The wind industry treats natural meteorological phenomenon - like calm weather - as a grand conspiracy. They’ve even coined their very own curse, calling such lengthy events “wind droughts”. Wind and solar-dependent Germans call gloomy, windless weather ‘dunkelflaute’. Wild claims being smashed by nature is a common feature of earthly hubris. Icarus learnt the hard … Continue reading Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry

Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Long bursts of calm weather are no mystery to sailors and kite flyers, but the wind industry apparently never got the memo. Hence the type of indignation expressed when the wind fails to materialize - in its financial statements, Australian outfit, Infigen has repeatedly cursed the Wind Gods for its often-dismal profit results. The industry … Continue reading Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
In the mother of all ironies, Europe’s wind and sun cult are complaining about uncooperative weather. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather. Which, in reality, means little or nothing by way of output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of … Continue reading Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
Dead Calm Weather Exposes The Great ‘Green’ Energy Lie Almost Every Single Day
If you believe that the ‘cheque’s in the mail’, ‘the wind is always blowing somewhere’ and ‘the sun never sets’, you’ll believe anything. STT is dedicated to exposing the lie that we are well on our way to an inevitable transition to an all-wind and sun-powered future.

World’s Woeful Wind Power Output Spells Doom For Renewable Energy Rent Seekers
Don McLean’s American Pie was all about the day the music died; 2021 was all about the year that the wind industry died. Its well-worn claim that wind power is just a heartbeat away from replacing meaningful power sources - such as coal, gas and nuclear - took a battering across the globe last year. … Continue reading World’s Woeful Wind Power Output Spells Doom For Renewable Energy Rent Seekers
Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
Appears the climate doomsayers were right: the ‘Big Calm’ has struck Britain and Western Europe - slashing wind power output, without relent. Far from being the panacea for a changing climate, wind power generation is now, apparently, a victim. Over the last few months, wind power output has thoroughly collapsed in Germany, across Western Europe … Continue reading Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
