Delusional reliance on unreliable wind and solar is a reason that governments are interfering in consumers’ power usage. Pitched under the euphemism “demand management”, state-controlled power rationing is the natural consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. When the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought … Continue reading Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing

Ethical Vacuum: RE Batteries & All Electric Vehicles Drive Demand For “Blood Minerals”
As the truth gets out, the smugness that comes with owning (and sometimes driving) a Tesla may be harder to maintain than the vehicle itself (see above). The trope has it that soon we’ll all be auto-piloted by EVs charged by electrons lovingly caressed from sunshine and breezes. Although, if that vision is ever realised, … Continue reading Ethical Vacuum: RE Batteries & All Electric Vehicles Drive Demand For “Blood Minerals”
Grid-Scale Power Storage Myth Busted: Giant Batteries Can’t Save Unreliable Wind & Solar
It only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. Those profiting from hopelessly intermittent wind and solar still claim that mega-batteries are the solution to their obvious lack of reliability. Others point to pumped hydro and even ridiculously claim that “excess” wind … Continue reading Grid-Scale Power Storage Myth Busted: Giant Batteries Can’t Save Unreliable Wind & Solar
Dead Calm Weather Exposes The Great ‘Green’ Energy Lie Almost Every Single Day
If you believe that the ‘cheque’s in the mail’, ‘the wind is always blowing somewhere’ and ‘the sun never sets’, you’ll believe anything. STT is dedicated to exposing the lie that we are well on our way to an inevitable transition to an all-wind and sun-powered future. What’s depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – … Continue reading Dead Calm Weather Exposes The Great ‘Green’ Energy Lie Almost Every Single Day
Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will
In the absence of mandates directing grid managers to take chaotic wind or solar power ahead of conventional power and/or massive subsidies directed to retailers encouraging them to take it and/or heavy fines imposed on them if they refuse to, there is simply no commercial market for power which can only be generated occasionally, in … Continue reading Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will
Why Big Batteries Can’t Cure Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
Politicos and the MSM are wedded to the myth that mega-batteries are all we need to overcome the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. The addition of which, we are told, is both imminent and cost-free. No country on earth has been able to crack the cost-effective grid-scale storage electricity. The laws of physics are … Continue reading Why Big Batteries Can’t Cure Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
Judge Hits Wind Farm & Big Tesla Battery Owners With $4m Fines For Delivery Failures
Now and again the law catches up with the shysters that run wind farms and so-called big batteries. Failing to deliver on a promise ordinarily results in an order for damages to be paid to the unwitting victim. In addition, in a regulated electricity market, the regulator will sometimes join in and seek its pound … Continue reading Judge Hits Wind Farm & Big Tesla Battery Owners With $4m Fines For Delivery Failures
Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Australia’s unfolding power pricing and supply calamity reveals just how critical our coal-fired power plants are if we want power as and when we need it. Sure, there’s a choice between virtue signalling about your love of wind and solar and visceral hatred of “dirty” coal-fired power. But allow the deluded wind and sun … Continue reading Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
The renewable energy pit deepens, but there’s no indication the dolts in charge will ever stop digging. The, by now obvious, consequences of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes include another annual power price increase of over 20% this month and routine power rationing by postcode. In response, there’s a growing groundswell of hostility … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
The deluded few still promoting the total transition to wind and solar as ‘inevitable’ are being pounded by reality, on a daily basis. Dead calm weather is a thing; sunset is a thing. Both phenomena are inevitable, ergo, there is no way wind and solar can ever amount to meaningful power sources. Proponents have been … Continue reading ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
