America’s retreat from Afghanistan has left the door wide open to an increasingly belligerent China. China takes itself very seriously on every front; whether it’s the question of military power or power, period. Building coal-fired power plants, hand over fist, the CCP couldn’t give a fig about CO2 emissions of the kind that have weather-warriors … Continue reading Nero Fiddles: China’s Nuclear Power Push Threatens Any Country Still Toying With Wind & Solar

Exciting Energy Future: ‘Green’ Hydrogen Primed & Ready to Explode Onto Wind & Solar Scene
Hydrogen gas is volatile, reactive and - when it goes up - it does so with an almighty bang. Producing hydrogen gas using chaotically intermittent wind and solar is only the latest hoax being peddled by renewable energy rent seekers and other crony capitalists. That class of characters will never be accused of having a … Continue reading Exciting Energy Future: ‘Green’ Hydrogen Primed & Ready to Explode Onto Wind & Solar Scene
Wind Industry ‘Support’ Fades: No Place For Subsidised Wind Power, Anywhere, Ever
The line about everyone just “loving” wind farms is all down to spin from wind industry propaganda merchants based on Mickey Mouse “surveys” that claim that every last one of your compatriots is itching to spear thousands of things right into your backyard (not theirs, of course). Nothing generates more hatred and bitter community division … Continue reading Wind Industry ‘Support’ Fades: No Place For Subsidised Wind Power, Anywhere, Ever
Burning Cash: (Occasional) Offshore Wind Power More Than Six Times Cost of (Constant) Gas-Fired Power
The true cost of wind power is staggering - the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of gas-fired power. The operating cost of maintaining any industrial machine in a marine environment starts out high and only increases over time, thanks to the corrosive power of … Continue reading Burning Cash: (Occasional) Offshore Wind Power More Than Six Times Cost of (Constant) Gas-Fired Power
Fossil Fuels Plug Renewables Gap: Gas Price Surges As Unreliable Wind & Solar Fail to Deliver
As wind and solar output collapsed during a bitter northern hemisphere winter, gas prices surged. Demand for natural gas - used to plug the growing gap between what wind and solar generators promise and what they deliver - has never been stronger. So much for our ‘inevitable transition’ from fossil fuels to an all wind … Continue reading Fossil Fuels Plug Renewables Gap: Gas Price Surges As Unreliable Wind & Solar Fail to Deliver
‘Green’ Energy Delusions: Promise of All Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Fantasy
Anyone still talking about an ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar power must have skin in the game. That wind and solar fail to deliver when consumers need power most, is hardly news. STT has been laying it out on these pages since December 2012. Since then, sunset and calm weather have continued to smash … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Delusions: Promise of All Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Fantasy
Ever Ascendant: True Cost of Unreliable Wind & Solar Continues to Rise Unabated
If wind and solar power were truly competitive with conventional generators, there would be no need for even a nickel in subsidies. The fact they continue unabated says it all. Claims that the cost of wind and solar generation are falling don’t stand a minute’s serious scrutiny. One group that has applied a blowtorch to … Continue reading Ever Ascendant: True Cost of Unreliable Wind & Solar Continues to Rise Unabated
Sunset & Calm Weather: Why Fossil Fuel Companies Love Intermittent Wind & Solar
The penny is starting to drop for the anti-fossil fuel squad: reliance on chaotically unreliable wind and solar guarantees dependence on fossil fuel. No bad thing in our view, mind you. The wind and solar acolyte started out believing that coal was already dead as the dodo and gas would soon follow. However, already 20 … Continue reading Sunset & Calm Weather: Why Fossil Fuel Companies Love Intermittent Wind & Solar
Back-off Boris: Australia in No Mood for Lecture on Energy Policy from Brits
Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson is running energy policies that were written by and for the Greens. Touting an all-wind powered future and an end to fossil fuels, his little island nation has already experienced mass blackouts courtesy of its obsession with wind power and is set for a whole lot more if Johnson’s plans get anywhere … Continue reading Back-off Boris: Australia in No Mood for Lecture on Energy Policy from Brits
Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain? (It’s called “the Weather”)
No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar power; no country ever will. In Britain, the threat of blackouts now looms every time the wind drops off, thanks to an overreliance on unreliable wind power. Back in August 2019 we reported on a mass blackout that struck Britain, when an offshore wind … Continue reading Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain? (It’s called “the Weather”)
