When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. When we posted this story - Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’ - a couple of weeks back, listen they did - that post went viral with over 40,000 … Continue reading Bill Gates Tackles Climate Barons: Getting Renewables & Batteries to Work Needs a ‘Miracle’

Minnesota Meltdown: Farmers Declare Wind Farms a ‘No-Win’ for Rural America
Given the choice, no sentient being would ever tolerate an industrial wind turbine anywhere near their home or property. Merrily wrecking rural communities wherever it goes, the wind industry is facing real, red-blooded American resistance across the Midwest. In this piece from Minnesota’s The Globe, locals lament the day the wind industry rolled into … Continue reading Minnesota Meltdown: Farmers Declare Wind Farms a ‘No-Win’ for Rural America
Fatal Attraction: America’s Big Freeze Reveals Deadly Danger of Unreliable Renewables
Relying on intermittent wind and solar requires a kind of blind faith that power might be delivered when needed most, such as the Big Freeze that hit America’s Mid-west last month, and the heatwave that hit Victoria and South Australia, the month before that. On that score, STT’s post - Minnesota Madness: Big Freeze Exposes … Continue reading Fatal Attraction: America’s Big Freeze Reveals Deadly Danger of Unreliable Renewables
No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All
Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar don’t compete with coal, gas or nuclear power, but that doesn’t stop pointless cost comparisons. Electricity generated when you don’t need it, is worthless - and wind or solar power that you can't get, just when you need it most, can't be bought at any price. … Continue reading No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All
Another Wind Power Fail: Stiff Breeze Flattens Giant Wind Turbine in New Mexico
How ironic it is that a wholly weather dependent power source has such a bitterly hard time coping with the ... ahem ... weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico in September 2017, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless for months: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves … Continue reading Another Wind Power Fail: Stiff Breeze Flattens Giant Wind Turbine in New Mexico
Falmouth’s Two Turbine Wind Farm Fiasco: Shutdown Order Leaves Town $7,000,000 in Debt
Take a small Massachusetts township, add two wind turbines, mix with hubris and arrogance and you have a perfect recipe for disaster. In the beginning, there was the notion that a wind turbine or two would help Falmouth save on power costs and unite the community in an effort to purportedly save the planet. That … Continue reading Falmouth’s Two Turbine Wind Farm Fiasco: Shutdown Order Leaves Town $7,000,000 in Debt
Nuclear Power Works: That’s Why The Wind & Solar Industries Hate It So Much
Only the most delusional climate alarmist still believes that wind and solar power can help in their global crusade against carbon dioxide gas. As we have said repeatedly, nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source which is capable of delivering power on demand, without CO2 emissions being generated in the process. Perversely, notwithstanding … Continue reading Nuclear Power Works: That’s Why The Wind & Solar Industries Hate It So Much
Fantastic Nonsense: Wind Industry Performance Claims Simply Don’t Stack Up
The idea that one day soon we’ll all be powered by sunshine and breezes is infantile nonsense. No modern economy has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar power. Still, we’re continually berated with the notion that our ‘transition’ to all wind and sun powered future is ‘inevitable’. In reality, the only thing that … Continue reading Fantastic Nonsense: Wind Industry Performance Claims Simply Don’t Stack Up
Cuomo’s Con-job: Governor’s Bogus Claims About New York’s All Wind & Solar Powered Future
No country has ever powered itself entirely using wind and solar, no country ever will. Andrew Cuomo appears to think that New York State can defy the laws of nature, physics and economics. The Governor is ready to trash his State’s reliable and affordable electricity supply, claiming he can replace it with a ‘system’ powered … Continue reading Cuomo’s Con-job: Governor’s Bogus Claims About New York’s All Wind & Solar Powered Future
Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. Bill Gates made a fortune applying common sense to the untapped market of home computing. The meme has it that IBM’s CEO believed there was only a market for five computers in the entire world. Gates thought … Continue reading Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’
