The occasional generators - wind and solar deliver trivial amounts of electricity and take the best part of a continent to do it. Where land use matters, and it almost always matters, their lack of energy density is yet another reason why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources; not now, … Continue reading Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power

Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future
Wind and solar generation spreads like cancer. Dilute and diffuse, intermittent and unreliable the wind and solar generators’ demand for land is insatiable. And because every single MW of wind or solar generation capacity has to be backed up by another MW of dispatchable power generation (coal, gas, diesel or hydro) to accommodate sunset and … Continue reading Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future
World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
The hackneyed claim that wind and solar power are ‘clean’ and ‘green’ doesn’t stand first contact with reality. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent - after a decade or so … Continue reading World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
Growing Land War: Real Farmers Fight Back Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Unreliable, intermittent and diffuse, wind and solar are collectively chewing up enormous tracts of once productive farmland. The simple explanation for which is the massive subsidies which wind and solar attract. They can’t compete in the electricity market without subsidies and mandated targets, nor can they compete in the market for land without the same … Continue reading Growing Land War: Real Farmers Fight Back Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered
Wind power never adds up: it doesn’t matter how many turbines carpet your horizons, in calm weather total output always amounts to nothing. For sheer density, the Germans win hands down, with more than 30,000 of these things carpeted across Deutschland’s rural landscapes and, once pristine, forests. And yet, from late September, through October and … Continue reading Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered
Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
The Sierra Club reckons wind power is the future, but hundreds of industrial wind projects have been canned across the USA, and plenty more are being quietly withdrawn, thanks to growing community resentment and hostility towards industrial wind power. The only way to prevent industrial wind power from destroying your hitherto peaceful and prosperous community … Continue reading Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
Destination Destruction: Wind and Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring Planet’s Dwindling Resources
Miners love wind and solar - demand for iron ore and coal has never looked rosier, and at the heart of every Electric Vehicle, solar panel and wind turbine there’ a bevy of rare minerals which are fast becoming rarer, thanks to our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future and the … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Wind and Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring Planet’s Dwindling Resources
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Amount to Serious Power Sources
Calm weather, sunset and the impossibility of economically storing electricity at grid scale, render wind and solar practically useless. For every MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be an equal MW of dispatchable generation capacity somewhere in the system, to allow the grid to function without total collapse. The inherent and chaotic … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Amount to Serious Power Sources
Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
It’s not just wind and solar power’s pathetic performance that makes the whole virtue signalling exercise so utterly pointless. It’s also the fact that, to generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity, you need the best part of a continent’s land area to do it. To accommodate 2,000 MW of coal, gas or … Continue reading Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
Wilderness Wipeout: Giant Wind & Solar Farms Destroying Pristine Wildlife Habitats
The scale of the environmental destruction wreaked by giant wind and solar farms is out of all proportion to the economic benefits they provide; if any. Apart from the subsidies they attract, STT can't think of any. Wiping out entire forest habitats is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition to a wind powered future. … Continue reading Wilderness Wipeout: Giant Wind & Solar Farms Destroying Pristine Wildlife Habitats
