As another northern winter bites, it’s worth revisiting the deadly renewable energy calamity that hit America’s heartland back in February. Hundreds died in freezing homes, left without electricity thanks to hundreds of iced-up wind turbines, left frozen solid, and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. Solar fared no … Continue reading Winter’s Inevitable Wind & Solar Output Collapses Guarantee More Deadly Blackouts

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
Monumental Design Fail: Industrial Wind Turbines Simply Can’t Handle High Winds
When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. It’s as if their designers included Goldilocks, the porridge thief who wanted things “just right” and snubbed her nose at all that wasn't. Modern industrial wind turbines do not … Continue reading Monumental Design Fail: Industrial Wind Turbines Simply Can’t Handle High Winds
Enough is Enough: After Nearly 40 Years It’s Time to Slash Massive Subsidies to Wind & Solar
One thing you’ll never, ever hear from the crony capitalists profiting from wind and solar is a call to cut the subsidies that sustain them. Remarkably, whether in Germany, Australia, the States or Europe renewables rent seekers all speak the same language. When talk turns to subsidies, you’ll only ever hear words like ‘more’. Challenge … Continue reading Enough is Enough: After Nearly 40 Years It’s Time to Slash Massive Subsidies to Wind & Solar
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
Bloody Expensive: Counting Staggering True Cost of Worthless Wind Power
Wind power has no economic value simply because it cannot be delivered as and when power consumers need it. Hence the massive and seemingly endless subsidies to a power source which is meaningless and, accordingly, worthless. In the absence of subsidies, there would be no wind industry, at all. But worthless does not mean ‘cheap’ … Continue reading Bloody Expensive: Counting Staggering True Cost of Worthless Wind Power
Grand Betrayal: How The Climate Industrial Complex Conspires to Destroy Your Economic Future
The Glasgow gabfest is over, but the grand betrayal has only just begun: in cahoots with the Climate Industrial Complex, Western governments have consigned your economic future to history - and it’s a dark and dismal one, where rocketing energy prices will destroy once prosperous nations and prohibit prosperity in those aspiring for it. A … Continue reading Grand Betrayal: How The Climate Industrial Complex Conspires to Destroy Your Economic Future
Short-Changed: $Billions Spent On Wind & Solar Return Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
All cost and no benefit, chaotically intermittent wind and solar are proven net losers. And yet, the Climate Industrial Complex keeps telling us that the unreliables are central to ‘saving’ the planet. On that score, rather than coming straight out with it, crony capitalists and political elites use the euphemism ‘climate action’. What they really … Continue reading Short-Changed: $Billions Spent On Wind & Solar Return Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
The Sierra Club reckons wind power is the future, but hundreds of industrial wind projects have been canned across the USA, and plenty more are being quietly withdrawn, thanks to growing community resentment and hostility towards industrial wind power. The only way to prevent industrial wind power from destroying your hitherto peaceful and prosperous community … Continue reading Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
California’s wind power proponents promised a clean, green future - instead, they’ve delivered a wholesale environmental disaster. In the desert surrounding Ocotillo, locals have been putting up with wind turbines self-immolating, throwing their blades in all directions, leaking and spraying oil and collapsing to the desert floor, for years now (see our post here). Here’s … Continue reading Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
