**** Lunatics, like those that people Australia’s Labor Party and the so-called ‘Greens’, continue to delude themselves that, not only is wind power a ‘meaningful’ power generation source, but also that, if we would all simply have faith and ‘believe’, our modern, first world economies could be run entirely upon the whims of the Wind … Continue reading Tasmania’s LRET Inflicted Power Crisis: its 308 MW of Wind Power Capacity Deemed Utterly Worthless

Wind & Solar Power can NEVER Replace Conventional Power Generation
**** The death of the wind industry didn't come about because BIG Coal felt 'threatened' and set out in some kind of John Grisham conspiracy to wreck it by fair means or foul. No. What kills it is the fact that a growing band of 'eco-travellers' - of the kind who once placed their faith … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power can NEVER Replace Conventional Power Generation
Britain’s Wind Power Debacle: Wind Power Outfits Paid £200 Million a Year for Producing NO Power at All
**** Pinning its hopes to a wholly weather dependent power source - that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional generation sources - Britain's energy 'policy' was never going to end well. Already faced with an unstable grid and rocketing power prices thanks to its gamble on … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power Debacle: Wind Power Outfits Paid £200 Million a Year for Producing NO Power at All
Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
The dimwits from DECCs, that coupled Britain's energy future to wind power, are calling on Britons to trust them in an almighty 'Leap of Faith'. With aging, beyond their use by date, coal-fired power plants being closed this year, British power punters are being promised, by the very idiots that created the mess, that everything … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
MIT Study Shows Wind Power Can NEVER Compete with Conventional Sources
In their sillier moments, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers pitch the line that their pointless product is not only getting cheaper all the time, but go so far as to claim that wind power is already cheaper than gas and coal-fired power. Risible PR antics aside, the wind industry has always had a … Continue reading MIT Study Shows Wind Power Can NEVER Compete with Conventional Sources
SA’s Wind Farm Fiasco: $Millions in Subsidies Thrown at GDF Suez to Reopen Mothballed Gas-Fired Power Plant
South Australia has the dubious honour of being referred to as “Australia’s wind farm capital”. That ‘accolade’ has brought with it rocketing power prices, an unstable grid and routine blackouts. As to the latter, South Australians are learning to live with daily ‘load-shedding’, that even its premier academic institutions have to suffer, along with thousands … Continue reading SA’s Wind Farm Fiasco: $Millions in Subsidies Thrown at GDF Suez to Reopen Mothballed Gas-Fired Power Plant
Wind Power is a Perpetual Loser: Wherever These Things Get Planted
A little while back, the usual response from those opposed to wind farms was along the lines of: “we’re all in favour of renewable energy, so long as wind farms are built in the right place”. But that was before people understood the phenomenal cost of the subsidies directed at wind power through the mandatory … Continue reading Wind Power is a Perpetual Loser: Wherever These Things Get Planted
Why Weather Dependent, Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power is as ‘Useful as a Chocolate Teapot’
**** There are 3 electricity essentials - that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Which means that wind power – a wholly weather dependent power source, that can’t be stored and costs 3-4 times the cost of conventional power – scores NIL on … Continue reading Why Weather Dependent, Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power is as ‘Useful as a Chocolate Teapot’
Too Hot? Too Cold? Then Don’t Expect Wind Power to Help
**** What STT followers get in a heartbeat is the lunacy attached to reliance on a wholly weather dependent power 'system' - and we use that term in the wildest possible sense: power generation that only bursts into life with thumping breezes and disappears when things drop back to a zephyr can't sensibly be called … Continue reading Too Hot? Too Cold? Then Don’t Expect Wind Power to Help
Hammering Wind Industry Myths: the ‘In-a-Nutshell’ Version
