Thanks to the UK's love affair with intermittent wind power, Brit’s power bills will double this April when a legislated price cap is lifted; UK power prices are already amongst the highest in Europe. And there is much worse to come. Instead of coming to grips with its self-inflicted renewable energy calamity, its energy brains … Continue reading Deep ‘Green’ Punishment: Power Prices Set To Double In Wind Power Obsessed Britain

Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Anyone looking for a taste of what the ‘transition’ to wind and solar might look like, need look no further than Europe. The best (worst) examples, Germany and the UK are in the middle of self-inflicted energy debacles, with many of their neighbours not far behind. Mass wind droughts - that lasted months at the … Continue reading Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Trust & Truth Deficit: BBC Busted Telling Big Fat Lies About Wind Farm Subsidies
Never let the facts get in the way of the ‘green’ cult’s narrative, seems to be the BBC’s new motto. Its official line is that: “trust is the foundation of the BBC. We’re independent, impartial and honest”. ‘Independent’, maybe. But the Beeb is hardly impartial or honest when it comes to reporting on Britain’s wind … Continue reading Trust & Truth Deficit: BBC Busted Telling Big Fat Lies About Wind Farm Subsidies
2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations
Just when the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was supposed to be in the bag, thoroughly calm weather dashed all hopes. $Trillions in subsidies have been thrown at wind and solar power outfits, with no end to the largess in sight. All the while, the rent seekers and propagandists have been … Continue reading 2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations
Risible Renewables: Weather-Dependent Wind Power – Never There When You Need It Most
Pin your energy needs on the weather, and prepare for disappointment, over and over and over again. South Australians know it, Germans know it, Texans and Californians know it, all too well. In the latter part of 2021, as the Big Calm descended across Western Europe, Brits learned all about it, too. Quietly firing up … Continue reading Risible Renewables: Weather-Dependent Wind Power – Never There When You Need It Most
Net Zero Madness: Why Wind Power Expansion Plans Don’t Add Up
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
