In the absence of endless subsidies, the wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat, which is precisely how things are panning out for renewable rent seekers in Australia. The idea that there is a natural market for electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed, is pure nonsense: hence the massive … Continue reading Colossal Collapse: Wind & Solar Investment Plummets as Subsidies Subside

Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Lamenting their rocketing power bills and dreading mass blackouts this coming summer, Australians can be forgiven for their sense of despair. Australians once enjoyed the world’s cheapest power, reliably delivered, just like running water. No one talked about their power bills at backyard barbecues, or kept promising themselves that must have diesel generator to keep … Continue reading Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Daily Debacle: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantee More Summertime Blackouts
An obsession with intermittent wind and solar is the prime cause of Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity. A ludicrous Federal Renewable Energy Target laid the foundation; Green/left Labor State Governments in South Australia and Victoria doubled down, and did the rest. Wind and solar obsessed South Australians suffer the world’s highest power prices and … Continue reading Daily Debacle: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantee More Summertime Blackouts
Worse Than Useless: Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power Never There When It’s Needed Most
Subsidies aside, wind power has no natural commercial value simply because it cannot be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And the mythical notion of storing electricity at grid-scale doesn’t alter that equation, it simply makes wind power even more ridiculously expensive, than it already is. With wind and solar obsessed South Australia … Continue reading Worse Than Useless: Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power Never There When It’s Needed Most
Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Giant industrial wind turbines with their 60m blade’s tips clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military has obtained legislation to prevent … Continue reading Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and its pet acoustic consultants managed to set up ‘rules’ which have no relevance to the noise impacts experienced by wind farm neighbours and under which wind power outfits could ride roughshod over rural communities with complete impunity. That post … Continue reading Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet
The prospect of a 100% renewable energy future is 100% pure, unadulterated myth. Placard waving teens fretting about the weather in 30 years’ time might demand it, but logic, physics, meteorology and economics will forever conspire against an all wind and sun powered future. And the idea that a transition to wind and solar is … Continue reading The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet
Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Like night follows day, adding chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid sends power prices into orbit. South Australians know it: they suffer the world’s highest power prices as a result of their 50% RET. Other Australian states are heading in the same direction. Victoria’s great wind rush has already sent prices rocketing: wholesale … Continue reading Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Medical Malpractice: Unmasking Doctors Who Hate Wind Industry Noise Victims
It’s no mystery to those forced to live next to wind turbines that the incessant low-frequency noise they generate is seriously harmful to health. When humans set out to torture each other, sleep deprivation is usually top of the list. The wind industry has been doing just that, with impunity, for the best part of … Continue reading Medical Malpractice: Unmasking Doctors Who Hate Wind Industry Noise Victims
‘Green’ Energy’s Toxic Legacy: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills
Environmentalists have tumbled to the fact that wind power is anything but the ‘clean, green’ energy source its proponents claim it to be. While the wind industry works overtime to bury a range of inconvenient facts, it's actually burying millions of tons of toxic waste, among a list of other environmental sins. Wind turbines don’t … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Toxic Legacy: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills
