Germans have woken up to the horrendous fact that their renewables rush has left them with an electricity grid on the brink of collapse, soaring power prices and that it was all for nothing. Instead of reducing CO2 emissions, the Germans have spent €billions subsidising thousands of giant fans and - despite the grandest of … Continue reading Wind Power: All Pain & NO Gain

Herald Sun’s Terry McCrann: “The Climate Spectator’s a joke!”
**** The Herald Sun’s leading numbers man, Terry McCrann is clearly on the STT team – he came out swinging a while back with a call to can the fans - in no uncertain terms (see our post here).

Brits put All their Eggs in the Wind Power Basket
Having slung up thousands of giant fans the Brits now face a brewing energy crisis. Britain has thrown £billions in subsidies at wind power and has clearly put way too many eggs in the same (nonsensical) basket.

How to Steal Someone’s Home – with Government help
A few posts back we looked at how Scottish wind weasels are all set for another round of Highland Clearances - effectively stealing Scots’ homes before their very eyes. Well, it seems weasels south of the Scottish border are all set to do the same.

German Wind Power does what the Dambusters couldn’t do
**** On the night of 16/17 May 1943, RAF No. 617 Squadron aka the “Dambusters” set out in 19 Avro Lancaster MKIII bombers armed with Barnes Wallis’s revolutionary bouncing bomb - in what was called Operation Chastise. The purpose of the famous raid was to attack 3 major dams on the Ruhr in Germany: the … Continue reading German Wind Power does what the Dambusters couldn’t do
Now That Ain’t Workin’, That’s the Way You Do It
**** British wind weasels have taken Mark Knopfler’s ode to indolent, but loaded, rock stars quite literally and are clearly out to “Get their money for nothing and their chicks for free.” Here’s The Telegraph on the latest UK wind scam.

Wind Power: Britain’s Supersized Gamble with its Future
**** Britain’s political betters have set it up for one enormous gamble. Britain is wagering its entire economic future on its - out of control - wind power boondoggle. The Economist reports on the INSANE cost of delivering offshore wind power - where generators are guaranteed obscene returns - being able to charge “three times … Continue reading Wind Power: Britain’s Supersized Gamble with its Future
Why South Australians Pay the World’s Highest Power Prices
**** South Australia is "blessed" with energy market gurus like Labor's Mark Butler - who loves giant fans and is currently fighting a rear-guard action to save the RET (or, more to the point, the huge wind farm investments held by Union Super funds run by his mates, like Greg Combet and Gary Weaven). His … Continue reading Why South Australians Pay the World’s Highest Power Prices
Wind Power: the “Joke” that just isn’t funny anymore
**** South-Eastern Australia enjoyed a few typically warm summers days last week and the weather pattern saw wind power output collapse - as it does more than 100 times every year. In our post yesterday we covered the resulting spike in wholesale power prices and “load-shedding” that saw small business owners in Victoria’s coastal tourist … Continue reading Wind Power: the “Joke” that just isn’t funny anymore
Don’t Say “We Didn’t Warn You”
**** “Risible”: provoking laughter through being ludicrous. That’s a pretty fair summation of Australia’s so-called “wind industry" in the week just gone. It would be, except, wind power was pitched as a reliable replacement for on-demand power generation sources (like coal, hydro and gas) and a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions. Our political betters … Continue reading Don’t Say “We Didn’t Warn You”
