Across the globe, the quest for wind and solar power domination has taken on all the menace of a friendly round of Russian roulette. The front runners in the USA, California and Texas, have already experienced life-threatening wind and solar output collapses; during statewide heatwaves in the former, and during last February’s Big Freeze, in … Continue reading Green New Deal Gamble: Democrats Playing Russian Roulette With America’s Energy Future

Subsidised Suicide: 2021 Revealed Wind & Solar To Be Unreliable & Utterly Useless
Wind and solar are said to be ‘cheap’, but then so’s talk. 2021 was the year when wind and solar were revealed to be thoroughly useless, thanks to their inherent intermittency and general lack of reliability. Starting in September last year, for months on end, Europe’s wind power fleet struggle to produce any consistent power … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: 2021 Revealed Wind & Solar To Be Unreliable & Utterly Useless
Energy High Treason: The ‘Environmental’ Groups Sabotaging Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Outfits like the Sierra Club ought to be charged with High Treason, for trying to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies - supplies critical to peace, prosperity and the survival of Western civilisation. As to defence, in a high-tech world of internet surveillance, satellite reconnaissance and remotely controlled drones, try protecting the Realm without electricity … Continue reading Energy High Treason: The ‘Environmental’ Groups Sabotaging Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Furious Fishermen Sue To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds
Always making more enemies than friends, the wind industry is being sued by America’s fishermen to stop it wrecking their fishing grounds and livelihoods. Having ridden roughshod over communities on land for the best part of a generation, the wind industry has been doing so offshore, for more than a decade. But, when it comes … Continue reading Furious Fishermen Sue To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds
World’s Woeful Wind Power Output Spells Doom For Renewable Energy Rent Seekers
Don McLean’s American Pie was all about the day the music died; 2021 was all about the year that the wind industry died. Its well-worn claim that wind power is just a heartbeat away from replacing meaningful power sources - such as coal, gas and nuclear - took a battering across the globe last year. … Continue reading World’s Woeful Wind Power Output Spells Doom For Renewable Energy Rent Seekers
Winter’s Inevitable Wind & Solar Output Collapses Guarantee More Deadly Blackouts
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
