STT tends to leave the debate about global warming or ‘climate change’ to others. However, STT has always thought that if man-made CO2 emissions really were destroying the planet, then sensible governments would have moved to build nuclear power plants from the moment the Chicken Littles started wailing about the heavens collapsing. The French generate over … Continue reading The Nuclear Option: New Research Makes Nuclear Power Even Safer

Climate Chicken Littles Nuzzle up to Nukes as Wind Power Love Affair Ends in Divorce
**** Let’s assume (as STT does, for the sake of argument) that the global warming/climate change Chicken Littles are right: the sky really is falling and it’s all CO2’s fault. So what the HELL are we doing pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into subsidies for wind power? By no stretch of the imagination can … Continue reading Climate Chicken Littles Nuzzle up to Nukes as Wind Power Love Affair Ends in Divorce

Lord Monckton Dissects the Great Wind Power Fraud
**** Lord Christopher Monckton has been giving the global warming catastrophe-cult grief for years, with a mix of our good friends 'logic' and 'reason'; and a side helping of facts and numbers. Now, his Lordship turns fire on the wind industry's claims about 'saving' the planet in this fact-packed video dissection of the greatest economic … Continue reading Lord Monckton Dissects the Great Wind Power Fraud
Wind Power: ‘Shredding Birds and Mincing Logic’
**** Shredding Birds and Mincing Logic Quadrant Online Peter O'Brien 1 July 2015 That wind farms are ugly is the least of the problems their heavily subsidised, rent-seeking promoters are inflicting on the rest of us. Quite apart from their damage to avian populations, the very process of manufacturing them generates a vast tonnage of … Continue reading Wind Power: ‘Shredding Birds and Mincing Logic’
STT’s Take on the ‘Global Warming’ Story
**** Now and again, STT gets a comment that seeks to pin us down as “anti-wind”, “climate deniers”. Here’s one from Enough Already: I agree with your specific arguments against wind turbines, but even hosting AGW-denial articles puts me off. It perpetuates stereotypes of dumb bogans when we need all possible intelligence on this side! … Continue reading STT’s Take on the ‘Global Warming’ Story
The Great Wind Power Fraud: Just the Tip of the Climate Change Hysteria Spending Iceberg
**** The tip of the climate spending iceberg CFACT Paul Driessen 31 March 2015 Lockheed Martin, a recent Washington Post article notes, is getting into renewable energy, nuclear fusion, “sustainability” and even fish farming projects, to augment its reduced defense profits. The company plans to forge new ties with Defense Department and other Obama initiatives, … Continue reading The Great Wind Power Fraud: Just the Tip of the Climate Change Hysteria Spending Iceberg
Germany’s Wind Power Disaster: An Economic & Environmental Failure
**** The Germans went into wind power harder and faster than anyone else – and the cost of doing so is catching up with a vengeance. The subsidies have been colossal, the impacts on the electricity market chaotic and – contrary to the environmental purpose of the policy – CO2 emissions are rising fast: if … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Power Disaster: An Economic & Environmental Failure
Maurice Newman: Green’s RET Rhetoric Just Hysterical Hectoring
Inconvenient truths ignored by the climate propaganda machine The Australian Maurice Newman 7 November 2014 “LEAVE fossil fuels in the ground,” Greens leader Christine Milne says. “Renewable energy is the future.” “Coal is a stranded asset.” “It’s driving global warming.” “It’s a huge risk to the planet,” she adds, lest we miss the point. Milne’s … Continue reading Maurice Newman: Green’s RET Rhetoric Just Hysterical Hectoring
Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
The central, endlessly repeated lie (upon which the great wind power fraud rests) is that increasing wind power generation results in decreases in CO2 emissions. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for "renewable" energy to "reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector" (see s3). But, somewhere … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
