The wind and solar industry’s sales pitch has been exemplary, but their product delivery and after-sales service is pure rubbish. Incapable of delivering electricity on demand, wind and solar will never amount to anything other than an effort in pointless vanity signalling. It’s late 2023, and the wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment … Continue reading Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time

Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power
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
Routine Delivery Failures Renders Offshore Wind Power Utterly Meaningless
Despite overblown promises, offshore wind power is as meaningless as its onshore cousin. Centuries of sailing the high seas provided the clue: when the wind stops blowing, the boat ain’t going. So, if seafarers had nothing but curses for their days in the doldrums, why would offshore wind power be any different? Not only is … Continue reading Routine Delivery Failures Renders Offshore Wind Power Utterly Meaningless
Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Europe’s great wind drought continues, unabated. Adding to the wind industry’s woes, its claims that offshore wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time have been totally torched - again. Over the last two years, Andrew Montford has been keeping a close eye on the financial reports produced by the UK’s offshore wind … Continue reading Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Real Power, Real Jobs: Unions Demand Nuclear Power and End to Offshore Wind
Among the myriad of myths propounded by the wind industry sits the promise of millions of groovy 'green' jobs purportedly on offer. In this post STT covered a very detailed study from Wisconsin on the effect of rising power prices (caused by massive subsidies diverted to wind and solar) has on real jobs. Based on actual … Continue reading Real Power, Real Jobs: Unions Demand Nuclear Power and End to Offshore Wind
Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. The capital cost of spearing these things offshore is multiples greater than doing so and some dimwitted farmer’s back paddock. Recouping that capital cost means that offshore wind power is 25 times more expensive than coal, gas or nuclear. … Continue reading Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
Want to pay a fortune for power delivered in chaotic fits and spurts? Why not try offshore wind power? The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. The capital cost of spearing these things offshore is multiples greater than doing so in some dimwitted farmer’s … Continue reading Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity?

Scam Alert: Claims Offshore Wind Will Soon Power The World Are Pure Bunkum
Built on lies and fuelled by subsidies, the wind industry is the biggest government mandated scam in history. Around the world, governments have thrown trillions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies at wind power; set mandates and punitive targets and helped developers ride roughshod over rural communities. Out at sea, trawlermen are left furious as they … Continue reading Scam Alert: Claims Offshore Wind Will Soon Power The World Are Pure Bunkum
Renewables Rip-Off: Massive Subsidies Make Offshore Wind Power Most Expensive Of All
The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. In Australia, the Labor backed construction union is howling about the fact that they can’t get an enormous offshore wind project up and running off the coast of Victoria. Throwing scorn at the Federal Coalition government about … Continue reading Renewables Rip-Off: Massive Subsidies Make Offshore Wind Power Most Expensive Of All
Run Aground: Intermittent Offshore Wind Power Costs 25 Times More Than Ever-Reliable Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Wind power is a pointless nonsense: 100% of its capacity must be backed up 100% of the time with a meaningful, conventional generation source: coal, gas, hydro or nuclear. That grouping never needs ‘backup’, ‘firming’, batteries or prayers to the Wind Gods and such like; they just work, whatever the weather, 24 x 365. Whereas, … Continue reading Run Aground: Intermittent Offshore Wind Power Costs 25 Times More Than Ever-Reliable Coal, Gas & Nuclear
