Akin to pushing on string, you can keep building these things ad infinitum and add nothing in terms of meaningful power generation capacity. It doesn’t matter whether a wind power fleet comprises a hundred, a thousand or a million wind turbines, when the wind stops blowing, they will deliver an almighty, collective doughnut. And it's … Continue reading Net Zero Madness: Why Wind Power Expansion Plans Don’t Add Up

Battle for Britain: Brits Scramble For Reliable Energy After Repeated Wind Power Failures
Hardly anyone in Britain is talking about wind power as a serious generation source, anymore. Total collapses in wind power output that lasted for days and even weeks, starting back in September, put paid to that kind of loose chatter. Instead, Brits appear to have been struck with the stark realisation that their power generation … Continue reading Battle for Britain: Brits Scramble For Reliable Energy After Repeated Wind Power Failures
Boris Johnson’s Bizarre Persistence With Unreliable Wind Power Defies All Logic & Reason
Insanity is doing that same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is why STT raises an eyebrow (or two) at Boris Johnson’s persistent love affair with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power. His belief that taking it all offshore will make a difference, only confirms that this man has a … Continue reading Boris Johnson’s Bizarre Persistence With Unreliable Wind Power Defies All Logic & Reason
Wanton Waste: World’s Largest Wind Farm = World’s Largest White Elephant
Want to make a small fortune? Then take a large one and put it into offshore wind power. The costs of generating sporadic electricity using wind are staggering; doing so offshore makes them astronomical. And, it seems, the bigger the boondoggle, the more costly it becomes for the unwitting taxpayers, who are always left to … Continue reading Wanton Waste: World’s Largest Wind Farm = World’s Largest White Elephant
UK’s Costly Grid Chaos Continues, As Wind Power Continually Fails to Deliver
Start placing serious reliance on wind power and you can safely place your bets on daily disappointment. Such it is in Britain, with month upon month of pitiful performance from its fleet of whirling wonders. During most of September and into October, Europe’s wind farms were the victims of the Big Calm. The Wind Gods … Continue reading UK’s Costly Grid Chaos Continues, As Wind Power Continually Fails to Deliver
Wind Power ‘Droughts’ Mean Nuclear Power Key To Neutralising Net-Zero Madness
Europe’s persistent and ongoing wind drought spells the end for never-reliable wind power and the renaissance of ever-reliable nuclear. As a consequence of the Big Calm and a total collapse in wind power output across Western Europe and the UK, the Brits have now enlisted Rolls Royce to build a fleet of small modular reactors. … Continue reading Wind Power ‘Droughts’ Mean Nuclear Power Key To Neutralising Net-Zero Madness
What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
There’s a new definition of insanity: trying to satisfy net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets without nuclear power. Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison’s energy policy falls well within that definition, which probably makes this country one of the largest lunatic asylums, on earth. Morrison headed off to Glasgow to join 25,000 virtue signallers, crony capitalists and … Continue reading What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Europe’s great wind drought continues, unabated. Adding to the wind industry’s woes, its claims that offshore wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time have been totally torched - again. Over the last two years, Andrew Montford has been keeping a close eye on the financial reports produced by the UK’s offshore wind … Continue reading Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Post-Renewables Reality: Nuclear Power Generation Easy Solution For Energy Starved World
Europe’s great wind drought has focused attention on the unassailable fact that wind power is an utterly meaningless power source. The demand for electricity is, always and everywhere, a ‘here and now’ kind of thing. Households and businesses couldn’t care less if there’s a roaring gale and plenty of wind power at 2 in the … Continue reading Post-Renewables Reality: Nuclear Power Generation Easy Solution For Energy Starved World
Scam Alert: How ‘Green’ Energy Companies Are Ripping You Off
So-called ‘green’ power suppliers are finally being called out for the scammers that they truly are. Their pitch was that they would only ever supply you with electrons - lovingly caressed from sunshine and breezes - for a fraction of the cost of power generated using coal, nuclear or gas. Western Europe’s recent Big Calm … Continue reading Scam Alert: How ‘Green’ Energy Companies Are Ripping You Off
