When disaster threatens the rational retreat, but the clown soldiers on and even doubles down, accelerating the race to oblivion. Facts are treated with contempt; reality with derision. So it is with the grand wind and solar transition. It’s a disease of the mind that allows for the belief that a first world economy can … Continue reading Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge

Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses
Intermittent wind and solar deliver guaranteed grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. So, don’t say we didn’t warn you. The graphic above … Continue reading Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses
War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
The obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has few winners and plenty of losers. The latter include the householders and businesses being crushed by power price increases of a magnitude that few of them can afford, and none of them expected (having been consistently lied to by the politicos and MSM … Continue reading War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Following the closure of another coal-fired power plant, Australians have just been told their power bills will jump by 25 to 30% come July. That colossal hike follows annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was … Continue reading Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises
Any increase in dependence on intermittent wind and solar guarantees ever-increasing power prices. In Australia, that trend was set in 2010, following a massive expansion in the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, brought in under then Labor PM, Kevin Rudd. The cost to consumers was always going to be colossal; what the energy boffins didn’t … Continue reading No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises
Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)
South Australia’s infamous Statewide blackout on 28 September 2016 was caused by wind turbines that couldn’t handle a vigorous spring storm front. Wind speeds exceeded 25m/s (90km/h), which meant turbines at the bulk of its (then 18) wind farms shut down automatically to protect themselves from catastrophic self-destruction. Metropolitan Adelaide was without power for hours, … Continue reading Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)
Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines
Wind power will never truly compete with reliable generators, hence the endless subsidies. Now, the wind industry wants even more subsidies to pay for the transmission lines that would allow it to send its chaotic wares halfway across Australia. The claim is that another so-called ‘interconnector’ will help South Australian wind power outfits to deliver … Continue reading Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines
How to Waste Mountains of Energy: Turn Wind & Solar Power Into Hydrogen Gas & Burn the Gas
The belief that wind and solar will soon power us is delusional, turning those intermittent sources into hydrogen gas is positively insane, on every level. Renewable energy rent seekers have seized on the concept of producing hydrogen gas using wind and solar as a way of converting useless, unpredictable and unreliable electricity into something that … Continue reading How to Waste Mountains of Energy: Turn Wind & Solar Power Into Hydrogen Gas & Burn the Gas
‘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
JobSeeker: Australia’s Economic Recovery Demands End to Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar
Putting a million Australians back to work requires a complete overhaul of Australia’s suicidal energy policies. The Federal and State government dictated coronavirus lockdowns have delivered Australia’s first recession in over 30 years; unemployment rates - already climbing - are set to skyrocket when the JobKeeper employment subsidy to businesses runs out in September; close … Continue reading JobSeeker: Australia’s Economic Recovery Demands End to Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar
