The great wind and solar scam was founded on lies, built on myth and runs on subsidies. But with Donald J Trump in the White House the scale of the fraud is finally being revealed and his concerted attack on the wind industry has rattled its very foundations.
Which brings us to the first of this week’s roundup, a piece by Thomas Catenacci, providing a timely update on Trump’s determined dismantling of America’s offshore wind industry, one subsidised environmental disaster after another.

Chris Morrison reports on how gas is keeping the lights on in Britain, as yet another so-called ‘wind drought’ (once simply referred to as ‘calm weather’) brings its increasingly wind power dependent grid to the brink of collapse.

Neil Probert, one of the UK’s top electrical engineers, provides a timely analysis of why chaotically intermittent wind and solar are destroying the grid infrastructure in a way that only engineers might understand. Helpfully, Neil spells it out in clear and simple terms: uncontrollable power generation means voltage chaos which is causing the inevitable early destruction of transformers and other electricity distribution infrastructure.

David Wojick reports on one of the more obscene aspects of the wind industry: its government-sanctioned license to kill anything on the wing, with rare and endangered Eagles among its prime targets.

Charles Rotter reports on a seismic shift in judicial attitudes to the wind industry in France – a French Court recently ordered the complete shutdown of one wind power outfit’s operation, and slapped it with a €200,000 fine, and whacked its director with a €40,000 fine as well, because one of its turbines managed to kill a protected golden eagle. That decision follows an earlier ruling where the Nîmes Court of Appeal ordered the demolition of another wind factory because it didn’t have a valid building permit. And fair enough, too.
