When the bulk of your power needs are supposed to come from sunshine and breezes, get ready for a lot of disappointment. Total collapses in wind and solar output routinely lead to large-scale, controlled blackouts - euphemistically known as ‘demand management’. Where smart meters are in play, the grid manager helpfully does it for you; … Continue reading Renewables Transition: ‘Demand Management’ Means Accepting Bribes to Suffer Blackouts

Wind Power Collapses During Calm Weather Means Soaring Power Prices & Power Rationing
The British like to ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’, but panic sets in when calm weather hits and wind power output hits the floor. What follows is another round of opportunistic price gouging by the owners of Britain’s gas-fired power plants, and remaining coal-fired plants, able to charge ludicrous amounts for electricity simply because they’re … Continue reading Wind Power Collapses During Calm Weather Means Soaring Power Prices & Power Rationing
Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)
South Australia’s infamous Statewide blackout on 28 September 2016 was caused by wind turbines that couldn’t handle a vigorous spring storm front. Wind speeds exceeded 25m/s (90km/h), which meant turbines at the bulk of its (then 18) wind farms shut down automatically to protect themselves from catastrophic self-destruction. Metropolitan Adelaide was without power for hours, … Continue reading Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)
Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means End of Reliable & Affordable Power – Forever
The destruction of once reliable and affordable electricity supplies is so evidently deliberate, it can no longer be put down to ignorance, alone. Nothing but brazen ideology sits beneath the claim that we are a heartbeat away from a transition to an all wind and sun powered future. We are continually told that, putting aside … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means End of Reliable & Affordable Power – Forever
Murder – Not Suicide: Europe’s Renewable Energy Policy Threatens Lives & Livelihoods
When it comes to Europe’s wind and solar disaster, ignorance is no longer a defence. As STT has been pointing out for over a decade, the power pricing and supply calamity that follows any serious effort to rely on wind and solar is the only thing ‘inevitable’ about the so-called ‘transition’. What’s happened in Germany, … Continue reading Murder – Not Suicide: Europe’s Renewable Energy Policy Threatens Lives & Livelihoods
Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when households and businesses need it, has absolutely no commercial value. Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Renewable Energy Madness: Why Net-Zero CO2 Targets Herald New Miserable Dark Age
Wisdom comes with experience: people soon wise up to the reality of the wind and solar ‘transition’ once they’ve spent time freezing or boiling in the dark. Over time, the experience will be shared by more of our compatriots on planet Earth. Obsessive, indeed maniacal, renewable energy policies are a guarantee of crippling power bills … Continue reading Renewable Energy Madness: Why Net-Zero CO2 Targets Herald New Miserable Dark Age
‘Green’ Energy Myth Exposed: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Built On Perpetual Lies
The wind and solar industries were founded on myth, built on lies and run on subsidies. The only thing they are capable of producing on a consistent basis are Pinocchio-style whoppers, starting with the notion that wind and solar power are actually good for the environment. Breached promises about delivering power on demand are met … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Myth Exposed: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Built On Perpetual Lies
Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Intermittent wind and solar are a guarantee of rocketing power prices and rocketing power prices are a guarantee of economic destruction. An energy-hungry world will never satisfy its needs by pinning consumers’ hopes on the weather. But that’s the model that our political betters have been pushing over the last 20 years. How we landed … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Wind Power’s Woeful Performance Causing Blackouts & Mass Load Shedding
Wind and solar acolytes fail to mention that the ‘inevitable transition’ includes hours spent sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Power rationing by postcode is the new normal in Australia, as grid managers attempt to deal with the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. Former energy users are being encouraged not to use energy … Continue reading Wind Power’s Woeful Performance Causing Blackouts & Mass Load Shedding
