Dumping 45-60m long, 10-20 tonne turbine blades in landfills is a costly ‘solution’ that many wind power outfits seem keen to avoid. Back in August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine blades at three sites in Iowa. Global Fiberglass Solutions Inc had accumulated some 1,300 blades … Continue reading Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Double Dealing Wind Developer’s Dodgy Contracts Exposed
How do you know when a wind developer’s goon is lying to you? His lips are moving. Riding roughshod over rural communities is just another day at the office for wind power outfits; lies, bullying and deceit are their tools of trade. When these characters turn up and start spruiking tall tales about wonderful wind … Continue reading Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Double Dealing Wind Developer’s Dodgy Contracts Exposed
Rapid RE Retreat: Looming Winter Blackouts Force Greeks to Reignite Coal-Fired Plants
In the abstract, the ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun-powered future is easy, the kicker comes when reality bites; the sun sets and calm weather sets in. The Greeks, like the Germans, have been talking long and loud about killing off every last one of their coal-fired power plants, denigrating them as “dirty”, … Continue reading Rapid RE Retreat: Looming Winter Blackouts Force Greeks to Reignite Coal-Fired Plants
Battle for Britain: Brits Scramble For Reliable Energy After Repeated Wind Power Failures
Hardly anyone in Britain is talking about wind power as a serious generation source, anymore. Total collapses in wind power output that lasted for days and even weeks, starting back in September, put paid to that kind of loose chatter. Instead, Brits appear to have been struck with the stark realisation that their power generation … Continue reading Battle for Britain: Brits Scramble For Reliable Energy After Repeated Wind Power Failures
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
Billions of Wind Turbine Blades Built With Balsa Wood Stripped From Amazon’s Forests
Green groups are starting to rumble the fact that wind power ain’t so green, after all. Giant industrial wind turbines comprise hundreds of tonnes of steel, aluminium, plastics, copper and rare earths used in the generator’s magnets. There is also at least a tonne of gear oil and hydraulic fluid on board. And then there’s … Continue reading Billions of Wind Turbine Blades Built With Balsa Wood Stripped From Amazon’s Forests
Numerical Nonsense: Why The Case For Intermittent Wind Power Never Adds Up
Because every MW of wind power capacity is matched with a MW of reliable coal, gas or nuclear power, the ‘case’ for subsidised wind will never add up Generating electricity 30% of the time - albeit that wind power outfits can never tell you in advance which 30% of the time that might be - … Continue reading Numerical Nonsense: Why The Case For Intermittent Wind Power Never Adds Up
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
Eagles Go Legal: Audubon Society Sues to Shutdown California’s Golden Eagle Mincers
The rampant slaughter of millions of birds and bats, including America’s iconic bald and golden eagles, is met with a shrug by wind power acolytes, everywhere. When confronted, the wind industry simply resorts to lies and obfuscation and – when the corpses can no longer be hidden and the lying fails – issue court proceedings in … Continue reading Eagles Go Legal: Audubon Society Sues to Shutdown California’s Golden Eagle Mincers
Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling
If ‘green’ means squandering the world’s resources, then wind and solar fit the bill, but if it’s about ‘saving the planet’, then they’re an almighty fraud. Having operated in this space since December 2012, when it comes to wind and solar industry spin and propaganda, STT has seen it all and heard it all. Wind … Continue reading Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling
