'Green' energy fails every test Watts Up with That? John Hinderacker 18 October 2017 The sad story of Minnesota’s green energy failure is one that no doubt is being replicated around the country. And one of the ironies of green energy is that it is terrible for the environment. Liberals will tell you that Minnesota … Continue reading Minnesota Throws $Billions at Wind Power: But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge

Economic Disaster Looms: The £300 Billion Cost of Britain’s Wind Power Debacle
*** Britain set itself on the path to wind powered penury a decade ago and sealed its fate with its Climate Change Act in 2008. As anyone with a modicum of common sense could have predicted, the result has been a social and economic disaster, the costs of which can only escalate from here. In … Continue reading Economic Disaster Looms: The £300 Billion Cost of Britain’s Wind Power Debacle
Nuclear War Breaks Out: Eco-Warriors Split on the Only CO2 Saving Power Source
STT tends to leave the debate about global warming or 'climate change' to others. However, STT has always thought that if man-made CO2 emissions really were destroying the planet, then sensible governments would have moved to build nuclear power plants from the moment the Chicken Littles started wailing about the heavens collapsing. The French generate over … Continue reading Nuclear War Breaks Out: Eco-Warriors Split on the Only CO2 Saving Power Source
Europe Squanders $1.2 Trillion on Wind/Solar Subsidies & Still CO2 Emissions Soar
If “saving” the planet is – as we are repeatedly told – all about reducing man-made emissions of an odourless, colourless, naturally occurring trace gas, essential for all life on earth – then European energy/environmental policy has manifestly failed. And what an expensive failure it is. In the following pieces, the delicious term 'irony' springs … Continue reading Europe Squanders $1.2 Trillion on Wind/Solar Subsidies & Still CO2 Emissions Soar
Wind Industry’s CO2 Emission Reduction Claims a ‘Cloak of Deception’
**** Vermont Renewable Energy Program Increases State’s Carbon Footprint Littleton Record Dr. Ron Holland 17 September 2015 In 2005 the Vermont Legislature passed renewable energy legislation establishing the SPEED program. SPEED was repealed in 2015 with legislation initially called RESET. The name RESET has been dropped as leaders thought that the name implied that SPEED … Continue reading Wind Industry’s CO2 Emission Reduction Claims a ‘Cloak of Deception’
Lord Monckton Dissects the Great Wind Power Fraud
**** Lord Christopher Monckton has been giving the global warming catastrophe-cult grief for years, with a mix of our good friends 'logic' and 'reason'; and a side helping of facts and numbers. Now, his Lordship turns fire on the wind industry's claims about 'saving' the planet in this fact-packed video dissection of the greatest economic … Continue reading Lord Monckton Dissects the Great Wind Power Fraud
Wind Industry’s Bogus CO2 Abatement Claims Smashed Again
**** Let’s assume (as STT does, for the sake of argument) that the global warming/climate change Chicken Littles are right: the sky really is falling, and it’s all CO2’s fault. Then what on Earth are we doing pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into subsidies for wind power? See our posts here and here and … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Bogus CO2 Abatement Claims Smashed Again
Psst, Wanna “Save” the Planet? Then it’s Time to Go Nuclear
**** The nuclear option must be high on agenda of energy green paper The Australian Gary Johns 4 November 2014 THE Abbott government is finalising an energy green paper (not to be confused with a green energy paper). Submissions are due today. Every group is in there pitching, including nuclear engineers. China has under construction, … Continue reading Psst, Wanna “Save” the Planet? Then it’s Time to Go Nuclear
Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
The central, endlessly repeated lie (upon which the great wind power fraud rests) is that increasing wind power generation results in decreases in CO2 emissions. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for "renewable" energy to "reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector" (see s3). But, somewhere … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
Wind Power: The Parasitic Power Producer
**** Promoting Parasitic Power Producers carbon-sense.com Viv Forbes 17 July 2014 Wind and solar are parasitic power producers, unable to survive in a modern electricity grid without the back-up of stand-alone electricity generators such as hydro, coal, gas or nuclear. And like all parasites, they weaken their hosts, causing increased operating and transmission costs and … Continue reading Wind Power: The Parasitic Power Producer
