Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure

The claim that spreading wind turbines far and wide means you’ll have power around-the-clock is just more wind industry myth. Australia’s Eastern Grid provides all the evidence required to render that story plainly risible - and it can all be done with pictures. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all over … Continue reading Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure

Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts

Long bursts of calm weather are no mystery to sailors and kite flyers, but the wind industry apparently never got the memo. Hence the type of indignation expressed when the wind fails to materialize - in its financial statements, Australian outfit, Infigen has repeatedly cursed the Wind Gods for its often-dismal profit results. The industry … Continue reading Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts

Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment

Weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar are the prime cause of Australia’s electricity pricing and supply debacle. So much is obvious to anybody who bothers to go beyond the drivel pitched up by the MSM and the politicos responsible for the disaster. Over the last decade, STT has laid it out in pictures, such as the … Continue reading Hitch Your Power Needs to Sunshine & Breezes – Get Ready for Regular Disappointment

It’s Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power That’s Powering Australia & Will Be For Years to Come

Another burst of calm weather has proved the point: anyone who believes wind power is a meaningful power source, is delusional. The wind and solar cult keep telling us that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The same crowd also claims that coal-fired power is dead as the dodo. … Continue reading It’s Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power That’s Powering Australia & Will Be For Years to Come

Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Power Output Just Keeps On Collapsing, Time & Time Again

If you’re looking for a definition of ‘hopeless joke’, look no further than the daily contribution of Australia’s 6,960 MW industrial wind power fleet. One hackneyed myth relied upon by the wind cult in this country (everywhere, really) is that the “wind is always blowing somewhere”. Which is complete and utter bollocks. Spread from Far … Continue reading Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Power Output Just Keeps On Collapsing, Time & Time Again

Mind The Gaps: Wind Power Delivers Massive Daily Output Collapses Across Australia

There’s nothing like wind power when it comes to delivering grid chaos. It’s all about the weather, really. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, what’s depicted above and below speaks volumes about just how pathetic is the ‘performance’ of Australia’s wind power fleet. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all … Continue reading Mind The Gaps: Wind Power Delivers Massive Daily Output Collapses Across Australia

Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless

Weather-dependent wind power has no inherent commercial value, simply because it can't be delivered as and when it’s needed. The only “value” is the massive and endless subsidies that it attracts. The graph above depicts the output for the month of March, from every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid, with a total notional … Continue reading Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless

Australia’s Failed Wind Power ‘Experiment’ Makes it an International Joke: Wind Power Output Totally Collapses (Again)

Where the wind industry’s propaganda machine has spent the best part of 20 years trying to reinvent the facts, giving perceived substance to myth and fantasy - what American comedian Stephen Colbert defines as “truthiness”, assertions emanating ‘from the gut’ which are made because they just ‘feel right’ - STT has spent its entire existence … Continue reading Australia’s Failed Wind Power ‘Experiment’ Makes it an International Joke: Wind Power Output Totally Collapses (Again)
