‘Panic’ and ‘delusion’ sum up the results of Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster. Panic at the threat posed by the occasional and chaotic delivery of wind and solar power to the grid; a threat already realised in Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia, which suffers the highest power prices in the world and is … Continue reading Power Crisis Panic: Australia’s Energy Regulator Warns More Renewables Means More Blackouts

Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
It’s often forgotten that the diminutive David slew the gigantic Goliath. Discipline, nerve and strategic resolve is what wins battles. And in Western Victoria, there’s no bigger battle than that brewing between wind power outfits and local community defenders. One of the best of those is retired country lawyer, Tony Edney. He’s the handsome devil … Continue reading Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
Fact Factory: Smashing Big Wind Starts & Ends With Data & Detail
What the wind industry hates most are facts; facts about rocketing power prices, massive subsidies, chaotic intermittency, incessant noise and consequent harm to neighbour's health, the destruction of birds and bats, the destruction of underground water supplies, turbines spontaneously combusting, disintegrating or throwing their blades to the four winds. We could go on. On this … Continue reading Fact Factory: Smashing Big Wind Starts & Ends With Data & Detail
German Researchers Target Effects of Wind Turbine Infrasound on the Heart
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 infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it’s the pulsing … Continue reading German Researchers Target Effects of Wind Turbine Infrasound on the Heart
US Wind Power Outfit Busted for ‘Mining’ Native American Land in Oklahoma
Riding roughshod over the rights of indigenous peoples and desecrating their sacred land is all in a day’s work for the wind industry. At places like the Bald Hills (in Gippsland, Victoria) and at Cape Bridgewater (in western, Victoria) wind turbine construction resulted in the desecration of sacred Aboriginal burial grounds: Bad Blood: Fatal Brawl … Continue reading US Wind Power Outfit Busted for ‘Mining’ Native American Land in Oklahoma
Power Vacuum: Australia’s Energy Crisis Screaming Out for Nuclear Option
Crippled by its suicidal obsession with wind and solar, Australia is screaming out for politicians with the wit and temerity to push the nuclear option. Power prices will continue to rocket, and the routine load shedding and blackouts suffered in SA will eventually burst across the border, plunging Victorians, among others, into Stone Age gloom. … Continue reading Power Vacuum: Australia’s Energy Crisis Screaming Out for Nuclear Option
Australia’s Endless Renewable Energy Nightmare: Subsidies Worth $4bn a Year Run Until 2031
The line that Australia’s rocketing power prices will soon plummet is just a cruel hoax. The subsidies for large-scale wind and solar under the Federal government’s Large-Scale RET will total more than $60 billion over the life of that scheme: the Renewable Energy Certificates issued under the LRET have already added more than $15 … Continue reading Australia’s Endless Renewable Energy Nightmare: Subsidies Worth $4bn a Year Run Until 2031
Want Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos? Wind Power’s Your Answer
Deranged and delusional, those that promote wind power come up with all manner of falsehoods to protect their beloved. One of the latest is that conventional generators, namely coal-fired power plants ‘fail all the time’. When presented with images like the one above from Aneroid Energy - depicting the output every wind turbine connected to … Continue reading Want Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos? Wind Power’s Your Answer
Lunatic’s Paradise: SA Voters’ Last Chance to Curb Renewable Energy Insanity
South Australia is renowned as a renewable energy ‘superpower’, which has left it with the highest retail power prices in the world and the most unreliable grid on the planet (Burkina Faso, Cuba and North Korea aside). As this post goes to air, officials will soon start counting votes in SA’s State election. Pundits … Continue reading Lunatic’s Paradise: SA Voters’ Last Chance to Curb Renewable Energy Insanity
Water Wars: Wind Turbine Construction Destroying Underground Water Supplies in Ontario
Pundits have predicted that the next major war will be sparked over water. In Ontario just such a battle is (pardon the pun) well underway. A couple of weeks back STT reported on the destruction of underground water supplies in Chatham-Kent: Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop … Continue reading Water Wars: Wind Turbine Construction Destroying Underground Water Supplies in Ontario
