Eco-zealots, like Bill McKibben reckon rural folk just can’t wait to get 240m high wind turbines whirling in their backyard; and that if they express any resistance to such a ‘golden opportunity’, it’s all down to the nefarious activities of ‘evil’ fossil fuel overlords and right wingers spreading “misinformation” about how wonderful it is … Continue reading Not In Anyone’s Backyard: The Truth Behind Rural America’s Great Wind & Solar Backlash

Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
In the mother of all ironies, Europe’s wind and sun cult are complaining about uncooperative weather. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather. Which, in reality, means little or nothing by way of output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of … Continue reading Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
When the wind industry fiasco inevitably grinds to a halt sometime in the next decade, those that entertained it – be it gullible farmers who traded 30 pieces of silver to destroy their communities or the local governments that rubber-stamped the planning applications that permitted it – are going to be left with a monumental cleanup … Continue reading Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
While discovering electricity was part insight, superstition and serendipity, harnessing it for good came down to the laws of physics and sound engineering. Exciting as it might be, feeling your hair stand up during an electrical storm was never going to alter the course of human affairs. Whereas the ability to generate and then deliver … Continue reading Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
Kill Zone: German Study Proves Wind Turbines Slaughter Millions of Bats Every Year
Wind power outfits can't guarantee power when you need it, but their turbines rarely miss an opportunity to slaughter birds or bats silly enough to enter their bloody kill zone. The wind power cult has no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste … Continue reading Kill Zone: German Study Proves Wind Turbines Slaughter Millions of Bats Every Year
Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Spreading millions of solar panels and spearing thousands of wind turbines far and wide doesn’t make sense, at any level. Intermittent and diffuse energy sources do not represent progress in the state of human affairs; that was the way of the world pre-Industrial Revolution - science, enterprise and engineering made all that a part of … Continue reading Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Not So Cheap: You’re Paying Colossal Cost Of Climate Cult’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Their self-inflated 'virtue' has a price, and you’re paying it, every red cent of it. That last jaw-dropping power bill has their fingerprints all over it. So do the occasions when thousands are left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark; when cash-strapped businesses are forced to sack staff to cut their overheads so they … Continue reading Not So Cheap: You’re Paying Colossal Cost Of Climate Cult’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Time For Launch: Best Place For Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Is Way Out Of This World
There is no place on earth for meaningless power generation sources, especially giant industrial wind turbines. Talk about finding appropriate places for them usually boils down to the type of character who says she is all in favour of renewable energy, just not in her backyard. STT has always held the view there is no … Continue reading Time For Launch: Best Place For Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Is Way Out Of This World
