America has some perfect examples of what not to do, if it wants to remain an industrial and manufacturing power-house, with a standard of living that much of the World can only envy. South Australia has set the pace with spot prices that rocket in minutes from $70 per MWh to $2,000 to $4,000 and … Continue reading Wind Power Alert: Americans Out to Avoid Europe’s Power Price Disaster

Nuclear War Breaks Out: Eco-Warriors Split on the Only CO2 Saving Power Source
STT tends to leave the debate about global warming or 'climate change' to others. However, STT has always thought that if man-made CO2 emissions really were destroying the planet, then sensible governments would have moved to build nuclear power plants from the moment the Chicken Littles started wailing about the heavens collapsing. The French generate over … Continue reading Nuclear War Breaks Out: Eco-Warriors Split on the Only CO2 Saving Power Source
Americans Count the Insane Costs of Trying to Run On Wind Power
Americans enjoy the cheapest electricity in the World - thanks to ultra-cheap gas, plenty of nuclear power and a fair share of hydro among their power mix. However, how long its natural advantage over countries who have tied their hopes on the Wind Gods lasts, depends entirely on how soon it can pull the rug … Continue reading Americans Count the Insane Costs of Trying to Run On Wind Power
How to Wreck Landscapes for Eternity: Just Add Wind Turbines
Duane Hyland, 82, of Golden, Colorado is a retired software engineer who, horrified at what the wind industry has done to America's Mid-West, penned a pretty solid warning to all-comers: “Steal the Wind Reap the Whirlwind.” Here's the thrust of Duane's call to arms.

Base-Load Matters: America Waking Up to its Wind Power Fantasy
For a populous detached from the realities of power generation (or similarly detached from reality, in general) the concept of running on 'free' breezes and sunbeams has an almost natural attraction. In much the same way that infants fixate on the colourful, the shiny and the new. But, most infants tend to eventually grow up: … Continue reading Base-Load Matters: America Waking Up to its Wind Power Fantasy

Wind Industry Claims Another Ag-Pilot: Minnesota Crop-Duster Killed in Action
Is there anything to say in favour of these things? Not only insanely expensive and utterly pointless at every level, they pose a mortal danger to both man and beast. In the 20 years or so since they’ve spun into heavily subsidised ‘action’, the wind industry’s has managed to clock up a fairly sizeable death … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims Another Ag-Pilot: Minnesota Crop-Duster Killed in Action
Believe in Unicorns & Pixies? Why Not Believe in the Fantasy of Wind Power, Too?
The wind-cultist is a special breed: long on starry-eyed belief; short on our good friends 'logic' and 'reason' - occupying a fact-and-consequence-free netherworld, in which their favoured form of power generation arrives as a result of meteorological serendipity and, when it doesn't, the power still appears, as if by magic. Except that the 'magic' was … Continue reading Believe in Unicorns & Pixies? Why Not Believe in the Fantasy of Wind Power, Too?
US Threat to Wind Power Subsidies Reveals Last Great Ponzi Scheme
STT has likened it to the great corporate Ponzi schemes, pointing out, just once or twice, that the wind industry is little more than the most recent and elaborate effort to fleece gullible investors, in a list that dates back to “corporate investment classics”, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind … Continue reading US Threat to Wind Power Subsidies Reveals Last Great Ponzi Scheme
