Where the wind industry’s propaganda machine has spent the best part of 20 years trying to reinvent the facts, giving perceived substance to myth and fantasy - what American comedian Stephen Colbert defines as “truthiness”, assertions emanating ‘from the gut’ which are made because they just ‘feel right’ - STT has spent its entire existence … Continue reading Australia’s Failed Wind Power ‘Experiment’ Makes it an International Joke: Wind Power Output Totally Collapses (Again)

Germany’s Wind Power Debacle Worsens: Too Much Power One Day, None the Next
*** Like South Australians, Germans are attempting to run on sunshine and breezes and in both places the results have been an unmitigated disaster. When power output depends on the weather and whether the sun is up and the sky isn't clouded up, results can, as they say in marketing blurbs, 'vary'. During January of … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Power Debacle Worsens: Too Much Power One Day, None the Next
Europe Squanders €1.1 trillion on Wind & Solar: But Gets Only 4% of its Power from Sun & Wind
This piece was published last year, but the message is so stark it's well-worth revisiting. Despite spending €1,100,000,000,000 on large-scale wind and solar generation, the amount of power being actually delivered in return is risible: The actual measured output by 2014 from data supplied by the Renewables Industry has been 38 Gigawatts or 3.8% of Europe’s electricity … Continue reading Europe Squanders €1.1 trillion on Wind & Solar: But Gets Only 4% of its Power from Sun & Wind
South Australia’s Wind Power Crisis Continues: Gas Generators Forced to Fire Up to Prevent Another Statewide Blackout
*** South Australians wake up to a nightmare every day. Its hapless Labor government’s obsession with wind power has destroyed the reliability of its electricity grid and sent power prices through the roof. Here’s why. SA power: Gas generators ordered on as South Australia’s wind production peaked ABC News Nick Harmsen 26 April 2017 The … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Crisis Continues: Gas Generators Forced to Fire Up to Prevent Another Statewide Blackout
America Set to Cut Subsidies to Wind Power & Prevent Grid Chaos
Donald Trump is not the wind industry's biggest fan. And now that the damage done to once reliable and affordable power supplies by the intermittent and chaotic delivery of wind power is plain for all to see (look no further than South Australia), the US is out to avoid the inevitable. Starting with an investigation … Continue reading America Set to Cut Subsidies to Wind Power & Prevent Grid Chaos
Australia’s Power Policy FAIL: Runaway Renewable Energy Target Destroying Business, Industry & Jobs
*** In the, ‘it seemed like a good idea at the time’ category, Australia’s Renewable Energy Target has turned toxic. Costly and pointless at the same time, the massive subsidies directed to wind and solar power have not only destroyed once affordable and reliable power supplies, they are inevitably destroying not just otherwise viable businesses, … Continue reading Australia’s Power Policy FAIL: Runaway Renewable Energy Target Destroying Business, Industry & Jobs
James Delingpole Dumps on the Great Wind Power Fraud
James Delingpole has been slugging it out with lunatics from the Greenblob for more than a decade. Now, as the world wakes up to the scale and scope of the great wind power fraud, Slim Jim finds himself on the right side of history. Here he is letting the world know about it.

‘System Black’: South Australia’s Wind Power Experiment a Costly, Abject Failure
*** No other two word combination strikes more fear into the hearts of the wind industry and its political backers than 'South Australia'. Rocketing power prices, routine load shedding and mass blackouts are the inevitable results of South Australia's wind power experiment. Tom Quirk trained as a nuclear physicist at the University of Melbourne. He … Continue reading ‘System Black’: South Australia’s Wind Power Experiment a Costly, Abject Failure
Coal Power Prevents Thousands of Germans from Freezing as Wind & Solar Output Plummets
A couple of weeks back 90,000 South Australian families found themselves powerless and boiling in a heat wave when its 1,576 MW of wind power capacity started the day producing more than 1,000 MW, but which later collapsed suddenly to a trifling 70 MW, sending the grid into meltdown. Meanwhile in Germany, it was a … Continue reading Coal Power Prevents Thousands of Germans from Freezing as Wind & Solar Output Plummets
South Australia’s Wind Power Debacle: Supermarkets Sacking Staff, While Sales of Portable Generators Boom
Reliable, secure and affordable electricity is one of those things that the last few generations of Australians have largely taken for granted. Not so in Australia’s so-called ‘wind power capital’, South Australia. These days, Croweaters count their blessings if power is delivered at all and count their pennies every time they’re hit with a power … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Debacle: Supermarkets Sacking Staff, While Sales of Portable Generators Boom
