class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 6 February, thousands of Australian advocates for reliable and affordable power will march on the Nation\u2019s capital, Canberra (<a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/events\/652339817037355\/?ref=newsfeed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the rally starts at 10am<\/a>). The MSM will run the usual gaslighting lines about NIMBYs ignoring \u201cthe science\u201d, accusing hard-working Australians of being \u201cLuddites\u201d, victims of right-wing misinformation who should really get with the program and embrace the grand renewable energy \u2018transition\u2019 \u2013 ie paying through the nose for thoroughly unreliable, heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem for the wind and sun cult \u2013 and the MSM hacks that run cover for them \u2013 is that it only takes a matter of minutes to understand that industrial-scale wind and solar are completely pointless. Spend an hour or two on this site and you\u2019ll never look back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now in our twelfth year, STT has met plenty who started out with bubbly enthusiasm for wind and large-scale solar but who turned against the scam as soon as they got a grip on the facts. Like all converts, their enthusiasm was replaced with hostility, with many becoming staunch advocates for reliable and affordable power, especially nuclear power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over that time span, we\u2019ve never met a single soul who started out with a set against industrial wind and solar who subsequently turned supporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who march on Canberra will be better informed and better equipped than ever before. And ready to start smashing the kind of myths run by the wind industry and its propaganda wing in politics and the press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All reliable energy advocates need to do is focus on the fact that the latest grand wind factory being threatened for their patch of paradise will never provide power around-the-clock, attacking the lie that such and such wind project will power X million homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rhetorical retort is to ask precisely when will those homes receive power from that project, or any other wind factory for that matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across the Eastern Grid the wind turbines connected to it (with a total notional capacity of 11,409 MW) rarely produce a combined total output greater than 60% of that notional capacity; and, on dozens of occasions each year, struggle to produce 5% of that notional capacity.&nbsp; See for example the facts and data laid out here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/07\/16\/its-the-weather-stupid-when-the-wind-wont-blow-the-power-dont-flow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It\u2019s The Weather, Stupid: When The Wind Won\u2019t Blow, The Power Don\u2019t Flow<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average annual power output of all the wind turbines connected to the Eastern Grid sits at 28%. That is, those turbines are working less than 2 days a week. With 168 hours in a week (24 x 7), 28% of a week is 47 hours (168 x 0.28), 60 minutes less than 2 full days. Now if that sounds utterly pathetic, the worst part is that the wind power outfits concerned can never tell you, with any meaningful advance notice, which two days of the week they might be generating a little power; the power that\u2019s said to be powering X million homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s the colossal subsidies gifted (at the power consumer\u2019s expense) to the rent-seeking outfits that can\u2019t deliver power as and when you need it:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/11\/07\/highway-robbery-how-wind-solar-subsidies-drive-power-prices-out-of-this-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Highway Robbery: How Wind &amp; Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;utterly staggering cost of attempting to generate occasional power miles offshore:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/10\/23\/forever-cancelled-escalating-costs-crippling-giant-offshore-wind-power-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power&nbsp;Projects<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The destruction of pristine forest habitat:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/09\/06\/no-more-time-to-stop-the-wind-industry-wrecking-our-pristine-forests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">No More: Time to Stop the Wind Industry Wrecking Our Pristine&nbsp;Forests<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The destruction of marine ecosystems and fishing grounds:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/08\/31\/fisherman-unite-to-prevent-offshore-wind-industry-wrecking-marine-ecosystems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fishermen Unite to Prevent Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Marine&nbsp;Ecosystems<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wholesale slaughter of whales, dolphins and more during offshore turbine construction:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/09\/13\/us-govt-lying-about-offshore-wind-industrys-whale-slaughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind Industry\u2019s Whale&nbsp;Slaughter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And birds and bats:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2020\/10\/16\/carcass-count-mounts-wind-industry-callously-slaughtering-millions-of-birds-bats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carcass Count Mounts: Wind Industry Callously Slaughtering Millions of Birds &amp;&nbsp;Bats<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And koalas:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/12\/16\/licenced-exterminators-government-greenlights-wind-industrys-mass-koala-kill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Licenced Exterminators: Government Greenlights Wind Industry\u2019s Mass Koala&nbsp;Kill<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STT expects the speakers and marchers to hit back at the carbon dioxide-obsessed climate cult with the obvious and only retort. If the object is reducing carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector, there really is only one answer:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/08\/29\/resistance-is-futile-net-zero-co2-targets-can-only-be-met-with-nuclear-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear&nbsp;Power<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the lead-up to the march on Canberra, here\u2019s a piece from Matthew Condon outlining the Genesis of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/stopthesethings.com\/2023\/11\/09\/hostility-mounts-offshore-wind-power-disaster-attracts-serious-onshore-opposition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our growing community hostility<\/a>&nbsp;to the greatest economic and environmental fraud, of all time. Oh, and we\u2019ve removed all of the faux science, wind cult propaganda and gaslighting from the usual suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ill-wind fans the flames of regions\u2019 renewable energy war<\/strong><br>The Australian<br>Matthew Condon<br>10 January 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will come from the north and south. By car and bus and train. And if they have to, given their passion, by Shanks\u2019 pony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hundreds if not thousands of the wind farm and renewable energy-aggrieved are set to pour on to the manicured lawns of Parliament House, Canberra on Tuesday, February 6 \u2013 federal parliament\u2019s first sitting day for 2024 \u2013 drawn from the Hunter and the Illawarra, the two NSW regions earmarked for the government\u2019s multibillion-dollar offshore wind farms beyond 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cReckless Renewables Rally\u201d is also expected to attract similarly disaffected sympathisers from Queensland, Victoria (itself embroiled in the great wind farm debate) and Tasmania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will gather to tell their government what they think of green, clean energy created by monster wind turbines former prime minister Tony Abbott once called the \u201cdark Satanic mills of the modern era\u201d. And they will come not uninvited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Late last year former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce welcomed protesters to the big dance in Canberra, suggesting they rally in front of Parliament House as the nation\u2019s federal politicians returned to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His logic was particularly Joycean in its appeal to common sense. \u201cInstead of them all jumping up and down in different places,\u201d he reportedly said, \u201cthey will all jump up and down together on the first day back in Canberra, and these are angry people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unrest has been building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 30 reliable energy advocates rallied in Sydney\u2019s famous civic heart, Martin Place. Their pre-printed flyers included pictures of a threatened koala with a wind turbine looming behind it, dead whales floating beneath offshore turbines, bulldozers razing trees and pumped human fists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In just a few short months, following the government\u2019s announcement that the Hunter and Illawarra regions were candidates for offshore wind farms, the fight had gone beyond the regions, hit the big cities, and is now headed for the national capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has ballooned from a fevered local social media campaign in which pro-wind politicians and academics and scientists had been threatened and is now teetering on the edge of a national movement. This has become personal. And fiercely political.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the history of this fracas is ever written, it would begin at Flagstaff Hill Park on Wollongong Harbour \u2013 site of an old fort and its six-inch breach-loaded gun to defend against foreign attack in the late 1800s and early 1900s \u2013 on Sunday, October 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that day, more than 2000 protesters urged to \u201ckeep the sea free\u201d. Several speakers took to the microphone to decry the wind factory \u2013 1461 sqkm between 10 and 30km off their shoreline from Wombarra to Kiama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those speakers included Kiama MP Gareth Ward, One Nation MP Tania Mihailuk, Illawarra-based Shooters Fishers and Farmers MP Mark Banasiak, and Grant Drinkwater of the organising group Coalition Against Offshore Wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rally went for almost an hour and a half, the podium and guests\u2019 marquee on the lip of the hill. In the background, container ships plied the seaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would prove to be a trainer-wheel rally for the Martin Place protest. And now Canberra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest issues on Flagstaff Hill that day were threats to the whales, birdlife, lobsters potentially exposed to electromagnetic fields from underwater cables, and the whole \u201cfragile ecosystem\u201d of the Illawarra in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At some point this had come across the radar of federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, who suddenly expressed hitherto previously unknown concerns for the whales, dolphins and birds, imperilled by a federal government that had given \u201cno environmental consideration\u201d to the potential impact of the turbines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the largely landlocked Joyce told a rally at Nelson Bay they needed to fight the renewable energies \u201ccult\u201d all the way to Canberra. \u201cCults don\u2019t listen to logic,\u201d he reportedly said, \u201cthey just do whatever they like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr David Gillespie, federal National Party member for Lyne (an electorate on the mid-North Coast that borders Port Stephens), has been volubly opposed to the wind farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s plainly unnecessary when you\u2019ve got terra firma to put a new power station, either gas, highly efficient low-emission coal or nuclear rather than engineering in extremis, basically,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause it theoretically can be done, it\u2019s not a good use of limited mineral resources and energy to put it into something that will have a very short life span, will be an impediment to the marine platform it\u2019s based on, and will be a hazard for international shipping coming in and out of the Port of Newcastle, particularly in storm and tempest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA third of the (proposed wind farm) area will impinge upon known fishing grounds. It\u2019ll impede the bluewater tourism economy, either the whale watching boats or the marlin fishing and all that other recreational fishing. It all happens in that area. The site is adjacent to a federal marine reserve. And there\u2019s also a state marine reserve. And it\u2019s the flight path for migratory birds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Gillespie said the sheer scale of the turbines was a potential problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHave you seen what is proposed?\u201d he told The Australian. \u201cThe floating wind turbines of which there\u2019s probably less than double figures around the world. But they\u2019re absolutely massive \u2013 260m high to the tip of the wind turbine. Four huge concrete anchors that have to be placed on the seabed. That will then have a kilometre-long sea chain attached to these huge concrete blocks.
