‘GUILTY’: South Australia’s Statewide Blackout Caused by Deliberate Wind Farm Shutdown
For STT, laying out the facts that disclose the greatest environmental and economic fraud of all time has been a labour of love. When we kicked off on Boxing Day 2012, STT was a lone voice in a vast wilderness: almost every man or woman claiming the mantle ‘journalist’ had ‘drunk the Kool-Aid’ - and … Continue reading ‘GUILTY’: South Australia’s Statewide Blackout Caused by Deliberate Wind Farm Shutdown
Blackout Blues Continue: Australia’s Wind Industry Loses PR War for ‘Hearts & Minds’
The proponents of a pointless power source, abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, which exists, and only exists by reason of massive subsidies drawn from power consumers and/or taxpayers have, from the outset, engaged in a well-orchestrated PR campaign aimed at winning ‘hearts and minds’. An industry that wouldn’t survive a nanosecond without mandated … Continue reading Blackout Blues Continue: Australia’s Wind Industry Loses PR War for ‘Hearts & Minds’
South Australia’s ‘Deluded’ Wind Power Policy a ‘Red-Flag’ for Wind Cult Zealots & Politicians Alike
*** There is nothing quite like being right in a public forum: especially when your opponents run as a rabid pack of deluded zealots, occupying a netherworld - altogether free of both fact and consequence - driven by ideology; and devoid of common sense, logic or reason. During the week just gone, the latest whole … Continue reading South Australia’s ‘Deluded’ Wind Power Policy a ‘Red-Flag’ for Wind Cult Zealots & Politicians Alike
Blackout Blues: Wind Power Obsession Makes South Australia an International Joke
The most recent grid collapse in South Australia (one that was not the first and which will, by no means, be the last) has left it the butt of jokes in its neighbouring States (not attempting to run on sunshine and breezes) and around the World. For a - 'don't say we didn't warn you' … Continue reading Blackout Blues: Wind Power Obsession Makes South Australia an International Joke
Batteries Necessary To Support Solar and Wind Power Don’t Exist
*** With the wind industry under siege around the Globe, in order to deflect attention from the unavoidable fact that wind power delivery is a matter of serendipity - rather than electrical engineering dictates (such as frequency control and grid balancing) and hoary old economic chestnuts (such as matching supply with demand) - the talk … Continue reading Batteries Necessary To Support Solar and Wind Power Don’t Exist
Another Statewide Blackout: South Australia’s Wind Power Disaster Continues
Thanks to its ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, South Australia has just experienced yet another Statewide blackout. SA's vapid Premier, Jay Weatherill and what passes for media in this Country ran straight to the periphery, blaming everything except the bleeding obvious (see this piece of infantile doodling from wind cult central - the … Continue reading Another Statewide Blackout: South Australia’s Wind Power Disaster Continues
UK Losing Patients: Hospitals Face Power Cuts When Wind Power Output Drops
*** In a ‘you couldn’t make it up if you tried’ moment, Britain is demanding that hospitals turn off their lights and air-conditioners and turn on their emergency diesel generators to pump power back into the grid, every time British breezes turn to zephyrs. The wind industry, its parasites and spruikers call it “demand management”. … Continue reading UK Losing Patients: Hospitals Face Power Cuts When Wind Power Output Drops
Poland Bans Wind Power & Orders a Double Helping of Coal to Keep the Lights On
Over-run by these things, faced with thousand of furious neighbours demanding an end to the onslaught, and spiralling power costs, Poland has mounted an enormous about face: where wind power was the flavour of the month for a year or two, it’s been hit with an outright ban. Worse still for Polish wind-worshippers, their government, faced … Continue reading Poland Bans Wind Power & Orders a Double Helping of Coal to Keep the Lights On
Base-Load Matters: America Waking Up to its Wind Power Fantasy
For a populous detached from the realities of power generation (or similarly detached from reality, in general) the concept of running on 'free' breezes and sunbeams has an almost natural attraction. In much the same way that infants fixate on the colourful, the shiny and the new. But, most infants tend to eventually grow up: … Continue reading Base-Load Matters: America Waking Up to its Wind Power Fantasy
