A Diesel in the Shed Pickering Post Viv Forbes 14 April 2017 You can have your solar panels and your turbines on the hills; You can use the warmth of sunshine to reduce your heating bills. You can dream you’re self-sufficient as you weed your vegie bed; As long as you make sure to keep … Continue reading Renewables Work Just Fine – Provided There’s a Diesel in the Shed
Australians Duped by Constant Green Washing: Renewables Ain’t Cheap & Ain’t Reliable
The one thing we have to hand it to the wind and solar industry is how they've been able to convince so many, for so long about the 'wonders' of their massively subsidised, skittish wares. As Mark Twain put it: “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Getting the … Continue reading Australians Duped by Constant Green Washing: Renewables Ain’t Cheap & Ain’t Reliable
Wales Erupts in Wild Protests Against Outrageous 800 Turbine Wind Farm
Nothing generates more hatred and bitter community division than a wind farm. And when what's proposed is 800 of these things: 290 tonne, 165m tall, bat-chomping, bird slicing, blade-chucking, pyrotechnic, sonic-torture devices - speared all over the bucolic Welsh and Shropshire countryside it's little wonder that locals have erupted in fury - a taste of which … Continue reading Wales Erupts in Wild Protests Against Outrageous 800 Turbine Wind Farm
Australian Soldiers’ Sacred Resting Place Wins Reprieve: French Wind Farm Plan Scrapped for Villers-Brettoneux
*** 25 April is Anzac Day, a day which looms large in Australia’s history, and collective consciousness, marking the beginning of Australia’s bloody entry to the War to end all Wars, on the beaches of Gallipoli, on that day in 1915.

First Strike: Communities Threatened by Wind Farms Gathering Own Noise Data to Later Sue Turbine Hosts & Developers in Nuisance
Over the last few weeks there has been an uptick in chatter about long dormant wind farm projects being resurrected, which has more to do with anxious developers hoping to offload their projects than any kind of renewed confidence in Australia’s precarious renewable energy policies. In the main, this rush of panicked activity is about … Continue reading First Strike: Communities Threatened by Wind Farms Gathering Own Noise Data to Later Sue Turbine Hosts & Developers in Nuisance
People Power-Up: Kenyan Government Shuts Down Wind Power Outfit’s Illegal Land Grab
Stealing land is, apparently, seen as good business practice by the wind industry; wherever it goes, Africa no exception. In Africa it’s able to profit from long-held animosity between tribes and racial groups, exploiting old rivalries in its quest to wrest control over the land its needs to spear these things all over African soil. … Continue reading People Power-Up: Kenyan Government Shuts Down Wind Power Outfit’s Illegal Land Grab
UK Government Conceals Staggering Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
As STT keeps pointing out, it is the staggering cost of subsidising intermittent and unreliable wind power (for which there is no market in the absence of Soviet era mandates) that ultimately destroys the wind industry. Quite apparently aware of that fact, the UK government has sought to keep the lid on the figures which … Continue reading UK Government Conceals Staggering Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
South Australia’s Ridiculous Wind Power Push Driving Business to Bankruptcy: Power Prices Triple (Again)

However, the cost of that vanity project is crippling what remains of South Australia’s productive enterprise. In our recent post - Economic Carnage: SA’s Rocketing Power Prices Crippling Miners, Bakers & … Continue reading South Australia’s Ridiculous Wind Power Push Driving Business to Bankruptcy: Power Prices Triple (Again)
Undeniable Proof: Wind Turbine Noise Causes Serious Adverse Health Effects
A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and its pet acoustic consultants managed to set up 'rules' which have no relevance to the noise impacts experienced by wind farm neighbours and under which wind power outfits could ride roughshod over rural communities with complete impunity. That post … Continue reading Undeniable Proof: Wind Turbine Noise Causes Serious Adverse Health Effects
Victory in Vermont: Community Defenders Crush Wind Power Outfit’s Plan to Destroy Pristine Mountain Range
*** STT has covered the fight by Vermonters to save their pristine Green Mountains from the scourge of industrial wind turbines, many times. In this post we share in their delight, as they celebrate their successful battle to save the Herrick Mountain range in Ira and Poultney, next to Birdseye Mountain from 60 of these … Continue reading Victory in Vermont: Community Defenders Crush Wind Power Outfit’s Plan to Destroy Pristine Mountain Range
