It didn't take power punters long to work out that wind power will never amount to a meaningful power generation source. Graphs like the one above - depicting the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (1,800 of them with a capacity of just under 5,000MW, spread across four states, NSW, … Continue reading Insane $Trillion Cost Means Mega-Batteries Won’t Save Chaotically Delivered Wind & Solar

Wind Power’s Mega-Fail: Hot Calm Weather Forces Nuclear Power Reboot in Taiwan & Japan
Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. The fact that politicians in this Country talk about anything but … Continue reading Wind Power’s Mega-Fail: Hot Calm Weather Forces Nuclear Power Reboot in Taiwan & Japan
World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
The point, if there was one, of throwing hundreds of $billions in subsidies at wind and solar was to slash emissions of carbon dioxide gas. Taxpayers and power consumers who are on the receiving end of the bill for all this environmental piety would, after almost 20 years, be entitled to ask just how much … Continue reading World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction
In 2018, it’s easier to find a deluded wind turbine hugger, than an old-fashioned tree hugger. Michael Shellenberger is regarded as one of America’s leading environmental advocates, but his avowed hatred of subsidised, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar puts him at odds with his contemporaries. To the extent that carbon dioxide gas concerns him, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction
Mission Possible: Runaway Renewable Energy Policy = Australia’s Economic Suicide Pact
It’s possible to turn an energy superpower into an economic disaster: Australia did it in less than a decade. Its energy policy was hijacked by eco-zealots and handed to wind and solar rent-seekers, on a platter. A combination of witless and corrupt politicians meant that the mission was accomplished with the sort of split-second timing … Continue reading Mission Possible: Runaway Renewable Energy Policy = Australia’s Economic Suicide Pact
State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
Believing that wind and solar can power your economy means sacrificing our good friends, logic and reason. It also demands ignorance of the most basic of facts: eg, sunset and calm weather. The inevitable consequence of those daily occurrences on wind and solar power generation ought to be apparent to all but those suffering … Continue reading State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
Wind ‘Powered’ Britain Scrambles to Build Nuclear Power Plants as UK Wind ‘Drought’ Hits
There’s a reason that windmills were abandoned in the 19th century: it’s called “the wind”. In 2018, only profiteers and idiots remain as advocates for wind power. In the former category stands Bloomberg, which has been front and centre when it comes to promoting the purported ‘virtues’ of subsidised wind and solar. So, it’s somewhat … Continue reading Wind ‘Powered’ Britain Scrambles to Build Nuclear Power Plants as UK Wind ‘Drought’ Hits
Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution
STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable and reliable it’s the perfect foil for those obsessed about carbon dioxide gas - because it doesn’t generate any, while generating power on demand. One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such vast scale that they take longer … Continue reading Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution
US Wind Power Fraud: It’s Coal, Gas & Nuclear That Powers the Land of the Free
America’s resurgent prosperity is partly the product of its recent shale oil and gas revolution. From sea to shining sea, the US is awash with cheap gas; adding to its already abundant supplies of coal. With electricity prices around one third the cost paid in wind and solar obsessed Australia, anyone promoting that pair in … Continue reading US Wind Power Fraud: It’s Coal, Gas & Nuclear That Powers the Land of the Free
Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
A generation or so back, the ‘green’ was a well-meaning tree-hugger. Then along came CO2 gas which resulted in a new shade of ‘green’. Gone was any vestige of human empathy, let alone compassion, both replaced by a maniacal belief that humans are literally ‘cockroaches’, devouring planet Earth. Instead of hoping to improve the environment … Continue reading Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
