The zealots that pump up the future for wind and solar power are programed to ignore the present and bound to ignore the past. For a few centuries in human history, windmills were the only game in town. Then, in the 18th Century, the captains of British scientific and engineering endeavour harnessed thermal power, … Continue reading Long Way to Run: Fossil Fuel Powers the World Now & For Generations to Come

Deadly Cool: Wind Turbine Throws Ice Chunks Into US College
Throwing 10 tonne blades hundreds of metres, and chunks thereof, for kilometres isn’t the limit of the wholly unnecessary risk created by giant wind turbines. No, in cooler climes, neighbours are trained in the art of dodging lethal flying chunks of ice, too. To the uninitiated, ‘ice throw’ (another wind industry euphemism) might sound … Continue reading Deadly Cool: Wind Turbine Throws Ice Chunks Into US College
Cuomo’s Curse: Wind Power Obsession Leaves New Yorkers with Rocketing Power Bills
If wind power really is cheap and getting cheaper all the time, why is it that every State or Nation ‘powered’ by the weather is suffering power prices magnitudes higher than those that continue merrily chugging away on coal, gas or nuclear power? South Australia, Denmark and Germany suffer the highest power prices in the … Continue reading Cuomo’s Curse: Wind Power Obsession Leaves New Yorkers with Rocketing Power Bills
Community Backlash Against Big Wind: Massachusetts Residents’ Unanimous Vote Blocks Future Wind Projects
Remember all the guff about rural communities falling over themselves to get into bed with big wind? No? STT has forgotten those well-polished propaganda pieces, too. Watching reasonable people turn against wind power with a vengeance is one of life’s inevitable events - like herds of hungry Wildebeests prowling the Serengeti in search of … Continue reading Community Backlash Against Big Wind: Massachusetts Residents’ Unanimous Vote Blocks Future Wind Projects
Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished
Back in November 2013, we reported on the orders made by a Court in Falmouth, Massachusetts that pulled to a halt the operation of a couple of Vestas V82s that have been driving townspeople nuts, since they kicked into gear almost 7 years ago (see our post here). We’ve also reported on Barry Funfar, a former … Continue reading Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished
Wind Turbine Noise Makes Life a Living Hell for Neighbours: Michigan Farmers Driven From Homes
Wherever the wind industry expands, so too a visceral hatred among those forced to suffer incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound. No manner of cynical finessing can excuse what’s done by this subsidy-soaked so-called ‘industry’. Turning peaceful and idyllic rural communities into industrial wastelands sticks in the craw of even life’s most grizzled … Continue reading Wind Turbine Noise Makes Life a Living Hell for Neighbours: Michigan Farmers Driven From Homes
Press-Ganged: How the Wind Industry Hijacked the Media to Peddle its Fake News
Myths, half-truths and downright lies are the stock in trade of the subsidy-soaked wind industry: to obtain its ‘social licence’, it’s needed plenty of useful idiots in the press. Gullible so-called ‘journalists’ ready, willing and able to parrot all the usual fantasies, such as: wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time; that … Continue reading Press-Ganged: How the Wind Industry Hijacked the Media to Peddle its Fake News
Risible Renewables: 30 Years and $Trillions in Subsidies – Wind & Solar’s Total Output Less than 1% of World Energy Demand
A decade from now, as grids collapse and businesses and households are driven into penury, because they can no longer afford their rocketing power bills, the current generation will have plenty of time to lament (albeit, sitting freezing or boiling in the dark). South Australians, with a deluded and dangerous Labor Premier, utterly obsessed with … Continue reading Risible Renewables: 30 Years and $Trillions in Subsidies – Wind & Solar’s Total Output Less than 1% of World Energy Demand
America’s Wind Industry Doomed as Republicans Back Cheap, Reliable Coal & Nuclear
As a first world energy source, there’s only one problem with wind power: and that would be the W-I-N-D. The United States of America didn’t become the richest and most powerful Nation on earth running on sunshine and breezes. To become the industrial juggernaut and technological master that it is, Americans burnt mountains of … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Doomed as Republicans Back Cheap, Reliable Coal & Nuclear
America’s Wind Industry Squeals as Republicans Slash Massive Wind Power Subsidies
The wind industry is a lot like Peter Pan – the perpetual infant, hard-wired to fight, kick and scream to avoid the stark reality of adulthood. How often have we heard the yarn about wind power needing those life-giving subsidies (filched in their hundreds of $billions from taxpayers and power consumers) to continue for just … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Squeals as Republicans Slash Massive Wind Power Subsidies
