Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson's plan to ‘power’ Britain on wishes, sunshine and breezes is more like Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole. Intriguing and fascinating, yes. But also a complete and utter fantasy. The concept smacks of delusion, at every level. Neil Collins tackles the topic from the economic perspective. This green fantasy will bankrupt us … Continue reading Economically Unhinged: Bonkers Boris Johnson’s Green Fantasy Guaranteed to Bankrupt Britain

Enough is Enough: Time to Pull the Plug on Endless Wind & Solar Subsidies
No subsidies. No wind and solar industries. It’s that simple. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 36 years ago. And … Continue reading Enough is Enough: Time to Pull the Plug on Endless Wind & Solar Subsidies
Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust
Throwing their blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong to former Greens leaders, like Dr … Continue reading Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust
Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
Tasmania’s recent announcement that it is being powered 100% of the time by renewable energy is so much fake news. Tasmania does, indeed, have enviable hydropower resources, which Tasmania can fairly claim to be a “renewable energy source”. However, Tasmania suffers severe droughts - just like every other part of Australia. And, when it … Continue reading Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
War of The Walds: Germany’s Forests Overrun With Wind Turbines in Dystopian ‘Green’ Nightmare
Germany’s landscape has been carpeted with more than 30,000 gigantic industrial wind turbines: the result is a dystopian nightmare, reminiscent of HG Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Except that the battle is being waged in towns and villages and most visibly in the German walds - with whole forests being clear-felled to make way … Continue reading War of The Walds: Germany’s Forests Overrun With Wind Turbines in Dystopian ‘Green’ Nightmare
Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Wind and solar don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they’re powered by massive and endless subsidies. Remove the subsidies and both so-called ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat. The perpetual claims about wind and solar competing with dispatchable generation sources, such as coal, gas and nuclear, ring hollow when talk turns to reducing the … Continue reading Wind & Solar Scam Always and Everywhere About Massive & Endless Subsidies
Starry-Eyed Dreams v Economic Reality: Why The Wind Industry’s Numbers Can Never Stack Up
Take away the massive subsidies, guaranteed fixed price contracts, soft loans, mandated targets, etc and the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat. Those matters, all the product of meddling governments, are the only reason we are having this discussion, at all. After 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies - redirected … Continue reading Starry-Eyed Dreams v Economic Reality: Why The Wind Industry’s Numbers Can Never Stack Up
Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
After 30 years of operation, enterprises that would collapse overnight without massive subsidies ain’t “industries” - which is what wind and large-scale solar outfits spuriously claim to be. And when RE rent seekers talk about their “sustainable” business model, that’s just code for ensuring that those massive subsidies outlast religion. Following that theme, Robert Bradley … Continue reading Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
Peak Stupid: Bizarre Plan to Carpet Australian Desert With Thousands of Wind Turbines & Solar Panels
In more proof that 2020 was the year that we reached ‘peak stupid’, renewable energy rent seekers have topped them all with a plan to convert chaotically intermittent wind and solar into hydrogen, then to convert that into ammonia for shipping, and then back into hydrogen for use in a market that doesn’t exist. You … Continue reading Peak Stupid: Bizarre Plan to Carpet Australian Desert With Thousands of Wind Turbines & Solar Panels
Renewables Can’t Save the Planet, So Why Let Wind & Solar Industries Keep Destroying It?
A moment’s employment of our critical faculties reveals just why wind and solar will never be meaningful power sources. STT is dedicated to explaining why. But, for the uninitiated, we’ll simply mention sunset and calm weather as the most obvious starting points. Explaining how readily the naïve and gullible have been taken in by … Continue reading Renewables Can’t Save the Planet, So Why Let Wind & Solar Industries Keep Destroying It?
