Intermittent wind and solar are a natural guarantee of grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. The … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-Off: How Price Gougers Profit From Sunset & Calm Weather

Connection Made: Consumers Suffer Hidden Transmission Costs For Wind & Solar
The wind and solar industries spear turbines and plaster panels way beyond the back of beyond. Increasingly remote locations for wind and solar generators require serious upgrades to transmission infrastructure, adding hundreds of $millions to transmission costs, that would have otherwise been avoided, had Australia simply stuck with conventional generators and not squandered $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to … Continue reading Connection Made: Consumers Suffer Hidden Transmission Costs For Wind & Solar
Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
Death and taxes are certainties, so too the wind and solar industry’s critical dependence on massive and endless subsidies. Those pushing wind and solar keep telling us that the power they produce is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. Every so often, rent seekers and their political enablers are faced with the retort that, … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream
All of a sudden, energy security and affordability is the new black. The Russian onslaught in Ukraine has focused thinking on energy supplies, like nothing before. The West has taken its energy advantages for granted, for far too long. But, the energy pricing and supply calamity that’s followed Vlad’s aggressive bid for territorial expansion, has … Continue reading Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream
Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Death and taxes are guaranteed, so are rocketing power prices and power rationing once intermittent wind and solar are added to the grid. Duplicating capital costs to destabilise and undermine a generating system that works, with one that only ‘works’ when the wind is blowing just right and the sun is shining in a cloudless … Continue reading Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Why Heavily Subsidised & Utterly Unreliable Wind & Solar Will Wreck Your Economy
The wind and solar cult will never admit it, but coal-fired power is the backbone of Australia’s electricity grid. Without it, this country would descend into Stone Age chaos in next to no time. With the announcement that another reliable coal-fired power plant will be shuttered in a few years’ time, the response from our … Continue reading Why Heavily Subsidised & Utterly Unreliable Wind & Solar Will Wreck Your Economy
Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
There is a place for solar power, but it ain’t connected to a power grid. Delivering power for no more than seven hours a day (ordinarily between five and six hours, at best, and less in winter) means sticking solar panels on homes connected to conventional power grids makes no sense at all. As the … Continue reading Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
Getting Away With ‘Green’ Murder: Wind Industry Destroying Vast Tracts of Australian Wilderness
Vast tracts of Australia’s tropical and sub-tropical forests are being destroyed to make way for giant industrial wind turbines. Running like a spine down the east coast of Australia, the Great Dividing Range is prime real estate for renewable energy rent-seekers, keen on spearing 260m high monsters into territory that tree huggers used to hold … Continue reading Getting Away With ‘Green’ Murder: Wind Industry Destroying Vast Tracts of Australian Wilderness
Guilty: Intermittent Wind & Solar Responsible For Global Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Europe’s ongoing wind drought (and corresponding wind power output collapse) is a wake-up call for anyone vaguely concerned about energy supplies. Starting in September last year and running for weeks on end, total collapses in wind power output across Western Europe and the UK, forced a wholesale rethink of the maniacal reliance upon wind and … Continue reading Guilty: Intermittent Wind & Solar Responsible For Global Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
