‘Progressive’ Power Policy: Ever-Increasing Prices & Ever-Decreasing Reliability

If your idea of progress means never having power when you need it most, and never being able to afford it when you do get it, then the grand wind and solar transition is for you. Guaranteed to deliver a power pricing and supply calamity, every time, heavily subsidised wind and solar are said to … Continue reading ‘Progressive’ Power Policy: Ever-Increasing Prices & Ever-Decreasing Reliability

It’s The Weather, Stupid: When The Wind Won’t Blow, The Power Don’t Flow

The wind industry and its acolytes are none too happy with the weather, because when the wind don’t blow, the power just don’t flow. At a loss to brush away the inherent chaos involved with wind power delivery, these characters are left to curse what they call ‘wind droughts’, as if the weather was something … Continue reading It’s The Weather, Stupid: When The Wind Won’t Blow, The Power Don’t Flow

Radar Off-line: How Offshore Wind Turbines Have Wrecked America’s Defence Capability

Giant industrial wind turbines with the tips of their 50-80m blades clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, and air-traffic guidance, both essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military … Continue reading Radar Off-line: How Offshore Wind Turbines Have Wrecked America’s Defence Capability

No Substitute: Poverty Reduction Depends On Access To Energy Rich Coal, Oil & Gas

The first step out of grinding poverty starts with access to energy-rich hydrocarbons: ie coal, oil and gas. Third World governments are continually berated by opportunistic globalists who claim to be saving the planet by forcing them to take up insanely expensive and thoroughly unreliable wind and solar. Some are duped, sure enough. But it … Continue reading No Substitute: Poverty Reduction Depends On Access To Energy Rich Coal, Oil & Gas

Solar Power Outfit Hit With $135m in Fines & Damages For Polluting Neighbour’s Land

The wind and solar ‘industries’ always struggle with their neighbours, principally because they treat them as ‘roadkill’. But that model doesn’t work when those neighbours are determined to fight back, using every legal means available. Such is the case with Shaun and Amie Harris, who took a solar power outfit to court seeking damages for … Continue reading Solar Power Outfit Hit With $135m in Fines & Damages For Polluting Neighbour’s Land

Pyrotechnic Pandemonium: Wind Turbines Can’t Help Exploding In Toxic Fireballs

Wind turbines love exploding into toxic fireballs that firefighters don’t even bother putting out. It’s a case of burn, baby burn when these things self-immolate. The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has caused insurers to ramp up the premiums they require to insure them. Understandably, neighbours are getting … Continue reading Pyrotechnic Pandemonium: Wind Turbines Can’t Help Exploding In Toxic Fireballs

Crash Test Dummies: Wind Turbine Maker Siemens Suffers Massive Share Price Slump

The world’s wind turbine makers are bleeding cash; none of them are capable of turning a profit and all of them are facing financial ruin. General Electric’s renewables business blew a cool $2.2bn of shareholder value in 2022. Siemens Gamesa has axed hundreds of jobs in Europe and America. Vestas, Nordex and Enercon are also … Continue reading Crash Test Dummies: Wind Turbine Maker Siemens Suffers Massive Share Price Slump

If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards

Rent-seekers and the wind and solar cult have conniptions at the merest mention of nuclear power, principally because it works around-the-clock. No need for batteries. No need for back up. Wild claims about the purported benefits of wind and solar never survive the first contact with reality. So, acolytes have to defer and deflect on … Continue reading If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards

Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses

Intermittent wind and solar deliver guaranteed grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. So, don’t say we didn’t warn you. The graphic above … Continue reading Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses

Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution

  SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
