China’s has lost quite a few friends thanks to a virus, but it’s their efforts to infiltrate and undermine Western powers that have spooked the USA and others about what its Communist Party is really up to. Recent efforts by the CCP controlled Chinese Guanghui Industry Investment Group to snaffle vast tracts of Texas, with … Continue reading Get Smart: China’s CCP Aiming to Use Wind Farms as Backdoor To Wreck US Power Grid

Pure Nonsense: No Economic Case for Converting Wind or Solar Power To Hydrogen Gas
Converting excess wind and solar to hydrogen gas is the Federal government’s most ludicrous ‘answer’ to its self-inflicted renewable energy debacle. The majority of hydrogen available on the market (around 95%) is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming or partial oxidation of methane and coal gasification with only a tiny fraction produced by way … Continue reading Pure Nonsense: No Economic Case for Converting Wind or Solar Power To Hydrogen Gas
All Uphill: Australia Squanders $10Billion on Giant Pumped Hydro Power White Elephant
Australia has its former PM, Malcolm Turnbull to thank for its largest and most expensive renewable energy boondoggle, the Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro project. Touted by the patrician and aloof Turnbull and his hapless sidekick, Josh Frydenberg as the Nation’s mega-battery, the heavily-hyped pumped hydro scheme (shelved in the 1970s because it was uneconomic then) … Continue reading All Uphill: Australia Squanders $10Billion on Giant Pumped Hydro Power White Elephant
S-O-S: Coal-Fired Power Only Answer to Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Faced with rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse, the Morrison Federal government remains committed to the policies that caused the debacle. Instead of ensuring the survival of Australia’s extensive coal-fired power fleet and building new High Efficiency Low Emissions coal-plants, the PM and his Energy Minister have selected a … Continue reading S-O-S: Coal-Fired Power Only Answer to Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Gassed Up: All-In Policy Brawl Over Renewables Driven Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
The adage that success has a thousand fathers, whereas failure’s an orphan applies to Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster, one that no one wants to own. The Federal Coalition’s ‘plan’ to power Australia with gas-fired power plants it has yet to build, with gas supplies it does not have, sounds more like the ‘last … Continue reading Gassed Up: All-In Policy Brawl Over Renewables Driven Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
No Future: Australia’s Renewable Energy Roadmap = Road To Economic Ruin & Despair
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity was entirely self-inflicted; the consequence of an obsession with heavily subsidised and totally unreliable wind and solar. The recent policy announcement by PM, Scott Morrison (referred to as his ‘Energy Roadmap’) is like using a Band-Aid to treat a severed leg. Everything that features as an ‘answer’ to … Continue reading No Future: Australia’s Renewable Energy Roadmap = Road To Economic Ruin & Despair
Slash & Burn: Environmentalists Start Counting Destructive Costs of Wind & Solar
Mike Moore’s Planet of The Humans revealed the wholesale environmental destruction caused by wind and solar; the climate cult naturally hated it. The scale of the environmental havoc caused giant wind and solar farms is out of all proportion to the economic benefits they provide; if any. Apart from the subsidies these so-called ‘industries’ attract, STT can’t think … Continue reading Slash & Burn: Environmentalists Start Counting Destructive Costs of Wind & Solar
Power Brawl: German Power Prices Rocket As Excess Wind & Solar Dumped On Neighbours
German energy policy is a fiasco; the so-called energy transition is a debacle. Germans suffer the highest power prices in Europe, all thanks to an obsession with intermittent wind and solar. When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, Germany is forced to import huge volumes of power from its neighbours, particularly nuclear-powered France … Continue reading Power Brawl: German Power Prices Rocket As Excess Wind & Solar Dumped On Neighbours
Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’ll soon all be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. Cynics might suggest that there’s a pretty strong correlation between wishful thinking and endless subsidies to wind and solar. But, apart from rent seeking crony capitalists, there’s still a fair proportion out there who … Continue reading Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
Ships Ahoy! Giant Diesel-Fuelled Ship Engines ‘Solution’ For Australia’s Renewable Energy Crisis
Australia’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar has left it with a power pricing and supply calamity. It’s a disaster that was as predictable, as it was avoidable. To date, the Federal Liberal/National Coalition’s feeble attempts to resolve it provide a study in practised inertia, mixed with a series of pointless Band-Aid ‘solutions’. … Continue reading Ships Ahoy!
