The wind industry continues to deliver up a bevy of eco-irony, a gift to those sick to death of the moral piety dished up by its deluded acolytes. Turbines exploding into flames, blades exploding into the ether and turbines, well, just plain exploding - make a mockery of claims by cultists that wind power is … Continue reading Germany’s Ticking Turbine Time Bombs: Green-Induced Environmental Nightmare Unfolds

Industrialised Landscapes & Battered Communities Drive German Backlash Against Big Wind
Germany’s wind power obsession has turned picture postcard landscapes into alien, industrial war zones - of the kind dreamt up by futurist HG Wells. In the beginning, carpetbaggers, rent seekers and their eco-zealot, shock troops sold the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future as an ecological idyll. Except, the reality has fallen … Continue reading Industrialised Landscapes & Battered Communities Drive German Backlash Against Big Wind
Germany’s ‘Green’ Dream Turns Nightmare: Merkel’s Plans for Wind Powered Future in Tatters
Dashed hopes and bitter disappointment seem all that’s left of Germany’s, hell-for-leather rush to renewables. STT keeps focusing on Germany (and South Australia) for obvious reasons: if you present yourself as a renewable energy ‘superpower’, expect your critics to have a field day when you fail. In Germany and South Australia their respective renewable energy … Continue reading Germany’s ‘Green’ Dream Turns Nightmare: Merkel’s Plans for Wind Powered Future in Tatters
Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Their collective reliance on the wind and/or sun for power places South Australia, Denmark and Germany at the top of the retail power price league table. Like South Australia, Germany’s grid is on the very brink of collapse. Power consumers (read ‘voters’) are furious and those in power appear powerless to undo the damage. Here’s … Continue reading Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Claims that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years are a proven nonsense. What wind worshippers tend to forget is that these things have a useful (that is to say ‘economic’) lifespan of around 12 years. Subsidies are what built them. Subsidies are what run them. So, … Continue reading Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Wind Power: The Mother of All Taxpayer Subsidised Scams
STT has likened it to the great corporate Ponzi schemes, pointing out, just once or twice, that the wind industry is little more than the most recent and elaborate effort to fleece gullible investors, in a list that dates back to “corporate investment classics”, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind … Continue reading Wind Power: The Mother of All Taxpayer Subsidised Scams
Germany’s ‘Transition’ Back to Coal: Renewable Energy Push Smacks Into Reality
All lies and promises, wind and sun worshippers keep telling us that rocketing power prices and unstable grids are just minor ‘teething problems’ on our way to an inevitable ‘transition’ to a wonderful world run entirely on sunshine and breezes. On their worldview, it’s a matter of when, not if, modern economies end up … Continue reading Germany’s ‘Transition’ Back to Coal: Renewable Energy Push Smacks Into Reality
Germans in ‘Green’ Power Backlash: Burgeoning Free Democrats Run on Anti-Wind Platform
Germans are a relatively cool tempered bunch, keen for consensus and to avoid serious civil confrontation. Which goes some way to explain why Germany was overrun by these things; with thousands of them speared all across their farms and forests. However, Germans quite obviously have their limits of tolerance. During the winter just gone, with … Continue reading Germans in ‘Green’ Power Backlash: Burgeoning Free Democrats Run on Anti-Wind Platform
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
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
