Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency

Wind and solar have justly earned the tag ‘unreliables’: sunset and calm weather are inevitable, whereas the so-called ‘inevitable renewable energy transition’, is anything but. The Germans call it ‘dunkelflaute’ – meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather and a total collapse in output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar […]

Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition

Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. […]

Nut-Zero: Wind & Solar Cult Promise Shared Stone-Age Misery For All (Bar Them)

The wind and sun cult reckon that with a few tweaks and twists we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. It is, of course, a collective delusion, bound up in a woolly-headed brand of undergraduate Marxism – the kind enamoured of starry-eyed arts and sociology students, around the globe. On their world […]

The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up

  Listen to an ideologue, and you’d think the transition to an all wind and sun powered future is simply inevitable. Listen to an engineer, and you’ll soon understand that it is simply impossible. Reliable, dependable and affordable power supplies were the product of logic and reason – the discipline of methodical and ordered thinking, […]

Unholy Alliance: Exposing Gross Hypocrisy That Drives The Climate Industrial Complex

Follow the money and you’ll soon work out who’s who in the climate industrial complex zoo. At the end of every massive wind and solar subsidy rainbow, you’ll find a crony capitalist eager to cash in. Built upon a series of self-serving fictions, the grand wind and solar scam has been designed to allow the […]

No-Brainer: Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Only Way To Avoid ‘Transition’ to Dark Ages

STT promotes nuclear power because it works, the very reason that the wind and solar cult detest it. Despite the usual hackneyed hysteria whipped up by renewable energy rent-seekers, nuclear power generation is now front and centre; the obvious long-term solution to Australia’s self-inflicted subsidised renewable energy debacle. For now, 80% of the electricity that […]

Renewables Roadblock: Wind & Solar Transition Meets Real Community Opposition

When ideology is all, reality has a nasty habit of undoing the grandest of plans. So it is with the great wind and solar ‘reset’. The economic storage of intermittent wind and solar is a fantastic pipe dream; the colossal expense attached to mythical mega-batteries means that it will remain so. The minerals required for […]

Misery Guaranteed: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Mean Taxing Prosperity Out of Existence

As the wind and solar ‘transition’ implodes, the response is to tax the life out of anything still moving, crushing power consumers and taxpayers in the bargain. Ronald Reagan’s quip about how governments treat their economies: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it” is […]

New Anti-Fossil Fuel Puritans Set New Standard in Blatant Ignorance & Gross Hypocrisy

If it looks and sounds like a deranged cult, it probably is. The latest wheeze is pretending that functional, civil societies can live without coal, oil and gas. It’s perfect nonsense, to be sure, and symptomatic of an uneducated cohort who haven’t the faintest idea about what makes their safe and utterly privileged little lives […]

Wind & Solar Wipeout: Reliable & Affordable Power Now Part of Ancient History

Pretty soon, the notion of having affordable power available on demand will be ancient history. Never before in the course of human existence have so few done so much damage to so many. Electricity prices are spiralling out of control in any place attempting to run on sunshine and breezes, power rationing (aka ‘demand management’) […]
