It’s this simple, really: when your power supply depends wholly upon the weather, expect it to vary entirely at the whims of Mother Nature. Last year we brought you the story of what happened in Texas when Hurricane Harvey belted the Lone Star state: Last Man Standing: Nuclear Plants Power Texans During Deluge – Wind Turbines … Continue reading Another Wind Power FAIL: Big Winter Blow Leaves 75,000 UK Homes Powerless

Risible Renewables: 30 Years and $Trillions in Subsidies – Wind & Solar’s Total Output Less than 1% of World Energy Demand
A decade from now, as grids collapse and businesses and households are driven into penury, because they can no longer afford their rocketing power bills, the current generation will have plenty of time to lament (albeit, sitting freezing or boiling in the dark). South Australians, with a deluded and dangerous Labor Premier, utterly obsessed with … Continue reading Risible Renewables: 30 Years and $Trillions in Subsidies – Wind & Solar’s Total Output Less than 1% of World Energy Demand
Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Proves Promise of Cheap Renewable Power a Cruel Hoax
Chasing the dream of cheap and reliable ‘clean/green’ wind and solar power has turned out more like an LSD-fuelled Unicorn hunt. Any idiot can make a promise, but delivering is altogether another matter. The wind industry and its few remaining champions keep telling us that, one day soon, magical forces will align and power prices … Continue reading Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Proves Promise of Cheap Renewable Power a Cruel Hoax
Wind Industry Salvage Mission: Turnbull Government Set to Squander $10 billion on Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Boondoggle
The patrician and aloof Malcolm Turnbull continues as a parody of a PM. At a point when most political leaders would be reacting to the wholesale destruction of businesses and whole industries (along with tens of thousands of meaningful jobs) caused by spiralling power costs, Turnbull literally headed for the hills to pump his … Continue reading Wind Industry Salvage Mission: Turnbull Government Set to Squander $10 billion on Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Boondoggle
Stable, Reliable Coal-Fired Power Still the Cheapest By a Country Mile
You’ve got to hand it to the wind cult. Australia’s dwindling band of wind industry spruikers keep telling us that the answer to cheaper power prices is out there blowin’ in the wind. The more deranged among their number have been telling us that wind power is actually cheaper than coal-fired power, for years. There’s … Continue reading Stable, Reliable Coal-Fired Power Still the Cheapest By a Country Mile
South Australia’s Electric ‘La-La Land’: Renewables Debacle Adds 124% to Wholesale Prices
One of the wind cult’s more pathetic efforts in late 2017 was to run a line that notionally wind powered South Australia’s wholesale power prices were finally heading south. All thanks, of course, to the wonder of sunshine and breezes. Meanwhile, back on earth, the reality is that South Australia’s wholesale power prices have increased … Continue reading South Australia’s Electric ‘La-La Land’: Renewables Debacle Adds 124% to Wholesale Prices
Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster Sending Industries Offshore & Killing Thousands of Jobs
Australia’s industry leaders are screaming blue murder: power costs have doubled in less than three years and are set to do the same again. How they got that way is no mystery to STT followers: Guilty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Drive Australia’s Rocketing Retail Power Prices In fact, the culprits are so easy to identify … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster Sending Industries Offshore & Killing Thousands of Jobs
Rocketing Power Prices & Chaotic Supply Send Australian Businesses Packing to Pennsylvania USA
Every viable business depends upon a reliable and affordable electricity supply. In Australia, thanks to its suicidal renewable energy policies, that essential combination is now a relic of history. The chaos and staggering cost of intermittent wind and solar power has sent power prices through the roof and left its grid on the brink of … Continue reading Rocketing Power Prices & Chaotic Supply Send Australian Businesses Packing to Pennsylvania USA
Germany Squanders $Trillions on Subsidised Wind & Solar But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
As we are continually reminded, CO2 emissions from fossil-fuelled power generators are all set to incinerate the planet. $Trillions in subsidies have been literally thrown to the sun and the wind, purportedly to kill coal, for good. To all but the most deluded, it’s fairly apparent that utterly weather dependent wind and solar will never … Continue reading Germany Squanders $Trillions on Subsidised Wind & Solar But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
Nuclear Retreat Leaves Wind ‘Powered’ Germany’s Power Grid on the Brink of Collapse
Act in haste, repent at your leisure. Germany’s rush to wind and solar, while shutting down what was one of Europe’s largest and most reliable nuclear power generation fleets will go down as one of the greatest economic and environmental disasters of all time. Spooked by an incident at a nuclear reactor at Fukushima, resulting … Continue reading Nuclear Retreat Leaves Wind ‘Powered’ Germany’s Power Grid on the Brink of Collapse
