Pricing Vanity: Counting the Crushing Costs of Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar

The claim that renewables are cheaper than coal, gas and nuclear is simply nonsense. There’s a reason why wind and solar obsessed Germany, Denmark and South Australia fight it out for the honour of paying the world’s highest power prices. Where conventional generators can be counted on to deliver 24 x 7, wind and solar … Continue reading Pricing Vanity: Counting the Crushing Costs of Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar

Red Faces: Mainstream Journos Quietly Drop Support For Intermittent Wind & Solar

Often wrong, never in doubt, the mainstream press is responsible for the idea that we’re well on our way to an all wind and sun powered future. The need for massive and endless subsidies is ignored; and the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar, brushed aside with waffle about mega-batteries saving the day. The mainstream … Continue reading Red Faces: Mainstream Journos Quietly Drop Support For Intermittent Wind & Solar

Slam Dunk: Wind Developer Faces $Millions in Liability for Noise Nuisance – Acoustic Report Finds Wind Farm Non-Compliant

Growing-Up: Australians Get Serious About Serious Energy, Demanding Nuclear Power, Now

All of a sudden, Australians are talking about a nuclear powered future, like there’s no tomorrow.

Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power

Raising a raft of unnecessary danger, the wind industry’s body count currently stands at 192. Flying blades, collapsing and/or self-immolating towers account for their fair share of corpses. But those that take to the air, shouldn’t overlook the number of pilots and their passengers who’ve come to grief, thanks to a wind turbine or their … Continue reading Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power

Solar Subsidies: Can Create an ‘Industry’, But Can’t Make the Sun Shine

The reason for the chaotic delivery of wind and solar is hardly a mystery: sunset and/or calm weather have been with us, forever. Ah, comes the retort from RE zealots, ‘why, batteries will fix it’. Except, to get battery storage at anything like the scale necessary would involve colossal cost and, of course, even more … Continue reading Solar Subsidies: Can Create an ‘Industry’, But Can’t Make the Sun Shine

Climate Terrorism: Mainstream Media Waging War on Common Sense & Reason

Australian voters recently rejected a massive increase in wind and solar and voted in favour of the Queensland coal industry.

Never let the facts get the way of a deluded narrative, … Continue reading Climate Terrorism: Mainstream Media Waging War on Common Sense & Reason

Dirty Business: Wind Developer – AGL Creates Dust Storm & Destroys Fine Wool Business

  Any farmer thinking of getting in bed with the wind industry, ought to think again, starting with this story.

The Gardners – along with the whole Macarthur community – … Continue reading Dirty Business: Wind Developer – AGL Creates Dust Storm & Destroys Fine Wool Business

Time For Nuclear Option: Australian Election Blows the Lid Off the Nuclear Power Debate

Nuclear power isn’t an option in Australia, but it damn well ought to be. Banned by Luddites in 1998, Australia has never had a nuclear power generation system, despite being the world’s third largest uranium exporter, with more than a third of the world's proven reserves. STT is devoted to pushing the case for nuclear … Continue reading Time For Nuclear Option: Australian Election Blows the Lid Off the Nuclear Power Debate
