Much to the horror of wind power promoters, all eyes are on Germany at the minute, with its wind industry in freefall, turbine manufacturers in ruin and rural residents in revolt. In 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore [a figure of 325 is given below which apparently includes offshore turbines] and a trifling … Continue reading German Resistance: Furious Rural Residents Bring Wind Farm Construction to Dead Halt

Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster
Because RE zealots crowed about Germany’s ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar from the outset, it’s no surprise that its disastrous conclusion is attracting attention, much like a freeway pileup. Germany’s so-called Energiewende (energy transition) has turned into a power pricing and supply calamity. Which was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Jonathan … Continue reading Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster
Down Tools: Australia’s Most Powerful Workers Union Rejects Unreliable Wind & Solar
Labor – aka the ‘Workers Party’ – remains determined to destroy whole industries and thousands of jobs with a 50% RET and a giant ‘carbon’ tax. Business and job destroying policies that helped it comfortably lose the ‘unloseable’ Federal election in May, and which its deluded front bench simply can’t bear to let go. Australian … Continue reading Down Tools: Australia’s Most Powerful Workers Union Rejects Unreliable Wind & Solar
Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
Australia’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity has just got serious; very serious. Managing electricity grids is a finely balanced affair, requiring the ability to control what goes in and what goes out on a second-by-second basis. The generation and distribution of electricity was relatively simple when synchronous, dispatchable conventional generation sources (in Australia, coal, gas … Continue reading Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
Money For Nothing: Scotland’s Wind Farms Earn More Revenue When They’re Turned Off!!
The fact that Scotland’s wind farms have pocketed £650m for not generating power has attracted more than just a little attention. STT has run several stories over the last few months about wind power outfits being paid very handsomely to NOT generate electricity. Perhaps it’s the sense of outrage that comes with knowing a group … Continue reading Money For Nothing: Scotland’s Wind Farms Earn More Revenue When They’re Turned Off!!
If Wind & Solar Are So Cheap, Why Are Germans Paying World’s Highest Power Prices?
Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie: Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices And, with a looming capacity crunch, Germans will be lucky to have power at all, at any … Continue reading If Wind & Solar Are So Cheap, Why Are Germans Paying World’s Highest Power Prices?
Ripped Off: How Wind & Solar Industries Rigged Power Markets & Power Consumers Pay
The wind and solar ‘industries’ produce plenty of power when no one needs it and often fail to produce it when everybody does. The fact that they can’t deliver as and when power consumers demand electricity, means that power consumers pay - whether in the form of massive subsidies, Feed-in-tariffs, soft loans and government guaranteed … Continue reading Ripped Off: How Wind & Solar Industries Rigged Power Markets & Power Consumers Pay
Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar was never going to end well. Power prices are now the highest in Europe, if not the world. But paying for power is only a problem for those Germans who are lucky enough to be supplied with it. Wherever there’s an attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, … Continue reading Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Total Shutdown: German Revolt Against Industrial Wind Power Brings Wind Farm Construction to Standstill
The German wind industry is in free-fall: new construction is at a standstill, in no small part due to the fact that rural Germans are in full-scale revolt against the wind industry. In 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Tens of thousands of those … Continue reading Total Shutdown: German Revolt Against Industrial Wind Power Brings Wind Farm Construction to Standstill
Full-Steam Ahead: China Rejects Wind & Solar Power and Heads For Coal-Fired Future
No industrial economy has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes; no country ever will. Wherever in the world the subsidies begin to dry up, so too has investment in new wind and solar capacity. Nowhere has that collapse been more prominent than in China. Which doesn’t quite fit with the meme that’s been run … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: China Rejects Wind & Solar Power and Heads For Coal-Fired Future
