It’s an unassailable fact: add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and power prices skyrocket. South Australians, Danes and Germans fight for line honours over which of their proletariat suffers the world’s highest power prices. As to the Australian states hooked up to the Eastern Grid, Dr Michael Crawford’s simple … Continue reading Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers

Cost-Effective ‘Renewable’ Energy Is Like Unobtanium: A Fictional Construct
Wind power sits comfortably alongside Alchemy and perpetual motion machines: ideas that were both superficially attractive and utterly impossible. No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind power, and no country ever will. Putting aside their unreliability and chaotic intermittency, the amount of energy and resources that go into building a single wind turbine … Continue reading Cost-Effective ‘Renewable’ Energy Is Like Unobtanium: A Fictional Construct
Wanna Know What’s Really Powering Australia? It Ain’t Sunshine & Breezes – It’s Coal
After almost 20 years and tens of $billions in subsidies, wind and solar’s combined contribution to Australian energy demand is risible. And that’s on average. Those pesky facts (sunset and calm weather) mean that there are hundreds of occasions each year when their combined contribution is a big fat zero. Meanwhile, back on Earth, … Continue reading Wanna Know What’s Really Powering Australia? It Ain’t Sunshine & Breezes – It’s Coal
Battle Lost: Mob Turns Against Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar
Seems like only yesterday when you were hard pressed to find anything in print criticising wind and solar, save for sites like this one. Nowadays, there’s a veritable smorgasbord. Quite a few mainstream journalists are waking up to the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. STT has been joined by dozens of … Continue reading Battle Lost: Mob Turns Against Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar
Renewable Energy Armageddon: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are at the heart of Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity. Like a runaway train, the disaster is unfolding before the passengers' very eyes, with state and federal politicians apparently incapable of bringing the disaster to a halt and ever-present rent seekers throwing the throttle wide open. … Continue reading Renewable Energy Armageddon: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Blown Away: Mounting Community Opposition Brings Wind Industry to Grinding Halt
The wind industry once held a kind of ‘social licence’. Now that ‘licence’ has been revoked, with rural communities in uproar. In Germany, new wind farm construction has ground to a halt this year - and across the USA the same pattern is emerging. Local governments, legislators and conservation groups have united to pull the … Continue reading Blown Away: Mounting Community Opposition Brings Wind Industry to Grinding Halt
Short Circuit: Victoria’s Renewable Energy Calamity Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
South Australia’s wind and solar experiment provides the perfect example of how to wreck a power system and an economy with one blow. Not to be outdone, neighbouring Victoria drank the Kool Aid, too - pushing its very own 50% Renewable Energy Target, with a headlong rush into wind and large-scale solar. The lunatics that … Continue reading Short Circuit: Victoria’s Renewable Energy Calamity Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Full Steam Ahead: China’s Coal-Fired Power Surge Continues At Full-Tilt
Cut the subsidies and the wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear overnight. That’s the lesson being delivered across the globe, as investment in new wind and solar capacity plummets. Nowhere has the collapse been more prominent than in China. Which is at odds with the meme that’s been run by renewable energy zealots for years … Continue reading Full Steam Ahead: China’s Coal-Fired Power Surge Continues At Full-Tilt
Barely Legal: Victorian Wind Industry Furious As Noise Affected Neighbours Finally Get Justice
The wind industry’s Victorian onslaught has hit the wall, as lawyered up neighbours pursue noise nuisance cases against their tormentors. It all started at a place called Bald Hills with a lawyer named Dominica Tannock - and her firm, DST Legal: Litigation Breakout: Victorian Wind Farm Neighbours Pursuing $Millions from Wind Developers for Noise Nuisance … Continue reading Barely Legal: Victorian Wind Industry Furious As Noise Affected Neighbours Finally Get Justice
Lone Star Losers: Wind Power Collapses During Texan Heatwave & Power Prices Rocket
No one cares much about electricity, until they don’t have it. For the best part of a century, proles in the industrialised world have enjoyed electricity on the same terms as running water; ubiquitous, cheap and always available. Infrastructure interruptions during electrical storms and wild weather aside, electricity has been generated and delivered on … Continue reading Lone Star Losers: Wind Power Collapses During Texan Heatwave & Power Prices Rocket
