Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they blitz the field. At the heart of every Electric Vehicle, solar panel and wind turbine there’s … Continue reading Environment Wreckers: Wind & Solar Chewing Up World’s Resources At Astonishing Rate

Energy Insecurity: Biden’s Policies Leave Americans Vulnerable to Unreliable Wind & Solar
With the magnitude of the renewable energy-driven disaster playing out in Europe hard to ignore, it seems incredible that American Green New Deal Democrats remain fixated on chaotically intermittent wind and solar. And yet, they show no signs of relenting on their determined path to inevitable energy insecurity; an approach that borders on National treachery. … Continue reading Energy Insecurity: Biden’s Policies Leave Americans Vulnerable to Unreliable Wind & Solar
Fighting Back: Americans Unite To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds
With offshore wind power outfits wrecking their fishing grounds, America’s fishermen are fighting like their lives depend upon it. With assistance from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Rhode Island’s fishing community has issued proceedings in the Federal Court seeking to knockout the permits given to Vineyard Wind which, if left in place, will inevitably wreck … Continue reading Fighting Back: Americans Unite To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds
EV Collision Course: More Big Batteries Means More Major Environmental Destruction
Giant lithium-ion batteries are said to be the panacea for the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar; they’re also said to be the backbone for an all-Electric Vehicle future. Neither proposition stands a moment’s scrutiny. The true cost of energy storage using lithium-ion batteries is phenomenal, such that it will never match the scale needed … Continue reading EV Collision Course: More Big Batteries Means More Major Environmental Destruction
Landslide Decision: Communities Call For End to Wind Industry’s Environmental Destruction
The cowboys behind wind power outfits couldn’t care less whether they destroy your property values or simply destroy your property. Cutting engineering corners and avoiding planning regulations is all in a day’s work. The results are plain for neighbours to see: wanton habitat and environmental destruction, all in the name of ‘saving the planet’, of … Continue reading Landslide Decision: Communities Call For End to Wind Industry’s Environmental Destruction
Blade-Runners: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Discarded Turbine Blades Across America
Hundreds of thousands of wind turbine blades have already found their way into landfill, with millions more to follow. Bear in mind the wind industry has been with us for barely 20 years and most of the increase in (occasional) generating capacity has occurred in the last decade. And yet, thousands of blades are being … Continue reading Blade-Runners: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Discarded Turbine Blades Across America
Getting Away With ‘Green’ Murder: Wind Industry Destroying Vast Tracts of Australian Wilderness
Vast tracts of Australia’s tropical and sub-tropical forests are being destroyed to make way for giant industrial wind turbines. Running like a spine down the east coast of Australia, the Great Dividing Range is prime real estate for renewable energy rent-seekers, keen on spearing 260m high monsters into territory that tree huggers used to hold … Continue reading Getting Away With ‘Green’ Murder: Wind Industry Destroying Vast Tracts of Australian Wilderness
Billions of Wind Turbine Blades Built With Balsa Wood Stripped From Amazon’s Forests
Green groups are starting to rumble the fact that wind power ain’t so green, after all. Giant industrial wind turbines comprise hundreds of tonnes of steel, aluminium, plastics, copper and rare earths used in the generator’s magnets. There is also at least a tonne of gear oil and hydraulic fluid on board. And then there’s … Continue reading Billions of Wind Turbine Blades Built With Balsa Wood Stripped From Amazon’s Forests
Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling
If ‘green’ means squandering the world’s resources, then wind and solar fit the bill, but if it’s about ‘saving the planet’, then they’re an almighty fraud. Having operated in this space since December 2012, when it comes to wind and solar industry spin and propaganda, STT has seen it all and heard it all. Wind … Continue reading Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling
Not Right: Offshore Wind Turbines Threaten Endangered Atlantic Right Whales
The environmental destruction wreaked by offshore wind power is one almighty whale of a problem. While all power generation systems take a toll on the environment, it’s only the wind industry that claims moral superiority over all others. That tenuous claim – which rests on the ‘we’re saving the planet’ mantra chanted by the wind … Continue reading Not Right: Offshore Wind Turbines Threaten Endangered Atlantic Right Whales
