**** There are 3 electricity essentials – that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Which means that wind power – a wholly weather dependent power source, that can’t be stored and costs 3-4 times the cost of conventional power – scores NIL on … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind Power Can Never Match Power Dispatched On Demand

Stop Debating the Wind Industry & Start Destroying It
In this post we documented over 2,000 Anti-Wind Power Fraud groups operating world-wide, fighting to protect their homes, farms, families and communities from being overrun and destroyed by giant industrial wind turbines. The battles being waged have a common enemy, but the tactics and strategies employed are diverse – and, unfortunately, in some cases play … Continue reading Stop Debating the Wind Industry & Start Destroying It
Tasmania’s LRET Inflicted Power Crisis: its 308 MW of Wind Power Capacity Deemed Utterly Worthless
**** Lunatics, like those that people Australia’s Labor Party and the so-called ‘Greens’, continue to delude themselves that, not only is wind power a ‘meaningful’ power generation source, but also that, if we would all simply have faith and ‘believe’, our modern, first world economies could be run entirely upon the whims of the Wind … Continue reading Tasmania’s LRET Inflicted Power Crisis: its 308 MW of Wind Power Capacity Deemed Utterly Worthless
The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom
**** In their sillier moments, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers pitch the line that their pointless product is not only getting cheaper all the time, but go so far as to claim that wind power is already cheaper than gas and coal-fired power. Risible PR antics aside, the wind industry has always had … Continue reading The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom
How Massively Subsidised Wind Power Destroys Power Markets & Economies
Wind and solar have destroyed the ability of the market to signal price The Telegraph Rupert Darwall 7 March 2016 Before the election, high electricity prices made the Big Six energy companies everyone’s favourite whipping boys. A report by the competition watchdog exonerated them. Government-driven social, environmental and network costs were the main drivers of … Continue reading How Massively Subsidised Wind Power Destroys Power Markets & Economies
Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
**** Nuclear power is the only stand-alone thermal power source that is base-load, which does not emit CO2 emissions, while providing what we all justifiably crave: power on demand. It’s true that geothermal falls into the same category, but away from volcanic zones (think New Zealand and Iceland) depends on accessing “hot-rocks” deep underground – … Continue reading Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
Wind & Solar Power can NEVER Replace Conventional Power Generation
**** The death of the wind industry didn't come about because BIG Coal felt 'threatened' and set out in some kind of John Grisham conspiracy to wreck it by fair means or foul. No. What kills it is the fact that a growing band of 'eco-travellers' - of the kind who once placed their faith … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power can NEVER Replace Conventional Power Generation
The Fantasy of Storing Wind Power: No Commercial System Exists & None is Likely
**** The wind industry is the perpetual infant of power generation: always looking for the subsidies to last that little bit longer; always promising to improve its performance; always claiming it will outdo hydro, coal and gas – provided, of course, that the subsidies keep flowing. STT for one thinks the wind industry has had … Continue reading The Fantasy of Storing Wind Power: No Commercial System Exists & None is Likely
Power Punters Pay and Pay: $Billions Squandered on Wholly Weather-Dependent Wind Power
**** Squandering other peoples’ money on pointless power sources is the new ‘black’ for politicians pocketing the ‘grease’ thrown at them by wind power outfits and the votes of fawning wind worshippers. The only loser on the ‘trade’ is the long-forgotten power punter - forced to pay double for a power source with NO commercial … Continue reading Power Punters Pay and Pay: $Billions Squandered on Wholly Weather-Dependent Wind Power
Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
The dimwits from DECCs, that coupled Britain's energy future to wind power, are calling on Britons to trust them in an almighty 'Leap of Faith'. With aging, beyond their use by date, coal-fired power plants being closed this year, British power punters are being promised, by the very idiots that created the mess, that everything … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
