As Donald J Trump tells the world that America’s “not gonna do the wind thing” anymore, wind industry rent seekers are in a state of suicidal panic. As promised, Trump has signed executive orders that will pull offshore wind power projects to a grinding halt, as well as onshore projects that were slated for Federal land. And that, is only just the beginning. He hates these things, with a passion.
In this week’s roundup, we have a brilliant Jordan Peterson podcast where he interviews Alex Epstein on how subsidised wind and solar are wrecking America’s power grid, and how hydrocarbons and nuclear are the only means of providing a peaceful and prosperous future.
We have articles by Paul Homewood smashing the myth that offshore wind is cheaper than gas; Nick Cater exposes the wind industry’s wanton environmental destruction across Australia’s Great Dividing Range; how these things are wiping out rare and endangered bat species articles; a report on how Britain’s ludicrous attempt to rely on wind power has its grid on the brink of collapse (a burst of freezing, calm weather will do it every time); on how the Trump administration has rattled banks once intent on denying capital to meaningful energy sources; on the beginning of the end for America’s offshore wind industry, thanks to Donald J Trump; and wrap up with a lament on the collapse of wind and solar investment across Europe, where politicians are being forced to finally represent their constituents, an angry and growing mass of people who are raging against the destruction caused by endless seas of solar panels and thousands of ageing wind turbines being left to rot.
