US Wind Industry ‘Built’ on $176 Billion of Other Peoples’ Money

If recycling is an environmental 'good', then the wind industry can proudly wear its ability to recycle hundreds of $Billions of other peoples' money as a badge of honour. Take a product which - as it can only ever be delivered at crazy random intervals and can't be economically stored - has NO commercial value … Continue reading US Wind Industry ‘Built’ on $176 Billion of Other Peoples’ Money

South Australia’s Wind Power Chaos: Victoria’s Coal-Fired Plant its Only Salvation

Wind cultists have been making the brazen claim that the rampant proliferation of these things in South Australia led to the demise of Alinta's coal-fired plant at Port Augusta. The perverse economics of the LRET (and the market distortions of directing RECs - currently worth $80 - to a 'product' with NO commercial value) is … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Chaos: Victoria’s Coal-Fired Plant its Only Salvation

Typically Bogus ‘Green’ Jobs Promise sees Texan Wind Power Outfit Sued for $2.7M

**** As the wind industry hoodwinked its way around the globe, one of the standard promises (well, more like bait for the more gullible fish in the pond), used to sucker in politicians was that, if (and only if) those in power were ready to sign over their constituents’ hard-won property rights, as well as … Continue reading Typically Bogus ‘Green’ Jobs Promise sees Texan Wind Power Outfit Sued for $2.7M

Killing the Wind Industry: It’s a ‘Gas’

**** With subsidies for wind power being slashed around the Globe (or with that outcome inevitable where they remain) the wind industry is being given a chance to finally experience the opportunity to back up its endless (but empty) claims about being cheaper than gas and coal-fired power. Until now, wind power outfits have wallowed … Continue reading Killing the Wind Industry: It’s a ‘Gas’

Scots Demand an End to Government’s ‘Un-Democratic Fixation’ with Unreliable, Insecure & Unaffordable Wind Power

**** It took a little under a decade, but the message is finally getting out: THESE THINGS DON’T WORK - on any level. There are 3 electricity essentials - that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Try to skimp on any one or … Continue reading Scots Demand an End to Government’s ‘Un-Democratic Fixation’ with Unreliable, Insecure & Unaffordable Wind Power

Rocketing Prices AND Blackouts: South Australians Lament Their Dark & Dismal Wind ‘Powered’ Future

**** A week back we covered the unfolding calamity in South Australia – where a sudden wind power output collapse plunged 110,000 homes into darkness, across most of the State, without warning: Wind Industry’s Armageddon: Wind Farm Output Collapse Leaves 110,000 South Australian Homes & Businesses Powerless What’s become painfully clear to the general populace … Continue reading Rocketing Prices AND Blackouts: South Australians Lament Their Dark & Dismal Wind ‘Powered’ Future

Wind Industry’s Armageddon: Wind Farm Output Collapse Leaves 110,000 South Australian Homes & Businesses Powerless

**** STT could be forgiven for being just a little smug after events unfolded last Sunday night (1 November 2015) in Australia’s “Wind Farm Capital”, South Australia. As our post - Wind Power Disaster Unfolds: SA Facing Total Blackouts, Rocketing Power Prices & Thousands More Chopped from the Grid - was being put together for … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Armageddon: Wind Farm Output Collapse Leaves 110,000 South Australian Homes & Businesses Powerless

Wind Power Disaster Unfolds: SA Facing Total Blackouts, Rocketing Power Prices & Thousands More Chopped from the Grid

**** To call what South Australia’s Labor government has ‘gifted’ their constituents an energy ‘policy’, is to flatter it as involving some kind of genuine ‘design’. It’s an economic debacle, pure and simple. The current mess started under former Premier, Mike Rann –  a former spin-doctor, whose relatives lined up at the wind power subsidy … Continue reading Wind Power Disaster Unfolds: SA Facing Total Blackouts, Rocketing Power Prices & Thousands More Chopped from the Grid

Wind Power Dreamers Put Australians on Highway to Energy ‘Hell’

*** When Electricity Bill Shorten came out to announce Labor’s 50% renewable energy target, a month back back, Tony Abbott quite rightly jumped on it as an economy destroying policy, that would drive power prices through the roof; energy intensive businesses offshore; and households into a dim, dark electricity free future. And fair enough: Adam … Continue reading Wind Power Dreamers Put Australians on Highway to Energy ‘Hell’

Germany’s Wind Power Debacle: Economic Destruction on an “Astronomical Scale”

**** STT keeps a close eye on Germany. It’s held up by eco-fascist nut jobs around the globe as the wind power “Super Model” - although, as we pointed out in this recent post, their “pin-up girl” is looking a little worse for wear: Germany’s Wind Power ‘Dream’ Becomes a Living Nightmare Last week - … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Power Debacle: Economic Destruction on an “Astronomical Scale”
