Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
No country went harder and faster with its renewable obsession than Germany. The rocketing power prices that inevitably followed are crushing its once thriving industries, including motor manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz. The idea that a critical input cost to manufacturing can be tripled without affecting profitability and employment is, as any student of that dismal … Continue reading Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
Service Failure: Australians Swelter During Summer Heatwave Because Intermittent Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Deliver

Busted: Irish Wind Project Slammed For Breaching EU Environmental Directives
It’s a rare and beautiful thing when wind power outfits have their feet held to the fire. Writing their own set of rules and riding roughshod over locals has been the standard mode of operation for the wind industry, from the get go. STT recently reported on the Irish government’s very own turbine troubles: it … Continue reading Busted: Irish Wind Project Slammed For Breaching EU Environmental Directives

Colossal Carnage: US Wind Industry Killing More Than 1,000,000 Birds & Bats Every Year
The polished hypocrisy among those slavish worshippers of wind power is breathtaking. The wind industry is slaughtering millions of birds and bats every year and yet there’s barely a peep from these faux environmentalists. Sure, as James Taylor points out below, there’s the usual rubbish they dish up about skyscrapers killing more birds than … Continue reading Colossal Carnage: US Wind Industry Killing More Than 1,000,000 Birds & Bats Every Year
Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
Add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and rocketing prices are guaranteed. The Danes know it, the Germans know it and South Australians became the butt of international jokes, because of it. The relationship couldn’t be clearer: see above the pertinent little graphic from Dr Michael Crawford, which says it … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
Fact Check: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Replace Fossil Fuels
The wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies and run on subsidies. As to the former, for more than 20 years a phalanx of propagandists has worked overtime to literally turn night into day. Lines like the ‘wind is always blowing somewhere’, ‘sunset’s not a problem’, this ‘wind farm will power XXX hundred thousand … Continue reading Fact Check: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Replace Fossil Fuels
Terrible Twins: Subsidised Wind & Solar Guaranteed Grid and Market Wreckers
Adding unreliable and intermittent wind and solar to your grid is like inviting Tasmanian devils to a baby shower; sit back and get ready for total chaos.

Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value. Indeed, when the gales rip across the Scottish Highlands and there’s a surfeit of wind power generated, that electricity can’t even be given away. Instead, taxpayers become the ‘buyers’ of last resort; not that they could never be called willing purchasers, … Continue reading Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power
