Raising a raft of unnecessary danger, the wind industry’s body count currently stands at 192. Flying blades, collapsing and/or self-immolating towers account for their fair share of corpses. But those that take to the air, shouldn’t overlook the number of pilots and their passengers who’ve come to grief, thanks to a wind turbine or their … Continue reading Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power

Climate Terrorism: Mainstream Media Waging War on Common Sense & Reason
Australian voters recently rejected a massive increase in wind and solar and voted in favour of the Queensland coal industry. And yet, plenty in the mainstream media continue to act as if the Green/Labor Alliance had, in fact, won the Federal election in May. Never let the facts get the way of a deluded narrative, … Continue reading Climate Terrorism: Mainstream Media Waging War on Common Sense & Reason
Nuclear Necessity: Solution to Australia’s Energy Debacle Means Nurturing Nuclear Now
Until recently it was a brave MP who dared to drop the ‘N’ word in public, now they’re shouting about nuclear power from the rooftops. STT thinks a couple of things might be responsible for the rapid shift in attitudes. As STT followers are no doubt aware, Australia is the only G20 nation to not … Continue reading Nuclear Necessity: Solution to Australia’s Energy Debacle Means Nurturing Nuclear Now
Rational Reaction: Australian Unions Back Nuclear Powered Future
That Australia, an energy superpower, could back never-reliable wind and solar over ever-reliable nuclear power, astonishes the sane and rational. Especially as the Lucky Country’s known uranium resources are the world’s largest – almost one-third of the world total. Notwithstanding that glorious abundance, Australia banned nuclear power generation a generation ago. There are no nuclear … Continue reading Rational Reaction: Australian Unions Back Nuclear Powered Future
Guaranteed ‘Green’ Energy Punishment: US Renewable Portfolio Standards Send Power Prices Soaring
That reliance on chaotically intermittent wind and solar sends power prices into orbit is no surprise to a German, South Australian or Dane. That RE obsessed trio slug it out for the honour of suffering the world’s highest power prices (see above). Try as they might, RE zealots simply can’t escape the bleeding obvious: South … Continue reading Guaranteed ‘Green’ Energy Punishment: US Renewable Portfolio Standards Send Power Prices Soaring
Menace to Society: Costly, Chaotic Wind Power Delivers Nothing But Community Division & Bird & Bat Carnage
Anyone looking for reasons to hate wind power, is spoiled for choice. Heavily subsidised, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human beings developed, harnessed and perfected thermal … Continue reading Menace to Society: Costly, Chaotic Wind Power Delivers Nothing But Community Division & Bird & Bat Carnage
Reality Check: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
30 years, $trillions in subsidies and yet the combined output of wind and solar amounts to little more than a rounding error. Most sane adults would call that a monumental F-A-I-L. Meanwhile, ever reliable coal-fired power just keeps on delivering, where never-reliable wind and solar deliver nothing but a subsidy stream to their rent-seeking owners. … Continue reading Reality Check: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Nuclear No-Brainer: Why Australia’s Ban on Nuclear Power Generation Defies Common Sense & Logic
Every day we’re bombarded with warnings about CO2 incinerating the planet, wiping out entire species and otherwise spoiling our day. For those subscribing to the ‘end is nigh’ scenario, all that seems fair enough. But what doesn’t stand much scrutiny is the fact that the planet’s doomsayers run silent on the need for nuclear … Continue reading Nuclear No-Brainer: Why Australia’s Ban on Nuclear Power Generation Defies Common Sense & Logic
Rent-Seeker Rage: Wind & Solar Lobbies Outraged as Energy Minister Signals Sundown for Subsidies
Death and taxes are certainties, then there’s the certainty of rent-seeker outrage when subsidies to wind and solar are cut or even threatened. The wind back in subsidies across Europe has all but destroyed the wind industry: in Germany this year a trifling 60 onshore wind turbines have been erected, so far. Twelve countries … Continue reading Rent-Seeker Rage: Wind & Solar Lobbies Outraged as Energy Minister Signals Sundown for Subsidies
Renewable Energy Rejection: Australia’s Election Result Demonstrates Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power
The “shock” Federal election result represents a new dawn for reliable and affordable power generation in Australia. The 2019 election was billed as a referendum on Climate Change, with Labor’s Bill Shorten pitching up a 50% Renewable Energy Target and a whopping carbon dioxide gas tax, to boot. Bill also promised that he would eradicate … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rejection: Australia’s Election Result Demonstrates Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power
