The wind industry is a law unto itself, merrily crushing community opposition with the help of pliant and gullible politicians. And, where corruption reaches its natural limit, cash takes over. Mind you, spending other people’s money is always a treat. Leases with farmers who ‘host’ the turbines and so-called “good neighbour” agreements with their neighbours … Continue reading Bound & Gagged: Wind Industry Shuts Down Community Complaints Using Punitive Gag Clauses

National Suicide: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Driven by Wind & Solar Obsession
Australia’s energy policy reads like a National suicide note: power prices went from the lowest in the world to the highest, in little over a decade. Plotting the path to destruction is pretty easy: start by throwing $60 billion in subsidies at wind and large-scale solar, demonise cheap and reliable coal-fired power and put lunatics … Continue reading National Suicide: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Driven by Wind & Solar Obsession
Falmouth Locals Celebrate Brilliant Victory: Noisy Wind Turbines Finally Silenced & Banished Forever
Beating the wind industry takes tenacity, patience and perseverance. In Falmouth, Massachusetts that combination helped locals regain their town after two Vestas V82s were speared within a few hundred metres of homes set in, once perfectly peaceful, idyllic rural countryside. Practically incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound literally drove neighbours nuts, for years. … Continue reading Falmouth Locals Celebrate Brilliant Victory: Noisy Wind Turbines Finally Silenced & Banished Forever
Reliable Power Rewind: Australia Rebuilds Baseload With New High Efficiency Low Emission Coal Plants
Like pushing on string, adding wind and solar adds nothing to reliable power generation capacity: never there when you need it, and often there when you don’t, wind and solar are just a perpetual irritant to grid managers - the people attempting to keep the lights on and air conditioners humming this summer. On 25 … Continue reading Reliable Power Rewind: Australia Rebuilds Baseload With New High Efficiency Low Emission Coal Plants
Billion Dollar Blowout: Counting Mounting & Astronomical Cost of Australia’s Wind Power Chaos
In Australia this summer, it’s one thing to have electricity, it’s quite another to be able to pay the bill. Over the last week or so, STT has focused on an event when 200,000 Victorian businesses and households were left sweltering during heatwave, as a collapse in wind power output led to widespread load shedding … Continue reading Billion Dollar Blowout: Counting Mounting & Astronomical Cost of Australia’s Wind Power Chaos
Antidote to Chaos: High Efficiency Low Emissions Coal-Fired Power Plants Key To Restoring Reliable & Affordable Power
Electricity used to be taken for granted in Australia, like running water. Not anymore. Thanks to chaotically delivered wind and solar, having power during hot weather is now treated more like winning the lottery. Joni Mitchell sang about not knowing what you’ve got till it’s gone in her ditty, Big Yellow Taxi. Likewise, Victorians … Continue reading Antidote to Chaos: High Efficiency Low Emissions Coal-Fired Power Plants Key To Restoring Reliable & Affordable Power
Blackout Fallout: Wind Power Debacle Leaves Thousands of Powerless Victorians Furious
Everyone ‘loves’ the idea of wind and solar power, until they’re sweltering in the dark. 200,000 Victorian homes and businesses left powerless - after a sudden and dramatic wind power output collapse on 25 January - have got a taste of what wind 'powered' South Australians have been putting up with for years. And they … Continue reading Blackout Fallout: Wind Power Debacle Leaves Thousands of Powerless Victorians Furious
Home Wreckers: Finnish Study Finds Wind Turbine Infrasound Unsafe For Residents Living Within 15 Km
The Finns are renowned for their stoicism, but grinding, pulsing wind turbine noise is too much for any sentient being, even the Finnish. The evidence proving the unnecessary damage done to wind farm neighbours by the noise generated by giant industrial wind turbines is mounting by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible … Continue reading Home Wreckers: Finnish Study Finds Wind Turbine Infrasound Unsafe For Residents Living Within 15 Km
Tall Texan Tales: Hyperbolic Claims About Wind & Solar Performance in Texas Are Pure Nonsense
It takes more than audacity to promote an all wind and sun powered future - it requires the deluded to make nonsense sound reasonable. When zealots start waffling about wonderful wind and solar ‘resources’, that the wind and sun are ‘free’ and if we all believed together, we’re just a heartbeat away from ditching fossil … Continue reading Tall Texan Tales: Hyperbolic Claims About Wind & Solar Performance in Texas Are Pure Nonsense
How Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroyed Australia’s Economic Competitiveness
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar have sent power prices soaring in Australia. Barely a generation ago, Australians enjoyed the lowest power prices in the world, now they suffer the highest. And it took a little over a decade - see above. In a helpful exposition of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply … Continue reading How Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroyed Australia’s Economic Competitiveness
