Japanese Pyro Saga: Wind Turbine Explodes in Fireball at Nuclear Power Plant

STT followers might have twigged to our sense of irony which, on the odd occasion, drifts all the way to sarcasm. Sometimes a wry line requires considered imagination.

More Wind Turbine Self-Incinerations & 10 Tonne Blade Throws

For something that the wind industry keeps telling us is as rare as hen's teeth, the unshackling of 10 tonne blades (euphemistically called 'component liberation'), the total collapse of 200-300 tonne turbines and the spontaneous combustion of turbine generators (and the 1,000 litres of highly toxic gear and hydraulic oil that slosh around inside the … Continue reading More Wind Turbine Self-Incinerations & 10 Tonne Blade Throws

Fry-day Funnies: Wind Turbines ‘Explode’ onto the World Energy Stage

Only the Germans could come up with a single word to capture the churlish sentiment of feeling a sense of malicious glee at another’s downfall.

Looking for Safe, Affordable, CO2 Free Power? Then it’s Nukes or Nothing

**** 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.

2 Year Old Siemens Turbines Falling Apart: Wind Farm Investors, Get Out While You Can

These days, the spontaneous combustion of wind turbines is an occurrence so common that STT is thinking about opening a sub-branch that deals exclusively with their terrifying pyrotechnic-melt-downs. Giant fan conflagrations are 10 times more common than the wind industry and its parasites will ever admit (see our post here). And these unscheduled fireworks shows … Continue reading 2 Year Old Siemens Turbines Falling Apart: Wind Farm Investors, Get Out While You Can

**** Greens’ silence on folly of wind and solar power News Weekly Ian Plimer 25 October 2014 A simple evaluation of ideological electricity shows that it is unsustainable. The answer is certainly not blowing in the wind.
