Because every MW of wind power capacity is matched with a MW of reliable coal, gas or nuclear power, the ‘case’ for subsidised wind will never add up Generating electricity 30% of the time - albeit that wind power outfits can never tell you in advance which 30% of the time that might be - … Continue reading Numerical Nonsense: Why The Case For Intermittent Wind Power Never Adds Up

Boris Johnson’s Bizarre Persistence With Unreliable Wind Power Defies All Logic & Reason
Insanity is doing that same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is why STT raises an eyebrow (or two) at Boris Johnson’s persistent love affair with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power. His belief that taking it all offshore will make a difference, only confirms that this man has a … Continue reading Boris Johnson’s Bizarre Persistence With Unreliable Wind Power Defies All Logic & Reason
Eagles Go Legal: Audubon Society Sues to Shutdown California’s Golden Eagle Mincers
The rampant slaughter of millions of birds and bats, including America’s iconic bald and golden eagles, is met with a shrug by wind power acolytes, everywhere. When confronted, the wind industry simply resorts to lies and obfuscation and – when the corpses can no longer be hidden and the lying fails – issue court proceedings in … Continue reading Eagles Go Legal: Audubon Society Sues to Shutdown California’s Golden Eagle Mincers
Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling
If ‘green’ means squandering the world’s resources, then wind and solar fit the bill, but if it’s about ‘saving the planet’, then they’re an almighty fraud. Having operated in this space since December 2012, when it comes to wind and solar industry spin and propaganda, STT has seen it all and heard it all. Wind … Continue reading Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling
Wanton Waste: World’s Largest Wind Farm = World’s Largest White Elephant
Want to make a small fortune? Then take a large one and put it into offshore wind power. The costs of generating sporadic electricity using wind are staggering; doing so offshore makes them astronomical. And, it seems, the bigger the boondoggle, the more costly it becomes for the unwitting taxpayers, who are always left to … Continue reading Wanton Waste: World’s Largest Wind Farm = World’s Largest White Elephant
Energy Deficient: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Faces Long Dark Winter
With another bitter winter biting and suicidal renewable energy policies, Germans are reaping the whirlwind. Suffering Europe’s highest power prices and routine power rationing, is just the beginning. Mass blackouts and deliberate power cuts, like those suffered last winter, are guaranteed. Such is life when you attempt to run on sunshine and breezes. Prof. Fritz … Continue reading Energy Deficient: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Faces Long Dark Winter
Monumental Design Fail: Industrial Wind Turbines Simply Can’t Handle High Winds
When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. It’s as if their designers included Goldilocks, the porridge thief who wanted things “just right” and snubbed her nose at all that wasn't. Modern industrial wind turbines do not … Continue reading Monumental Design Fail: Industrial Wind Turbines Simply Can’t Handle High Winds
UK’s Costly Grid Chaos Continues, As Wind Power Continually Fails to Deliver
Start placing serious reliance on wind power and you can safely place your bets on daily disappointment. Such it is in Britain, with month upon month of pitiful performance from its fleet of whirling wonders. During most of September and into October, Europe’s wind farms were the victims of the Big Calm. The Wind Gods … Continue reading UK’s Costly Grid Chaos Continues, As Wind Power Continually Fails to Deliver
Enough is Enough: After Nearly 40 Years It’s Time to Slash Massive Subsidies to Wind & Solar
One thing you’ll never, ever hear from the crony capitalists profiting from wind and solar is a call to cut the subsidies that sustain them. Remarkably, whether in Germany, Australia, the States or Europe renewables rent seekers all speak the same language. When talk turns to subsidies, you’ll only ever hear words like ‘more’. Challenge … Continue reading Enough is Enough: After Nearly 40 Years It’s Time to Slash Massive Subsidies to Wind & Solar
COP’s Compassion Deficit: Global Elite’s Monstrous Contempt for World’s Poorest
The political class that trumpet global warming as the singular threat to life on earth, clearly hate the poor. Their obsession with subsidising expensive and utterly unreliable wind and solar has already put electrical power out of the reach of the poorest in first world countries, and would, if they could, render it an exclusive … Continue reading COP’s Compassion Deficit: Global Elite’s Monstrous Contempt for World’s Poorest
