Wind Power: Buying a Dog, but getting Sold a Pup

How many times have we believed the salesman’s pitch - got home and unwrapped our purchase - only to be disappointed when we discover that we’d spent our hard earned cash on a complete lemon? Ending up with a frisky and inexperienced pup, when we’ve shelled out for a well-trained dog is always disappointing. Wind … Continue reading Wind Power: Buying a Dog, but getting Sold a Pup

Wind Power Myths BUSTED

**** As the Australian wind industry’s house of cards collapses, its parasites and paid spruikers - like the Clean Energy Council - have been working up a real sweat in their efforts to make a case for the retention of the mandatory Renewable Energy Target - upon which that house of cards entirely depends.

Australian Wind Industry’s House of Cards Collapsing

**** With Australia’s wind industry in its death throes, STT has already given fair warning to bankers, investors and shareholders with so much as a cent in wind power companies to grab their cash and get out as fast they can (see our post here). All-wind-power-outfits - like our favourite whipping boys, Infigen - are … Continue reading Australian Wind Industry’s House of Cards Collapsing

Dick Warburton: is the RET worth the Pain inflicted on Families & Business?

Danish Fan Maker Vestas Run by Crooks – and that’s a FACT

**** Does anyone remember Vestas? The struggling Danish fan maker used to be a “big player” in Australia’s wind industry – having sold hundreds of its turbines here.

Slash Wind Power Subsidies & Bring Power Prices Back to Earth

With Australia’s wind industry gasping its last breath, their hired spruikers at the Clean Energy Council have taken to peddling the incredible tale that wind power has led to a REDUCTION in our power bills.

Time to let the RET Review Panel Know What You Think

As STT’s loyal followers know, Australia is all set to decouple itself from the international economic suicide pact entered when gullible and unwitting governments all over the world signed up to ludicrously expensive and utterly pointless renewables policies.

Wind Power in Britain: it’s Robin Hood in Reverse

A while back, there was a plucky young English lad, called Robin Hood, who was pretty handy with both long-bow and sword; and so comfortable with expressing his “feminine side” that he wasn’t afraid to be seen in figure hugging green tights. Hood hung out with his band of Merry Men in Sherwood Forest, dodging … Continue reading Wind Power in Britain: it’s Robin Hood in Reverse

Wind Power Investors: Get Out While You Can

**** For anyone still foolish enough to have their hard earned cash invested in wind power companies the warnings to grab your money and run couldn’t be louder or clearer.

Joe Hockey keen to scrap Infigen’s “utterly offensive” Lake George Wind Farm

**** In our last post we covered the Alan Jone’s interview with Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey that’s sent the wind industry and its parasites into a tailspin. Apart from the fact that Joe detests the very sight of these things, the Treasurer made it abundantly clear that when the Coalition talks about ending the “age … Continue reading Joe Hockey keen to scrap Infigen’s “utterly offensive” Lake George Wind Farm
