Because RE zealots crowed about Germany’s ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar from the outset, it’s no surprise that its disastrous conclusion is attracting attention, much like a freeway pileup. Germany’s so-called Energiewende (energy transition) has turned into a power pricing and supply calamity. Which was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Jonathan … Continue reading Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster

Time to Get Serious: Fretting About CO2? Then Nuclear Power’s The Only Solution
If you’ve tuned in to someone banging on about ‘carbon pollution’ (aka carbon dioxide gas) and they aren’t banging on about nuclear power, it’s time to tune out. STT promotes nuclear power because it works. Reliable, safe and affordable it’s the only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate carbon dioxide gas during the … Continue reading Time to Get Serious: Fretting About CO2? Then Nuclear Power’s The Only Solution
Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar was never going to end well. Power prices are now the highest in Europe, if not the world. But paying for power is only a problem for those Germans who are lucky enough to be supplied with it. Wherever there’s an attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, … Continue reading Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Total Shutdown: German Revolt Against Industrial Wind Power Brings Wind Farm Construction to Standstill
The German wind industry is in free-fall: new construction is at a standstill, in no small part due to the fact that rural Germans are in full-scale revolt against the wind industry. In 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Tens of thousands of those … Continue reading Total Shutdown: German Revolt Against Industrial Wind Power Brings Wind Farm Construction to Standstill
French Resistance: Brewing Rural Revolt Against Great Wind Power Swindle
The hatred of industrial wind turbines being speared across their rural landscape has stirred the renowned French passion for resistance and revolt. Not so long ago, French renewable energy rent seekers thought they could count on their countrymen’s love of énergie éolienne to provide a social licence to carpet France in these things and to … Continue reading French Resistance: Brewing Rural Revolt Against Great Wind Power Swindle
Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices
The only things 'inevitable' about ‘transitioning’ to wind and solar are rocketing power prices, load shedding and mass blackouts. Ask a German or South Australian. Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, … Continue reading Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices
Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
The wind industry in Germany is in freefall: in 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Over the last two decades, heavily subsidised wind power outfits managed to spear almost 30,000 of these things across rural Germany. Driven mad by practically incessant, turbine generated … Continue reading Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
Turbine Terror: Truckers Face Life & Death Transporting Giant 60m Wind Turbine Blades
With wind turbine blades pushing 60 metres (197 feet) and weighing in at up to 20 tonnes, those that transport them for a living are dicing with death, on a daily basis. So far, the wind industry has clocked up 195 fatalities: 122 were wind industry and direct support workers (divers, construction, maintenance, engineers, etc), … Continue reading Turbine Terror: Truckers Face Life & Death Transporting Giant 60m Wind Turbine Blades
Killer-App: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Entire Bird Species
While Greta frets about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are under threat, including Europe’s Red Kite and Tasmania’s Wedge Tailed Eagle. More generally, there’s a wave of avian carnage wherever the wind industry plies … Continue reading Killer-App: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Entire Bird Species
French Devolution: China Embraces Reliable & Affordable Nuclear as France Lets It Slide
Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Whereas, France’s heavy reliance on reliable and affordable nuclear means that the French enjoy power prices a mere fraction of those suffered … Continue reading French Devolution: China Embraces Reliable & Affordable Nuclear as France Lets It Slide
