World energy markets keep defying the wind and solar cult’s prediction that coal’s days are over. The meme has it that ‘coal is dead’, but in reality it hasn’t suffered so much as a flesh wound. Indeed, thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal coal prices hit $US$400 … Continue reading Fired-Up: Global Demand For Coal Defies Wind & Sun Cult’s Predictions of Doom

Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Rocketing power prices is one inevitable consequence of the so-called ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. Germans know it, so do Californians, South Australians and Danes. Brits are learning fast, too. Of course, the propaganda units that run cover for renewable energy rent seekers pretend otherwise. Francis Menton wades through their dross to reveal what Europe’s … Continue reading Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Zealots tout Germany as the benchmark for the ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar, but its energy system is a complete debacle; power rationing is the new normal and prices are through the roof. Indeed, any country that got serious about subsidising wind and solar is finding itself in serious trouble. Disastrous examples such as … Continue reading Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream
The wind and solar ‘transition’ is being sold as Utopia - but anyone prepared to believe that will believe anything. In Germany and Britain, a growing number are starting to work it out. They’ve been lied to; they’re angry and there will be a political vengeance against those who have delivered misery of a type … Continue reading Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream
Dark Days Ahead: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Braces For Mass Blackouts
A mixture of dread and panic has struck with the realisation that power rationing and rocketing prices are the only thing ‘inevitable’ about the grand wind and solar transition. Germany set its path towards energy poverty, economic and social chaos, almost 20 years ago. Now, with a little help from Vlad Putin and his strategic … Continue reading Dark Days Ahead: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Braces For Mass Blackouts
Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Vlad Putin is being accused by pundits as the only reason why Europe's power prices are spiralling out of control. Not so. Sure, his grip on oil and gas supplies to Europe has put the squeeze on, particularly in Germany, but its so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ - was in serious strife … Continue reading Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
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
‘Ministry of Plenty’ Declares Weather-Driven Power Rationing All For The Greater Good
In Orwell’s 1984, the Ministry of Plenty was quick to herald any positive statistic, however bogus. Standards of living were always rising; as was the production of food, shoelaces and ill-fitting boots. Triumphant announcements were made about the chocolate ration increasing, simultaneously that the ration was, in fact, being reduced. An example of what the … Continue reading ‘Ministry of Plenty’ Declares Weather-Driven Power Rationing All For The Greater Good
Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession
As Germans and Brits stock up on woollen blankets and candles, the world has a chance to avoid the perfectly avoidable. In both cases, an obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has them scrambling for reliable energy - as if thousands of lives depend on it - which they literally do. … Continue reading Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Not So Cheap: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends Britain’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Britain and Germany are the star players in Europe’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity. Faced with power rationing and crippling power bills, Germans and Brits must be thanking their lucky stars that their governments had the wit and foresight to destroy their coal-fired power plants and give nuclear power the flick. Banning the exploitation of Britain’s … Continue reading Not So Cheap: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends Britain’s Power Prices Into Orbit
