Britain’s power consumers (or what’s left of them) are brewing for a full-scale revolt. 12 months ago, the average annual energy bill was £1,400 ($2,400). Energy industry analyst Cornwall Insight forecasts that the British price cap will skyrocket and the average annual bill will reach £3,582 ($6,177) next month. By January, it predicts it will … Continue reading Don’t Follow The Leader: How To Avoid Britain’s Wind & Solar Energy Disaster (Just Stop Now)

Net-Zero Nonsense: Nothing Cheap About Mandated CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets
Net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are just the latest woke wheeze to grip our political betters. We’re told that wind and solar are central to so-called ‘net-zero CO2 emissions targets’. Never mind the renewables driven energy calamity playing out in Europe, California, Texas and now Australia. What is little more than a rebooted extension of … Continue reading Net-Zero Nonsense: Nothing Cheap About Mandated CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets
The Great Wind Power Swindle: Households & Businesses Being Crushed By Record Power Bills
If wind power is cheap, why does every country obsessed with it suffer rocketing power prices? The game of smoke and mirrors played by renewable energy rent-seekers, has enabled them to avoid any critical scrutiny of the role heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar play in driving power prices into orbit. A decade of … Continue reading The Great Wind Power Swindle: Households & Businesses Being Crushed By Record Power Bills
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
Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push
No country that ‘invested’ in wind and solar has ever seen their retail power prices fall. In Europe, wind and solar ‘powered’ Germans and Danes are punished by Europe's highest power prices - around double that paid by the nuclear-powered French. Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia set the benchmark down under for crippling power … Continue reading Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push
Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power
Claims that wind and solar are cheap, simply don’t add up. Glaring examples such as Germany, Denmark and South Australia tell the tale. Like night follows day, add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid, and power prices are bound to spiral out of control. California led America in the race … Continue reading Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power
‘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
Renewables Regret: Power-Starved Europeans Rue Their Governments’ Wind & Solar Obsession
Eating cold baked beans in the dark might not be everyone’s idea of fun, but power-starved Europeans are getting used to that kind of indignity. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe’s highest power prices; since Putin’s Ukrainian adventure began, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per … Continue reading Renewables Regret: Power-Starved Europeans Rue Their Governments’ Wind & Solar Obsession
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
