Anyone still talking about an ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar power must have skin in the game. That wind and solar fail to deliver when consumers need power most, is hardly news. STT has been laying it out on these pages since December 2012. Since then, sunset and calm weather have continued to smash … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Delusions: Promise of All Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Fantasy

Sunset & Calm Weather: Why Fossil Fuel Companies Love Intermittent Wind & Solar
The penny is starting to drop for the anti-fossil fuel squad: reliance on chaotically unreliable wind and solar guarantees dependence on fossil fuel. No bad thing in our view, mind you. The wind and solar acolyte started out believing that coal was already dead as the dodo and gas would soon follow. However, already 20 … Continue reading Sunset & Calm Weather: Why Fossil Fuel Companies Love Intermittent Wind & Solar
How Green Was My Valley: Big Solar’s Big British Land Grab Continues Unabated
To generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity using wind and solar, you need the best part of a continent do it. But, if your ‘continent’ is little more than a postage stamp to begin with, then carpeting the productive and/or prettiest parts of it with an endless sea of solar panels is … Continue reading How Green Was My Valley: Big Solar’s Big British Land Grab Continues Unabated
Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australia’s energy system is a diabolical mess, largely thanks to the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target. But the Feds can’t take all the blame, in all instances. A number of States - usually headed by Trotskyites, like Chairman Dan Andrews - are determined to destroy the last vestiges of their economies. What the Fed’s … Continue reading Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos: Germany’s Energy ‘Transition’ an Unmitigated Disaster
If the object of its renewable energy ‘transition’ was World’s highest power prices, it’s mission accomplished for Germany’s ‘Energiewende’. More than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels have made Germany the wind and solar cult’s favourite pinup girl. But there is not so much enthusiasm for Germany’s ‘green’ energy turn amongst businesses forced … Continue reading Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos: Germany’s Energy ‘Transition’ an Unmitigated Disaster
Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
Germany’s renewable energy ‘transition’ has turned into high farce: a week after it forced the shutdown of 11 coal-fired power plants, it was forced to reopen them to avoid mass blackouts. German power prices - already the highest in Europe (if not the world) - are running out of control. The recent legislated ban … Continue reading Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
‘Inevitable Transition’: Get Ready For the Insane Cost of Attempting to Rely on Wind & Solar
Want rocketing power prices and an unreliable supply? Then, subsidised wind and solar is just made for you. The very point of subsidies to wind and solar is to knock reliable, dispatchable generation sources, out of the game. In wind and solar obsessed South Australia, that’s already occurred, with a vengeance: it blew up its … Continue reading ‘Inevitable Transition’: Get Ready For the Insane Cost of Attempting to Rely on Wind & Solar
All Time High: Wind & Solar Obsession Triples Power Costs to German Industry & Domestic Prices Highest in Europe
In another ‘proof is in the pudding moment’, wind and solar obsessed Germans are now paying record prices for electricity. German households suffer the highest prices in Europe. And, over the last 20 years, the prices paid by German industry have almost tripled. Faced with the choice between going broke or going elsewhere, Germany’s world-renowned … Continue reading All Time High: Wind & Solar Obsession Triples Power Costs to German Industry & Domestic Prices Highest in Europe
German Hi-Tech Firms Driven Offshore By Unaffordable & Unreliable Renewable Energy
‘Net zero’ is precisely the number of meaningful jobs that’ll be left after our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future. Looking for an example? Look no further than the wind and solar acolyte’s pinup girl, Germany. Notwithstanding billions of euros in subsidies, courageous mandates and punitive targets, its Energiewende has failed … Continue reading German Hi-Tech Firms Driven Offshore By Unaffordable & Unreliable Renewable Energy
Frequency Freak-out: Chaotic Wind & Solar Threaten to Cripple Europe’s Power Grid
Electricity grids are like a living organism and their day-to-day survival is a finely tuned operation. Balancing supply to match demand on an instantaneous basis, is part of the trick. However, the maintenance of the required frequency (50Hz in most cases) within a narrow and defined tolerance has become a nightmare of continental proportions, thanks … Continue reading Frequency Freak-out: Chaotic Wind & Solar Threaten to Cripple Europe’s Power Grid
