Money ain’t no “cure”

Guest writer, Jackie Rovensky, is renowned on STT for her comments, which stand out for their erudition, composition and unassailable logic. Here's Jackie in response to our favourite tobacco advertising guru who - once again - has elected to step well out of his limited area of "expertise". Jackie pops him neatly back into his … Continue reading Money ain’t no “cure”

Richard Paltridge – one man’s battle

Battling wind weasels, like Acciona, in Court has its own "special" charm - just ask Richard Paltridge. Dick won - his landmark planning case in South Australia, but his opponents - including the rotten little Rann, State Labor Government - pulled every slimy trick in the book along the way. Acciona - the subject of … Continue reading Richard Paltridge – one man’s battle

Hell hath no fury like Anne Schafer scorned

**** A few posts back we covered the excellent survey put together by STT Champion, Anne Schafer on the growing public health disaster at AGL's Macarthur wind farm. The turbine noise levels generated not only breach the conditions of AGL's planning consent, but drive the locals nuts night, after sleepless night. Non-compliant wind farms, like … Continue reading Hell hath no fury like Anne Schafer scorned

Sick Again – motion sickness sufferers cop it worst from giant fans

The bi-annual Wind Turbine Noise Conference was held in Denver, in August 2013. The conference is hosted by ICEN: Europe (International Institute of Noise Control Engineering) and looked at 79 research papers about wind turbine noise around the themes of: Low frequency noise and infrasound: Measurements and effects Amplitude modulation Instrumentation Effects of WTN on individuals … Continue reading Sick Again – motion sickness sufferers cop it worst from giant fans

Up in Smoke

So much for wind power "saving the planet" - fossil fuel suppliers are watching their diesel sales soar as it becomes the fuel of choice for the back-up generation needed when wind-watts go missing - an inconvenient fact covered in Bobby thumbed a “Diesel” down …. You could say green dreams are going "Up in Smoke". … Continue reading Up in Smoke

Bobby thumbed a “Diesel” down …

**** Taking the wind power fraud to new lows in hypocrisy, pointlessness and infantile stupidity, it seems that every shark in the pond is ready to cash in when the wind stops blowing. STT has covered the consequences of wind power going AWOL over 100 times each year - as peaking power plants jump into … Continue reading Bobby thumbed a “Diesel” down …

Never Mind the Bollocks – here’s Vestas

Struggling Danish turbine outfit Vestas went on the rampage after the National Rally with a campaign to counteract known and obvious facts (to anyone with half-a-brain - that is) with crackers such as the wind is NOT intermittent; families with young children can't wait to have a swag of V112s go up in their back … Continue reading Never Mind the Bollocks – here’s Vestas

Monsters Inc

**** STT gets lots of mail from communities set upon by the highly paid goons hired by wind weasels - the theme is universal and it ain't positive. These boys - yes they're mostly boys (figuratively and literally - in an intellectual sense) - have a sense of confidence that is hardly ever justified by … Continue reading Monsters Inc

Hello – This is London

**** Reverberations continue to rock the World after STT’s recent research coup that dug up a pile of highly relevant work which our pathetic little NHMRC failed to find - or – perhaps - simply buried as an “inconvenient truth”. We like to think it’s a bit like the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa – the … Continue reading Hello – This is London

What wind swindlers always knew about turbine noise – the technical stuff

**** In our last post we covered the Graham Lloyd piece in The Australian on what the wind weasels have always known about infrasound and low frequency noise from giant fans and the impacts on neighbouring victims. We don't like to gloat - but it was one of our research team that dug up the … Continue reading What wind swindlers always knew about turbine noise – the technical stuff
