Germans have worked out that relying on the weather for your power has one major problem: “The Weather”. They’ve even coined a term for gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’ - periods of days or weeks when their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels produce next to nothing or nothing at all. … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster
You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But Germany’s wind and sun cult are struggling to fool all of the people, for all time. Slowly but surely, the average German is working out that they have been played for fools. As Charles MacKay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think … Continue reading Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster
‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
The fact that consumers want power as and when they need it, at prices they can afford, has scuttled Germany’s grand wind and solar ‘transition’. This is one of the stories that the MSM has been running away from for years; since February 22, they’ve been running the meme that it’s all Vlad Putin’s fault. … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
Real Energy Rules: Germans Shred Wind Farm To Expand Critical Coal Supplies
Germans apparently aren't keen on freezing in the dark, so they’ve started trashing wind turbines to expand the coal supplies that prevent that kind of misery. There are more than 30,000 wind turbines spread across Deutschland, with thousands more off the German coast. Notwithstanding brave talk about killing off their coal-fired power plants, made redundant … Continue reading Real Energy Rules: Germans Shred Wind Farm To Expand Critical Coal Supplies
Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Zealots tout Germany as the benchmark for the ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar, but its energy system is a complete debacle; power rationing is the new normal and prices are through the roof. Indeed, any country that got serious about subsidising wind and solar is finding itself in serious trouble. Disastrous examples such as … Continue reading Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
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
Renewables Triumph: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germans Aim for World Record Power Price
Remember all that guff about ‘cheap’ wind and solar power? No? That’s probably because every country that throws buckets of subsidies at the unreliables ends up suffering off-the-charts power prices. The wind and sun are free, we’re told. But, somehow, the promises of cheap power at the end of the renewable energy transition rainbow keep … Continue reading Renewables Triumph: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germans Aim for World Record Power Price
Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes
Germany’s so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ was in strife before Vlad Putin invaded Ukraine; post invasion, it’s a diabolical mess. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe's highest power prices; since Putin’s Ukrainian adventure began, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. In … Continue reading Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes
Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
Germany set the gold standard for idiotic renewable energy policies, although the Brits, Californians, Texans and South Australians are keen contenders for that glittering prize. Thanks to its unhinged obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply calamity. Suffering Europe’s highest power prices, is just the … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Wind power is, by definition, a wholly weather-dependent power source. So, it should come as no surprise that - whenever a burst of calm-weather hits - those charged with responsibility for delivering power, as and when we need it, scramble to obtain it from any convenient and, more importantly, reliable source. Which is why Germany … Continue reading Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
