If it were only intended as a joke, wind power would be hilarious. However, the power pricing and supply calamity that follows any attempt to rely on sunshine and breezes tend to sober things up. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output collapses are at the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle. The … Continue reading Wind Power: The Complete Joke That Just Isn’t Funny Anymore

Renewable Energy Delusion: Counting Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
The notion that we’ll soon be exclusively powered by wind and solar is an appalling delusion, but one which comes with a staggering price tag. Sure, the wind and sun are free, but attempting to rely upon chaotically generated wind and solar power is an altogether different prospect. Adding wind turbines and solar panels to … Continue reading Renewable Energy Delusion: Counting Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
Power Cuts & Rocketing Prices All Part of Australia’s Wonderful Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Australians are getting a bitter taste of their ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition: power rationing and rocketing power prices. What’s depicted above is the weather-dependent power generation chaos at the heart of Australia’s renewable energy-driven power pricing and supply calamity. The dismal data – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind … Continue reading Power Cuts & Rocketing Prices All Part of Australia’s Wonderful Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Total Failure: Britain’s Grand ‘Cheap’ Wind Power Plan Faces Total Collapse
If wind power is so ‘cheap’, then why is it that retail power prices continue to rocket in every country attempting to run on breezes? There are, as this site has pointed out over the last decade, myriad reasons, starting with the fact that wind power can only be delivered as and when Mother Nature … Continue reading Total Failure: Britain’s Grand ‘Cheap’ Wind Power Plan Faces Total Collapse
Renewable Energy Rip-Off: How Price Gougers Profit From Sunset & Calm Weather
Intermittent wind and solar are a natural guarantee of 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. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. The … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-Off: How Price Gougers Profit From Sunset & Calm Weather
No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Rocketing power prices and grid instability are two inescapable consequences of subsidised wind and solar. While sunshine and breezes might be free, attempting to run your power system using nature’s gifts, brings with it a raft of other costs which RE zealots tend to gloss over. The electricity generation and distribution system – which wind … Continue reading No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Renewables Roulette: How Wind & Solar Generators Game the Power Market at Your Expense
Enron is synonymous with fake financials and wholesale fraud, but its gaming of the Californian power market set the tone for every crony capitalist wind and solar generator, who’s raped and pillaged, ever since. The story was laid out in the documentary The Smartest Guys In The Room. https://stopthesethings.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/enron-extract.mp4 Back then, Enron’s traders would … Continue reading Renewables Roulette: How Wind & Solar Generators Game the Power Market at Your Expense
Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Brits are already paying the price for its suicidal renewable energy policies. Under ‘Bonkers’ Boris that price will be positively murderous. His plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power beggars belief. And will turn many on the lower … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
Hide & Seek: Market Distorting Subsidies Conceal True & Staggering Cost of Renewables
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value; in the absence of massive subsidies, there’d be no market at all for intermittent wind and solar. As soon as the subsidies to wind and solar get cut, the ‘investment’ in new capacity evaporates, entirely. But it’s those subsidies that distort … Continue reading Hide & Seek: Market Distorting Subsidies Conceal True & Staggering Cost of Renewables
Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy
The industrial revolution was all about harnessing cheap and reliable energy. Australia’s de-industrialisation has reversed that process. An obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has sent Australian power prices through the roof. Energy hungry businesses such as mining, mineral processing and manufacturing are watching their profit margins evaporate. Pretty soon those … Continue reading Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy
