Consumers Carry Colossal Cost of Getting Wind & Solar From Nowhere to Somewhere

The grand wind and solar transition comes with a staggering pricetag, not least the $trillions required to connect far-flung wind turbines and solar panels to increasingly distant markets. Building a secondary network of high voltage transmission lines and interconnectors to carry the power occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels, spread far and wide, … Continue reading Consumers Carry Colossal Cost of Getting Wind & Solar From Nowhere to Somewhere

Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers

The offshore wind industry is wiping out thousands of marine mammals and fish are its next victims. While plenty has been written about whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals being deafened by wind turbine construction activities (they don’t respond well to sonar and seismic blasting), less notice has been given to fish, crabs and other critters … Continue reading Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers

Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest

https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest

Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash

The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history - from unwitting power consumers and taxpayers to a cabal of rent-seeking crony capitalists. Greed and avarice drives them, aided and abetted by government mandates, diktats and decrees. Built on lies and running on subsidies, … Continue reading Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash

Cash Inferno: Offshore Wind Power Fastest Way to Squander Countless $Billions

In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the metrics are far worse out at sea. Notwithstanding the $billions in subsidies - gouged from taxpayers and/or lumped on power consumers’ crushing power bills - proposed projects … Continue reading Cash Inferno: Offshore Wind Power Fastest Way to Squander Countless $Billions

Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies

The wind ‘industry’ chews through $billions of other people’s money every day, but it’s never enough. Part of the problem is the metric of their mantra. Telling everyone that wind power ‘is cheap’ and getting cheaper all the time doesn’t gel with ‘forever’ subsidies, renewable targets, mandates and guaranteed prices for power which is delivered … Continue reading Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies

Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth

‘Wind and solar power are cheap and reliable’, ‘war is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ or so the Ministry of Truth would have you believe. Perverting the meaning of language is all in a day’s work for the rent-seeking crowd that sit behind wind and solar outfits - ably assisted by a crowd of deranged zealots … Continue reading Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth

Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses

Intermittent wind and solar deliver guaranteed 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. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. So, don’t say we didn’t warn you. The graphic above … Continue reading Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses

Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster

You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But Germany’s wind and sun cult are struggling to fool all of the people, for all time. Slowly but surely, the average German is working out that they have been played for fools. As Charles MacKay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think … Continue reading Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster

Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions

Wind power is delivered chaotically, it’s costly and critically depends on the weather. So, the only purported justification is said to be a reduction of carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector. Putting aside whether there’s any need to do so, STT is happy to attack the myth that wind power does any … Continue reading Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
