Wiping out hundreds of marine mammals is all in a day’s work for the offshore wind industry. And granting permits to do so, with complete impunity, appears to be the work of the US government. The mindless slaughter of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals is completely legit, thanks to the government-backed licenses known as the … Continue reading Fate Sealed: Government Greenlights Wind Industry to Kill 5,000 Whales, Dolphins & Seals
Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas
The myth that wind and solar are well on the way to replacing the energy provided by oil, coal and gas is just that. With or without mythical mega-batteries, with or without converting wind and solar generated electricity to so-called ‘green’ hydrogen, wind and solar power might occasionally displace conventionally generated electricity, but they haven’t … Continue reading Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas
Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster
You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But Germany’s wind and sun cult are struggling to fool all of the people, for all time. Slowly but surely, the average German is working out that they have been played for fools. As Charles MacKay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think … Continue reading Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster
America’s Declaration of Energy Independence Means More Nuclear Power
Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and readily extracted. All it takes is the wit and the will to do so. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the … Continue reading America’s Declaration of Energy Independence Means More Nuclear Power
Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels
Being entirely dependent upon subsidies and the weather, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is on a collision course with reality. European states have taken to rejecting the much heralded all wind and sun powered future, en masse. The Swedes are only the latest to join a group more concerned about their citizen's welfare than … Continue reading Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels
Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition
In the 1980s, the Swedes set out to ditch nuclear power and meet a 100% renewable energy target. Now, in the mother of all reversals, Sweden has decided to follow its neighbour - Finland - with its own move towards safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. The Finns are well ahead of the curve. When Finland … Continue reading Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition
Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Wind power is delivered chaotically, it’s costly and critically depends on the weather. So, the only purported justification is said to be a reduction of carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector. Putting aside whether there’s any need to do so, STT is happy to attack the myth that wind power does any … Continue reading Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Canada’s Wind Industry Wiping Out Endangered Bat Species At Alarming Rate
Bats are just another creature being tormented or slaughtered by the wind industry as sets about ‘saving’ the planet. Courtesy of 40-70m long blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350 km/h, rare and endangered bat species are being wiped off the face of the earth at an astonishing rate. It’s not just direct … Continue reading Canada’s Wind Industry Wiping Out Endangered Bat Species At Alarming Rate
American and Canadian Prairies Suffer Calm Weather Wind Power Wipe-Out
There’s a reason that windmills were abandoned in the 19th century: it’s called “the wind”. And it's why anyone serious about power generation, never takes wind power seriously. Sailors and kite flyers know everything there is to know about long bursts of calm weather. However, naturally occurring meteorological phenomenon comes as news to the wind … Continue reading American and Canadian Prairies Suffer Calm Weather Wind Power Wipe-Out
French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research
The French have infuriated the wind and sun cult by demanding more nuclear power generation, across Europe. The cult is equally annoyed by the (rather inconvenient) fact that the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours, which doesn't sit well with the myth about nuclear power being … Continue reading French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research
