The environmental destruction caused by the offshore wind industry has completely flipped public opinion. The wanton destruction of marine habitats, fishing grounds and the wholesale slaughter of whales, dolphins and other marine mammals has drawn the same kind of attention that attracts people to multicar pileups. In this case, the characters responsible are easily identified … Continue reading Floating Offshore Wind Turbines – Next Great Financial & Environmental Disaster

Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Cornered with wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency, the cult cries “storage”, as some kind of crushing hex against the energy realists ready to tackle their delusional thinking. The ideologue never lets the facts get in the way of radical, self-destructive policies, especially when it comes to energy. The application of simple arithmetic is enough to … Continue reading Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Fake Electricity Rejected: Power Hungry Indians Ditch Pointless Solar Schemes
Only wealthy Westerners have the luxury of pretending to get their power from sunshine and breezes. Elsewhere, there are billions scrambling to have power delivered reliably and affordably, as if their lives and economic futures depend upon it. Which they absolutely do. For as long as cynical NGOs keep peddling ridiculously expensive solar panels – … Continue reading Fake Electricity Rejected: Power Hungry Indians Ditch Pointless Solar Schemes
Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex
Crony capitalists come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their political enablers. The whole point of patronage, networking and gladhanding is obtaining benefits not available to anyone else. The only people that complain about a rort are those that aren’t in on it. The Climate Industrial Complex was built on will the back … Continue reading Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex
Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
The wind and solar ‘industries’ profit from two tier environmental regulation. Where a gas or coal project gets knocked out of the park over a speckled banjo frog or a sea snake, the deliberate slaughter of rare and iconic creatures to make way for wind turbines or solar panels rarely raises an eyebrow with those … Continue reading Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
Apart from the tendency of these things to self-incinerate and set the country ablaze, there’s their ability to wreck local weather patterns and, in the mother of all ironies, raise local temperatures - beyond those of the surrounding areas unaffected by these whirling wonders. Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and … Continue reading Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
Greenlight For Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Environmental Destruction
The damage done by offshore wind farms to fishing grounds is met with practiced contempt by wind power outfits and malign indifference by their political enablers. Taking wind turbines out to sea not only escalates the cost of the occasional power they produce, it destroys coastal landscapes, birds and other marine life. And, as Robert Bradley explains below, spearing thousands of … Continue reading Greenlight For Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits - aka ‘dunkelflaute’ - … Continue reading Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
Thorium Reactors Promise Even Cleaner & Safer Nuclear-Powered Future
Adults are talking about nuclear power as if it were a long lost relative. Having wrecked reliable power supplies with subsidies for chaotically delivered wind and solar, any country worth being part of has put nuclear power generation back at the forefront of its energy future. The French are pouring €millions into research and development … Continue reading Thorium Reactors Promise Even Cleaner & Safer Nuclear-Powered Future
Offshore Wind Power Carries Colossal Cost and Delivers Zero Benefits
Never capable of delivering power on demand, offshore wind is as pointless as pushing on string. As the most expensive way of (occasionally) generating electricity, only the terminally insane would consider investing a nickel. Which is why rent-seekers rigged the game with massive subsidies, mandates and tax breaks from the get go. The value of … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power Carries Colossal Cost and Delivers Zero Benefits
