Wind power is delivered chaotically, it’s costly and critically depends on the weather. So, the only purported justification is said to be a reduction of carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector. Putting aside whether there’s any need to do so, STT is happy to attack the myth that wind power does any … Continue reading Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions

What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
There’s a new definition of insanity: trying to satisfy net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets without nuclear power. Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison’s energy policy falls well within that definition, which probably makes this country one of the largest lunatic asylums, on earth. Morrison headed off to Glasgow to join 25,000 virtue signallers, crony capitalists and … Continue reading What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
Minnesota Throws $Billions at Wind Power: But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
'Green' energy fails every test Watts Up with That? John Hinderacker 18 October 2017 The sad story of Minnesota’s green energy failure is one that no doubt is being replicated around the country. And one of the ironies of green energy is that it is terrible for the environment. Liberals will tell you that Minnesota … Continue reading Minnesota Throws $Billions at Wind Power: But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
Europe Squanders $1.2 Trillion on Wind/Solar Subsidies & Still CO2 Emissions Soar
If “saving” the planet is – as we are repeatedly told – all about reducing man-made emissions of an odourless, colourless, naturally occurring trace gas, essential for all life on earth – then European energy/environmental policy has manifestly failed. And what an expensive failure it is. In the following pieces, the delicious term 'irony' springs … Continue reading Europe Squanders $1.2 Trillion on Wind/Solar Subsidies & Still CO2 Emissions Soar
Wind Industry’s CO2 Abatement Claims Go Up in Smoke
The central, endlessly repeated lie upon which the wind industry seeks to 'justify' the colossal and endless subsidies upon which it critically depends; the destruction of wind farm neighbours' health, wealth and happiness; and the slaughter of millions of birds and bats, is that wind power causes substantial reductions of CO2 emissions in the electricity … Continue reading Wind Industry’s CO2 Abatement Claims Go Up in Smoke
Canada’s Wind Power Debacle: $Billions Wasted with CO2 Emissions to Double
Ontario is the place where the most bizarre energy policy in the world has seen thousands of these things speared into the backyards of homes – in the most agriculturally productive part of Canada. When we say “bizarre” we mean completely bonkers. Canada has one of the “cleanest” power generation mixes on the planet, with … Continue reading Canada’s Wind Power Debacle: $Billions Wasted with CO2 Emissions to Double
Wind Industry’s Bogus CO2 Abatement Claims Smashed Again
**** 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. Then what on Earth are we doing pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into subsidies for wind power? See our posts here and here and … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Bogus CO2 Abatement Claims Smashed Again

Clean Energy’s Dirty Secret National Review Online Rupert Darwall 23 September 2014 Renewable energy has become a potent rallying cry uniting Hollywood and the Beltway. “We can move our economy town by town, state by state to renewable energy and a sustainable future,” Leonardo DiCaprio says in his eight-minute climate movie Carbon, released in August. … Continue reading Wind Power’s True & Hidden Costs: A Dirty Big Secret
Wind Power: The Parasitic Power Producer
**** Promoting Parasitic Power Producers carbon-sense.com Viv Forbes 17 July 2014 Wind and solar are parasitic power producers, unable to survive in a modern electricity grid without the back-up of stand-alone electricity generators such as hydro, coal, gas or nuclear. And like all parasites, they weaken their hosts, causing increased operating and transmission costs and … Continue reading Wind Power: The Parasitic Power Producer
