The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When … Continue reading Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas

Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
The wind and sun cult never admit it, but if it weren’t for coal-fired power Australia’s grid would have collapsed, long ago. Chugging away for the best part of a century, Australia’s coal-fired plants continue to provide power reliably, on demand, whatever the weather. No need for batteries, no need for back up. And, as … Continue reading Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies
The wind ‘industry’ chews through $billions of other people’s money every day, but it’s never enough. Part of the problem is the metric of their mantra. Telling everyone that wind power ‘is cheap’ and getting cheaper all the time doesn’t gel with ‘forever’ subsidies, renewable targets, mandates and guaranteed prices for power which is delivered … Continue reading Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies
Hard Lessons From Britain’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Freely Available For All
The fool learns from his own experience, the wise tend to learn from the experience of others. In that respect, Britain provides the perfect opportunity for students of energy policy to avoid their very own self-inflicted wind and solar calamity. Britain went all in with its grand offshore wind experiment - accordingly, power prices rocketed … Continue reading Hard Lessons From Britain’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Freely Available For All
Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
The twisted logic of the wind and solar ‘transition’ means the only way of preventing blackouts is to force users to stop using electricity. Australia’s Federal government is paying energy-hungry businesses (using taxpayer’s money, obviously) to stop producing whatever it is that they produce so they do not use electricity. Because that’s the only way … Continue reading Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth
‘Wind and solar power are cheap and reliable’, ‘war is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ or so the Ministry of Truth would have you believe. Perverting the meaning of language is all in a day’s work for the rent-seeking crowd that sit behind wind and solar outfits - ably assisted by a crowd of deranged zealots … Continue reading Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth
Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses
Intermittent wind and solar deliver guaranteed grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. So, don’t say we didn’t warn you. The graphic above … Continue reading Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses
Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide
Germany’s energy ‘policy’ reads like a national suicide pact, one that’s delivered a perfectly predictable power pricing and supply catastrophe. For the crippling prices and routine rationing that’s followed, Germans can thank their purported leaders and their unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, German households and businesses … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide
War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
The obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has few winners and plenty of losers. The latter include the householders and businesses being crushed by power price increases of a magnitude that few of them can afford, and none of them expected (having been consistently lied to by the politicos and MSM … Continue reading War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
