**** In our last post we tipped a bucket on the central, endlessly repeated lie trotted out by the wind industry and its parasites, that Australia's great wind rush has resulted in substantial reductions of CO2 emissions in the electricity sector. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for … Continue reading Senator Chris Back: Wind Industry must prove its CO2 abatement claims

Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
The central, endlessly repeated lie (upon which the great wind power fraud rests) is that increasing wind power generation results in decreases in CO2 emissions. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for "renewable" energy to "reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector" (see s3). But, somewhere … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
Angus Taylor: Coalition set to kill the wind industry, while supporting rooftop solar
With the wind industry reeling after the RET review panel delivered its recommendation to slam the door shut on any more wind farms (see our post here), it’s sought to whip up support for the mandatory RET by enlisting the usual band of useful Marxist idiots (like GetUp! and 350.org) to rally a band of … Continue reading Angus Taylor: Coalition set to kill the wind industry, while supporting rooftop solar
Wind Power: The Parasitic Power Producer
**** Promoting Parasitic Power Producers carbon-sense.com Viv Forbes 17 July 2014 Wind and solar are parasitic power producers, unable to survive in a modern electricity grid without the back-up of stand-alone electricity generators such as hydro, coal, gas or nuclear. And like all parasites, they weaken their hosts, causing increased operating and transmission costs and … Continue reading Wind Power: The Parasitic Power Producer
Reliance on Wind Power: Playing a Lethal Game
A power generation system that can’t produce power on demand is no system at all. Wind power – entirely dependent on the weather – has consistently proven itself incapable of supplying meaningful power - requiring 100% of its capacity to be backed up by fossil fuel generation sources 100% of the time, both here (see … Continue reading Reliance on Wind Power: Playing a Lethal Game
The Economic Storage of Wind Power is a Pipe-Dream
**** The wind industry is the perpetual infant of power generation: always looking for the subsidies to last that little bit longer; always promising to improve its performance; always claiming it will outdo hydro, coal and gas – provided, of course, that the subsidies keep flowing. STT for one thinks the wind industry has had … Continue reading The Economic Storage of Wind Power is a Pipe-Dream
Of Unicorns & Pink Elephants: “Reliance” on Wind Power is Pure “Green” Fantasy
When it comes to their demand for electricity, the power consumer has a couple of basic needs: when they hit the light switch they assume illumination will shortly follow and that when the kettle is kicked into gear it’ll be boiling soon thereafter. And the power consumer assumes that these – and similar actions in … Continue reading Of Unicorns & Pink Elephants: “Reliance” on Wind Power is Pure “Green” Fantasy
Subsidising Wind Power: A Sure-Fire Job Killer
*** As the wind industry gravy train shudders to a halt in Australia, the wind industry and its parasites are working overtime to garner support for retention of the completely unsustainable 41,000 GWh mandatory Renewable Energy Target. One of the “pitches” being made is that winding back the RET will cost tens of thousands of … Continue reading Subsidising Wind Power: A Sure-Fire Job Killer
Professor Ross McKitrick: Wind turbines don’t run on wind, they run on subsidies.
As STT followers are acutely aware, wind power is an economic and environmental fraud. Because wind power can only ever be delivered at crazy, random intervals - and, therefore, never "on-demand" - it will never be a substitute for those generation sources which are - ie hydro, nuclear, gas and coal (see our posts here … Continue reading Professor Ross McKitrick: Wind turbines don’t run on wind, they run on subsidies.
Oklahomans Launch Pre-Emptive Legal Action to Prevent Wind Farm Construction
**** For most non-Okies, their appreciation of the glories of life on the great prairies of Oklahoma comes from Gordon Macrae (as Curly) – bathed in “a bright golden haze on the meadow” and crooning from a fine looking mount about what was clearly a very “beautiful morning”. While Curly waxed lyrically about seeing stratospheric … Continue reading Oklahomans Launch Pre-Emptive Legal Action to Prevent Wind Farm Construction
