Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Since Vladimir Putin's adventure in Ukraine, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity

Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
The renewable energy pit deepens, but there’s no indication the dolts in charge will ever stop digging. The, by now obvious, consequences of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes include another annual power price increase of over 20% this month and routine power rationing by postcode. In response, there’s a growing groundswell of hostility … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
The deluded few still promoting the total transition to wind and solar as ‘inevitable’ are being pounded by reality, on a daily basis. Dead calm weather is a thing; sunset is a thing. Both phenomena are inevitable, ergo, there is no way wind and solar can ever amount to meaningful power sources. Proponents have been … Continue reading ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country. Notwithstanding the unfolding power pricing and supply calamity - driven by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar - its new Labor Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, more Elmer Fudd than Bob Hawke, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment
Weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar are the prime cause of Australia’s electricity pricing and supply debacle. So much is obvious to anybody who bothers to go beyond the drivel pitched up by the MSM and the politicos responsible for the disaster. Over the last decade, STT has laid it out in pictures, such as the … Continue reading Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment
Fascist Fantasies: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Provide Perfect Path to Totalitarian Tyranny
Few realise that Hitler and his gang of monstrous thugs were the first serious wind power advocates. The Nazis destroyed tens of millions of lives and are synonymous with industrialised mass murder, but their role as champions of industrial wind power is less well-known. As Rupert Darwall put it: German obsession with renewable energy originates … Continue reading Fascist Fantasies: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Provide Perfect Path to Totalitarian Tyranny
Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Intermittent wind and solar are a guarantee of rocketing power prices and rocketing power prices are a guarantee of economic destruction. An energy-hungry world will never satisfy its needs by pinning consumers’ hopes on the weather. But that’s the model that our political betters have been pushing over the last 20 years. How we landed … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Wind Power’s Woeful Performance Causing Blackouts & Mass Load Shedding
Wind and solar acolytes fail to mention that the ‘inevitable transition’ includes hours spent sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Power rationing by postcode is the new normal in Australia, as grid managers attempt to deal with the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. Former energy users are being encouraged not to use energy … Continue reading Wind Power’s Woeful Performance Causing Blackouts & Mass Load Shedding
House of Cards: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Total Energy System Collapse
A house of cards has more structural integrity than a power generation system that depends on sunshine and breezes. Australia’s unfolding renewable energy debacle is a case in point. Total daily collapses solar output (aka ‘sunset’) and total collapses in wind power output (aka ‘calm weather’) are at the heart of a power pricing and … Continue reading House of Cards: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Total Energy System Collapse
Mission Impossible: Net-Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets Amount to Economic Suicide
Costly and chaotic wind and solar are central to so-called ‘net-zero CO2 emissions targets’. The renewables driven energy calamity playing out in Europe, California, Texas, and now Australia can only worsen under the yoke of further efforts to reduce carbon dioxide gas in the electricity generation sector with much more of the same. As the … Continue reading Mission Impossible: Net-Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets Amount to Economic Suicide
