Three decades ago, wind and solar were treated as industrial ‘infants’, deserving of subsidies and support, on the premise that they’d be on their feet, in no time. Well, after 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, they’re still being treated like untamable toddlers. And, just like bawling … Continue reading Perpetual Infants: $100 Billion in Taxpayer Subsidies and US Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Want More

Filthy Future: The Staggering Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Toxic Mess
Wind turbines don’t run on wind, they run on subsidies: cut the subsidies and once these things inevitably grind to a halt, they’ll never be replaced. With an economic lifespan of something like 10-12 years (rather than the overblown 25 put forward by turbine makers and wind power outfits), over the next decade countries like Germany will be left … Continue reading Filthy Future: The Staggering Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Toxic Mess
Permanent Part-Time Power: Wind Power Rush Leaves Texans Scrambling for Reliable Electricity
Being a weather-dependent enterprise, no one thinks of promising their kids a kite flying holiday, ahead of time. So just how modern, Western economies ever thought they’d power themselves with occasional breezes is a mystery. The inherent and chaotic intermittency that’s part and parcel of wind power is only compensated by the ability of dispatchable … Continue reading Permanent Part-Time Power: Wind Power Rush Leaves Texans Scrambling for Reliable Electricity
Nowhere Trip: New York’s Big Wind Push Delivering Risible Results
Just like everywhere else, New York State’s efforts to run on wind power have proved to be a dismal failure. Here’s the news: calm weather is a thing, always and everywhere. Whether it’s the fertile fields of northern Germany, the rolling hills of northern South Australia or farmland surrounding the great Lakes of North America, … Continue reading Nowhere Trip: New York’s Big Wind Push Delivering Risible Results
‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Why Wind Turbine Noise Victims Suffer Sleep Deprivation & Worse
The German government got caught destroying data showing residents exposed to dangerous levels of wind turbine infrasound. In the USA, wind farm neighbours are exposed to precisely the same soul-destroying cacophony; a mix of thumping, pulsing (‘amplitude modulated’) low-frequency noise and infrasound. Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Why Wind Turbine Noise Victims Suffer Sleep Deprivation & Worse
Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Giant industrial wind turbines with their 60m blade’s tips clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military has obtained legislation to prevent … Continue reading Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
All Fired Up: Texan Wildfire Sparked by Self-Incinerating Wind Turbine
The number of wildfires sparked by these things grows by the day. Contrary to their ‘super-safe’, ‘clean’, ‘green’ image, giant industrial wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal and over … Continue reading All Fired Up: Texan Wildfire Sparked by Self-Incinerating Wind Turbine
Cost-Effective ‘Renewable’ Energy Is Like Unobtanium: A Fictional Construct
Wind power sits comfortably alongside Alchemy and perpetual motion machines: ideas that were both superficially attractive and utterly impossible. No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind power, and no country ever will. Putting aside their unreliability and chaotic intermittency, the amount of energy and resources that go into building a single wind turbine … Continue reading Cost-Effective ‘Renewable’ Energy Is Like Unobtanium: A Fictional Construct
Battle Lost: Mob Turns Against Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar
Seems like only yesterday when you were hard pressed to find anything in print criticising wind and solar, save for sites like this one. Nowadays, there’s a veritable smorgasbord. Quite a few mainstream journalists are waking up to the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. STT has been joined by dozens of … Continue reading Battle Lost: Mob Turns Against Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar
Blown Away: Mounting Community Opposition Brings Wind Industry to Grinding Halt
The wind industry once held a kind of ‘social licence’. Now that ‘licence’ has been revoked, with rural communities in uproar. In Germany, new wind farm construction has ground to a halt this year - and across the USA the same pattern is emerging. Local governments, legislators and conservation groups have united to pull the … Continue reading Blown Away: Mounting Community Opposition Brings Wind Industry to Grinding Halt
