Germany has long been held up as the poster child for wind and solar power, but the picture is now more tragedy, than triumph. In Germany, around €130 billion has already been burnt on renewable subsidies; currently the green energy levy costs power consumers €56 million every day. And, the level of subsidy for … Continue reading Fool’s Paradise: Germany’s Renewable Policy an Economic & Environmental Disaster

‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit: 328,000 Families Chopped from Grid
A deluded band of eco-Nazis keep telling us that rocketing power prices and unstable grids are just minor ‘teething problems’ on our way to an inevitable ‘transition’ to a brave new world run entirely on sunshine and breezes. The trouble is that with every turn of this Blue Planet the inevitable consequences of their obsession … Continue reading ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit: 328,000 Families Chopped from Grid
Germany’s Wind & Solar Power FAIL: Top Economist Declares Energiewende “Delusional”
Wherever in the world governments have shackled their energy policies to nature’s ‘wonder fuels’, the sun and wind, it doesn’t take long for their constituents to enter a state of mortified panic as they recognise that their economic futures have been sacrificed to an obsessive cult-like ideology. Because so much money was in the offing … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Power FAIL: Top Economist Declares Energiewende “Delusional”
Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Their collective reliance on the wind and/or sun for power places South Australia, Denmark and Germany at the top of the retail power price league table. Like South Australia, Germany’s grid is on the very brink of collapse. Power consumers (read ‘voters’) are furious and those in power appear powerless to undo the damage. Here’s … Continue reading Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Germany’s Energiewende ‘Blown’ Away: Mutti Merkel’s Mauling Threatens Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Germany’s love affair with wind turbines and solar panels has clearly turned sour. During the winter just gone, with a total collapse in wind and solar power output, Germany had to scramble to keep its lights on using coal-fired power plants, resurrected to deal with a grid on the brink of collapse and nuclear power imported … Continue reading Germany’s Energiewende ‘Blown’ Away: Mutti Merkel’s Mauling Threatens Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Hateful Eight: 8 Solid Reasons Why Subsidised Wind Power is Both Pointless & Harmful to Health & Wealth
If wind power was a horse, its owner would have shot it long ago. Instead, cheered on by ideological zealots and endlessly pumped up with performance enhancing subsidies it continues to lumber on regardless. Impossibly chaotic in its delivery, it never starts the race on time and continually fails to finish, even when it manages … Continue reading Hateful Eight: 8 Solid Reasons Why Subsidised Wind Power is Both Pointless & Harmful to Health & Wealth
Greens Founder Calls Germany’s Renewables Policy: “an Economic, Social and Ecological Disaster”
When people turn on wind power, it's a one-way proposition: they never, ever worship these things again. And when the convert was among those who first championed the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, they don't just quietly fall out of love, they tend to become the loudest critics of all; a bit … Continue reading Greens Founder Calls Germany’s Renewables Policy: “an Economic, Social and Ecological Disaster”
Germany’s Wind Power Debacle Worsens: Too Much Power One Day, None the Next
*** Like South Australians, Germans are attempting to run on sunshine and breezes and in both places the results have been an unmitigated disaster. When power output depends on the weather and whether the sun is up and the sky isn't clouded up, results can, as they say in marketing blurbs, 'vary'. During January of … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Power Debacle Worsens: Too Much Power One Day, None the Next
‘Reliance’ on Wind & Solar Pushes Germany’s Grid to the Brink of Collapse
Wind power in Germany doesn't just look chaotic, it is chaotic. Over the winter, Germany's weather dependent power system reached the very brink of collapse, as breezes became zephyrs and the sun spent the day-time hiding behind clouds and snow flurries. Germany Facing Mass Blackouts Because The Wind And Sun Won’t Cooperate The Daily Caller … Continue reading ‘Reliance’ on Wind & Solar Pushes Germany’s Grid to the Brink of Collapse
Germany’s €Trillion Euro Disaster: Wind Power ‘Transition’ Destroys its Industrial Heartland
STT has a ‘thing’ for the English language. In the hands of adept practitioners, our mother tongue is capable of conveying all manner of complex concepts and ideas, and doing so with verve and wit. However, in the hands of the well-paid spin doctors and useful political idiots that run with, and run cover for, … Continue reading Germany’s €Trillion Euro Disaster: Wind Power ‘Transition’ Destroys its Industrial Heartland
