STT has covered wind turbine fires dozens of times, including those which have sparked out-of-control bushfires, placing life at mortal risk. 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 … Continue reading Not So Safe: Spontaneous Wind Turbine Fires Pose Mortal Threat to Life & Property
Busting The Renewable Energy ‘Storage’ Myth: It’s All About The Numbers (And The Weather)
Promoters reckon the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar can cured by “storing” it - using insanely expensive lithium batteries or pumped hydro or something vaguely resembling a perpetual motion machine. None of the charlatans pushing the grid-scale storage of electricity generated by subsidised wind and solar have apparently cottoned on to the laws of … Continue reading Busting The Renewable Energy ‘Storage’ Myth: It’s All About The Numbers (And The Weather)
Death Dodgers: On How to Avoid Being Impaled by Flying Wind Turbine Blade Chunks
With thousands of these things being speared into the backyards of closely settled rural communities, the risk of death and serious injury, only increases. The wind industry (which really only got off the ground in the late 1990s and still generates a trifling amount of electricity) has clocked up around 220 fatalities, - see the helpful … Continue reading Death Dodgers: On How to Avoid Being Impaled by Flying Wind Turbine Blade Chunks
Fossil Foiled: Climate Industrial Complex Can’t Curb China’s Insatiable Demand for Coal-Fired Power
The growth in China’s demand for coal-fired power - and the construction of new plants to generate it - is a case of full steam ahead. Where the climate industrial complex is delighted by the destruction of reliable and affordable power supplies in the West, it stands powerless against China’s insatiable demand for coal-fired electricity. … Continue reading Fossil Foiled: Climate Industrial Complex Can’t Curb China’s Insatiable Demand for Coal-Fired Power
Want to Waste a Small Fortune? Try Turning Wind & Solar Power Into Hydrogen Gas
Want to make a small fortune? Then start with a very large one and use it to turn wind and solar power into hydrogen gas. Renewables obsessed governments around the world are now talking up hydrogen gas as if they’d just discovered the secret plans for a perpetual motion machine. It takes a staggering degree … Continue reading Want to Waste a Small Fortune? Try Turning Wind & Solar Power Into Hydrogen Gas
It’s Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power That’s Powering Australia & Will Be For Years to Come
Another burst of calm weather has proved the point: anyone who believes wind power is a meaningful power source, is delusional. The wind and solar cult keep telling us that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The same crowd also claims that coal-fired power is dead as the dodo. … Continue reading It’s Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power That’s Powering Australia & Will Be For Years to Come
Nuclear: Time to Back The Safest System Power Generation Of Them All
The renewable energy cult keeps telling us that the only way forward is backwards: ie a life dependent upon the time of day and the weather. Of course, if anyone wants hot showers and cold beer, wind and solar haven’t a hope of delivering them on cue. It’s passing strange that the same crowd that … Continue reading Nuclear: Time to Back The Safest System Power Generation Of Them All
Green New Deal = Pointless Posturing: Joe Biden’s Trillion Dollar Wind & Solar Boondoggle
The only obvious point to Biden’s ‘Green’ New Deal is lining the pockets of crony capitalists and keeping lobbying rent seekers happy. Hundreds of $billions more are set to be squandered on utterly pointless wind and solar. A point which ought to be pretty obvious to Americans, after millions experienced the mass blackouts suffered across … Continue reading Green New Deal = Pointless Posturing: Joe Biden’s Trillion Dollar Wind & Solar Boondoggle
Flotilla of Furious Fishermen Blockade Wind Developer’s Efforts to Destroy Fishing Grounds & Much More
Be it farmers or fishermen, locals soon recognise that the charlatans pushing wind power couldn’t care less about their lives and livelihoods. Fishermen are a fearless and tenacious bunch, renowned for their salty language. Back in July 2018, hopeful wind developers planning to destroy fishing grounds off the New Jersey coast copped a taste of … Continue reading Flotilla of Furious Fishermen Blockade Wind Developer’s Efforts to Destroy Fishing Grounds & Much More
Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
The apparent object of renewable energy targets is to make power so expensive and unreliable that eventually no one will bother to use it. At least that’s what occurred in Australia, thanks to its Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, which will redirect more than $60 billion to chaotically intermittent wind and solar over the life … Continue reading Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
