will quell the power delivery chaos that comes with attempting to rely on wholly weather-dependent wind power and wholly sunshine-dependent solar power; … Continue reading Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
The Big Battery Myth: Why Battery Storage Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar
For almost a century, electricity generation and distribution were treated as a tightly integrated system: it was designed and built as one, and is meant to operate as designed. However, the chaotic delivery of wind and solar have all but trashed the electricity generation and delivery system, as we know it. Germany, California and South … Continue reading The Big Battery Myth: Why Battery Storage Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar
‘Green’ Energy Delusions: Promise of All Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Fantasy
Anyone still talking about an ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar power must have skin in the game. That wind and solar fail to deliver when consumers need power most, is hardly news. STT has been laying it out on these pages since December 2012. Since then, sunset and calm weather have continued to smash … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Delusions: Promise of All Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Fantasy
Crunch Time: Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Threatens More Mass Blackouts
Power grids are among the most sophisticated organisms on earth, but they were never designed for the chaos delivered daily by intermittent wind and solar. For power consumers the first realisation that there’s a problem comes with load shedding (controlled blackouts) or mass blackouts (when the grid manager loses control, altogether). When sudden and … Continue reading Crunch Time: Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Threatens More Mass Blackouts
Enough is Enough: Time to End (Endless) Gravy Train for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Countless $billions are being squandered on subsidies to unreliable wind and solar, every single day. Wind and solar power don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they run on a seemingly endless stream of subsidies - without which, we simply wouldn’t be having this discussion. The merest hint threat of a cut to the subsidies sends … Continue reading Enough is Enough: Time to End (Endless) Gravy Train for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Universal Self Harm: Rejecting Nuclear Power Poses Real Extinction Threat
The only thing worse than talking about a nuclear-powered future, is not talking about one. Australians watching power prices go through the roof and suffering through power rationing during summer - thanks to the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar - are finally getting the message. Given the unrelenting attack on reliable coal-fired power, the … Continue reading Universal Self Harm: Rejecting Nuclear Power Poses Real Extinction Threat
