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
Why Chaotically Delivered Wind and Solar Act Like Cancer On The Power Grid
There are 3 electricity essentials: that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Wind power - a wholly weather-dependent power source, that can’t be stored and costs 3-4 times the cost of conventional power - scores NIL on all three counts. Over the last … Continue reading Why Chaotically Delivered Wind and Solar Act Like Cancer On The Power Grid
Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)
Claims about an inevitable wind and solar transition show wishful thinking is no match for the laws of physics. Sunset (a daily occurrence, for the uninitiated) and calm weather (also a common and natural phenomenon) are where the physical reality begins; and the much-heralded shift to an all-wind and solar-powered future begins to unravel. Then … Continue reading Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)
Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather
Goldilocks-thinking is the basis for the wind and solar transition, which relies on power sources that can only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather
Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt
The great wind power fraud depends on unwitting land owners signing up to host turbines, on the promise of hassle-free 'easy' money, which in turn requires them to sell their souls to charming wind power outfits like Thailand’s RATCH (see our posts here and here and here). No turbine hosts; no wind industry. It's that simple. Farmers who do … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt
Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’
If wind power were delivered at an affordable cost, 24 x 365, the wind industry might just justify the rampant slaughter of millions of birds and bats, including America’s iconic bald and golden eagles. However, given that wind power will only ever be delivered in chaotic fits and spurts all avian carnage is is entirely pointless. Every … Continue reading Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’
