The lamps went out across Europe in 1914, 1939 and now they’re going out, again. This time, thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Wishful thinking, combined with ideological zealotry has left Britain’s energy supplies in tatters. Germany is in the same boat, and for the same reasons. A few months from … Continue reading Blackout Blitz: Power Prices Rocket As London Struggles to Keep the Lights On
Why Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Transition Will Inevitably Fail
Spoiler alert: the reason the wind and solar transition must fail is calm weather and sunset. So much, so simple and obvious. No country has ever powered itself entirely on wind and solar; no country ever will. Anyone telling you otherwise, is either a lunatic or they’re in on the greatest economic and environmental fraud, … Continue reading Why Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Transition Will Inevitably Fail
Crunch Time: Demand For Power On Demand Means Wind & Solar Craze All But Over
Power-starved Brits and Germans will soon tell you how important having power on demand truly is. And they’ll also tell you what it’s like to receive a power bill that you’ve absolutely no hope of paying. After years of telling us how cheap and easy our inevitable transition to an all-wind and sun-powered future would … Continue reading Crunch Time: Demand For Power On Demand Means Wind & Solar Craze All But Over
Don’t Follow The Leader: How To Avoid Britain’s Wind & Solar Energy Disaster (Just Stop Now)
Britain’s power consumers (or what’s left of them) are brewing for a full-scale revolt. 12 months ago, the average annual energy bill was £1,400 ($2,400). Energy industry analyst Cornwall Insight forecasts that the British price cap will skyrocket and the average annual bill will reach £3,582 ($6,177) next month. By January, it predicts it will … Continue reading Don’t Follow The Leader: How To Avoid Britain’s Wind & Solar Energy Disaster (Just Stop Now)
Markets Reject ‘Coal is Dead’ Mantra: Global Thermal Coal Prices Surge to All New Record
Mark Twain noted reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. So too, the ‘death’ of coal-fired power. For years, the wind and sun cult have been bleating triumphantly that ‘coal is dead’. Energy markets, however, don’t share their peculiar worldview. Thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal … Continue reading Markets Reject ‘Coal is Dead’ Mantra: Global Thermal Coal Prices Surge to All New Record
Net-Zero Nonsense: Nothing Cheap About Mandated CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets
Net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are just the latest woke wheeze to grip our political betters. We’re told that wind and solar are central to so-called ‘net-zero CO2 emissions targets’. Never mind the renewables driven energy calamity playing out in Europe, California, Texas and now Australia. What is little more than a rebooted extension of … Continue reading Net-Zero Nonsense: Nothing Cheap About Mandated CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets
Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Vlad Putin is being accused by pundits as the only reason why Europe's power prices are spiralling out of control. Not so. Sure, his grip on oil and gas supplies to Europe has put the squeeze on, particularly in Germany, but its so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ - was in serious strife … Continue reading Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
In power-starved Europe, nuclear is back in vogue, principally because it’s cheap and reliable and doesn’t depend on the weather or Russian dictators who supply the gas to fill the gaps when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. There’s a reason that the French enjoy power prices half that suffered by their German … Continue reading Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
The Great Wind Power Swindle: Households & Businesses Being Crushed By Record Power Bills
If wind power is cheap, why does every country obsessed with it suffer rocketing power prices? The game of smoke and mirrors played by renewable energy rent-seekers, has enabled them to avoid any critical scrutiny of the role heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar play in driving power prices into orbit. A decade of … Continue reading The Great Wind Power Swindle: Households & Businesses Being Crushed By Record Power Bills
Murder – Not Suicide: Europe’s Renewable Energy Policy Threatens Lives & Livelihoods
When it comes to Europe’s wind and solar disaster, ignorance is no longer a defence. As STT has been pointing out for over a decade, the power pricing and supply calamity that follows any serious effort to rely on wind and solar is the only thing ‘inevitable’ about the so-called ‘transition’. What’s happened in Germany, … Continue reading Murder – Not Suicide: Europe’s Renewable Energy Policy Threatens Lives & Livelihoods
