*** Infigen (aka Babcock and Brown) are DESPERATE to flog their wind farm interests in Australia and head back home to the US. They have a stack of planned and approved wind farms in Victoria and NSW, but haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of building any of them without a Power Purchase Agreement … Continue reading Angus Taylor: Infigen’s backdoor deal with ACT will triple power prices in Canberra

Jonathan Upson: Thuggery, Bullying and Harassment – just another day at the office
**** Time is fast running out for STT’s favourite whipping boys, Infigen.

PAC Chair Garry West: Ignorance is the New “Black”
**** STT readers will recall our coverage of the sordid decision by the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) to spear 55 giant fans right into the heart of a peaceful and thriving NSW Tablelands community called Collector. The PAC was quite happy to overlook a suite of lies, treachery and deceit tossed up by Thai-turbine-terrorists, … Continue reading PAC Chair Garry West: Ignorance is the New “Black”
NSW PAC – Unfazed by RATCH’s Lies, Treachery & Deceit
STT readers will remember the hunt to find the elusive Frank Bestic - who we believed - at that time - was a former Transfield employee who had apparently “jumped ship” to help in the fight to save Collector.

Will the real Frank Bestic please stand up?
In our last couple of posts, we’ve looked at the battle to save Collector from the wind turbine disaster proposed by Thai wind scammers, RATCH. RATCH’s pitch to the Planning Assessment Commission went down like the Hindenburg. No surprises there. Of the crowd that filled the hall at Collector, 95% were bitterly opposed to having … Continue reading Will the real Frank Bestic please stand up?

Alan Jones on RATCH’s proposed Collector Calamity
**** A while back we reported on efforts to keep Thai wind scam outfit RATCH from messing up Collector’s pristine pumpkin patch. Back in May we covered the frantic efforts by local hopeful turbine host Gary Poile and RATCH’s spinmaster Nick Valentine to win local hearts and minds in our posts here and here. RATCH … Continue reading Alan Jones on RATCH’s proposed Collector Calamity
RET hits “critically endangered” list
**** When lefty business rag, the Australian Financial Review joins the growing chorus of those ready to scrap the RET and start again, wind weasels must know they’re in BIG trouble. STT placed Australia’s unsustainable Renewable Energy Target on the endangered list from the moment we started. But with the Coalition’s RET review about to … Continue reading RET hits “critically endangered” list
Angus “The Enforcer” Taylor reloads and takes aim
Having beaten off a concerted wind weasel effort to keep him out of office, Angus "The Enforcer" Taylor bagged over 60% of the Vote and it looks like he'll hold the Federal seat of Hume for as long as he wants it. STT hears he was less than happy with the dirt and skulduggery pulled … Continue reading Angus “The Enforcer” Taylor reloads and takes aim
Beggar Thy Neighbour
"Scarlett my Dear, the land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts". Unless of course your neighbour whacks up a bunch of giant fans - then you're left fighting and dying for something that's worth a whole lot less. … Continue reading Beggar Thy Neighbour
