Maurice Newman was the former head of Deutsche Bank, the ABC and ASX so you’d think he might know a thing or two about economics and business. Maurice doesn’t mince his words about these things: calling wind power “a crime against the people” (see our post here). Maurice has also previously made the connection between … Continue reading Wind Industry Corruption in NSW: Maurice Newman Lifts the Lid

Climate Change Probably Won’t Kill You, But Having No Power Certainly Will
**** When we see the term 'AGW', we understand those that propound it to hold “global warming” as an irrefutable fact. It is, however, a theory with which there is only one problem: and that’s the evidence. Even the most hysterical have been forced to accept the fact that global surface temperatures have not budged … Continue reading Climate Change Probably Won’t Kill You, But Having No Power Certainly Will
South Australia – Wind Powered Train Wreck: Power Supply Chaos Strands Thousands of Commuters
South Australia's wind powered economy is a picture of reliability (see above and below). In its capital, Adelaide, for 2 days in row (28 and 29 April) thousands of hopeful commuters were left to their own devices, as wild variations in wind power output wrecked the power supply to its Seaford/Tonsley electric train line. We'll … Continue reading South Australia – Wind Powered Train Wreck: Power Supply Chaos Strands Thousands of Commuters
The Staggering Cost of Pointless Wind Power: Can Australia Avoid Economic Suicide?
South Australia has earned the unenviable title of Australia’s ‘Wind Power Capital’. For its sins it has seen power prices rocket (the forward price, at $90 per MWh is more than double its neighbour Victoria’s) and unemployment with it: worse is yet to come, on both scores. Then there’s the grid instability and state-wide blackouts … Continue reading The Staggering Cost of Pointless Wind Power: Can Australia Avoid Economic Suicide?
Desperate Salvage Mission: Europeans Slash Wind & Solar Subsidy Schemes
Europe’s Energy Crisis Poses Warning for the U.S. Breitbart Terry Jarret 14 April 2016 Europe has a problem that may soon become ours. Countries including Germany, Spain, and England are finding that their recent “green energy” experiments are proving too costly to continue. Between 2005—when the European Union adopted its emissions trading scheme—and 2014, residential … Continue reading Desperate Salvage Mission: Europeans Slash Wind & Solar Subsidy Schemes
Wind Power: Dangerous, Expensive, Pointless, Bird, Bat & Community Killer
Producing power with NO commercial value (save the massive taxpayer/power consumer subsidies it attracts); at a cost 3-4 times that of the reliable and secure stuff; spontaneously bursting into flame, throwing 10 tonne blades to the four winds or crashing to Earth in fits of vertical surrender, and along the way prematurely taking more than … Continue reading Wind Power: Dangerous, Expensive, Pointless, Bird, Bat & Community Killer
Wind Power in Germany: the Perfect Example of an Energy Fiasco
**** STT followers may wonder at our recent focus on Germany. The reason we pick on Deutschland is simply that - in making any point - it's best done with examples. Readily identifiable examples. But that doesn't mean the scenario in question is one worth following. Oh no. There are plenty of bad examples, used … Continue reading Wind Power in Germany: the Perfect Example of an Energy Fiasco
Bad Blood: Fatal Brawl Follows Pacific Hydro’s Desecration of Aboriginal Sacred Burial Site at Cape Bridgewater Wind Farm
**** Nothing divides a community like a wind farm. And that inviolable rule applies with equal force to Australia’s Aboriginal communities. To say that Australia’s Aboriginal history is both long and proud is mastery in understatement. Scientific estimates vary, but there have been Aboriginal footprints on this continent for somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 years. … Continue reading Bad Blood: Fatal Brawl Follows Pacific Hydro’s Desecration of Aboriginal Sacred Burial Site at Cape Bridgewater Wind Farm
Denmark Slashes Wind Power Subsidies to Curb Runaway Power Costs
When the wind industry and its worshippers start chanting their mantras about the ‘wonders’ of wind, it isn’t long before they start preaching about the examples purportedly set by the Europeans; and, in particular, the Nordic nations. That the great wind power fraud was driven by Denmark’s struggling turbine maker, Vestas probably has a fair … Continue reading Denmark Slashes Wind Power Subsidies to Curb Runaway Power Costs
German Wind Farm Backlash Builds: Bavaria Slams Brakes On Wind Turbine Roll-Out
**** Germany's rural vistas of rolling hills, cloaked in pine, spruce, beech and oak, verdant valleys and delightful gothic homes, that fall from the pages of the Brothers Grimm, have been over-run with more than 20,000 of these things. If there was still a market for Picture Postcards, then the State of Bavaria would be … Continue reading German Wind Farm Backlash Builds: Bavaria Slams Brakes On Wind Turbine Roll-Out
