Subsidised wind and solar is a playground for the vain, rich and cynical, and its victims are always on the wrong side of the tracks; unseen and unheard. Energy poverty is now an entrenched feature of first-world economies wherever wind and solar play any prominence in power systems. And it’s not simply the fact that … Continue reading The Hidden Victims of ‘Green’ Virtue Signalling: Renewable Energy Costs Crushing Working Poor

Unnecessary Night-time Nuisance: Why Wind Turbine Noise Is So Much More Annoying After Dark
Delivering a thumping, grinding, mechanical cacophony, industrial wind turbines drive neighbours nuts. But, as a recent study from Flinders University in South Australia has found, there’s a reason why wind turbine noise is so much worse after dark. The pulsing, thumping nature of wind turbine noise - which relates to blades passing the tower - … Continue reading Unnecessary Night-time Nuisance: Why Wind Turbine Noise Is So Much More Annoying After Dark
Follow the Money: Politicians Plugging Wind & Solar Pocketing Untold $Millions
Crony capitalism is the new ‘Green’: every politician plugging wind and solar will eventually be caught pocketing cash for his time and trouble. Sure, there’s an ostensible sense of virtue when an MP propounds renewables as a solution to all the world’s perceived ills. But it doesn’t take much digging to work out precisely why … Continue reading Follow the Money: Politicians Plugging Wind & Solar Pocketing Untold $Millions
Grand RE Scam Revealed: What Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Is Really Costing You
Wind and solar scammers don’t want you to know what's causing your rocketing power bills, and those profiting from endless wind and solar subsidies want to keep it that way. There are a raft of direct and indirect subsidies to wind and solar, which the vaguely interested are able to soon identify. However, it’s the … Continue reading Grand RE Scam Revealed: What Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Is Really Costing You
Subsidised Suicide: How Wind & Solar Carpetbaggers Trashed Australia’s Energy Grid
With abundant supplies of coal, gas and uranium Australia ought to be renowned as an energy superpower. It isn’t. In less than 20 years it deliberately destroyed the most reliable and affordable power generation and delivery system, on earth. It started with subsidies; massive subsidies to wind and solar - both domestic and large-scale - … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: How Wind & Solar Carpetbaggers Trashed Australia’s Energy Grid
No Serious Contest: Never-Reliable Wind Power Simply Can’t Beat Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Any country serious about its energy future soon gets serious about coal-fired power. China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam are in the process of building 600 new coal-fired power plants, between them, adding to a fleet of hundreds of plants which have been operating for generations. And there’s a reason: coal-fired power is reliable and … Continue reading No Serious Contest: Never-Reliable Wind Power Simply Can’t Beat Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Utterly Shameless: Solar Plant Operators Rip-Up & Desecrate Hundreds of American War Graves
Land-hungry, diffuse, intermittent and wholly sunshine-dependent large-scale solar generators exist for one reason: massive subsidies. Devouring whole tracts of countryside, often from horizon to horizon, to produce a trickle of electricity for no more than six hours a day (in the US the average capacity factor for solar is 24.7%), is bad enough. But the … Continue reading Utterly Shameless: Solar Plant Operators Rip-Up & Desecrate Hundreds of American War Graves
Nero Fiddles: China’s Nuclear Power Push Threatens Any Country Still Toying With Wind & Solar
America’s retreat from Afghanistan has left the door wide open to an increasingly belligerent China. China takes itself very seriously on every front; whether it’s the question of military power or power, period. Building coal-fired power plants, hand over fist, the CCP couldn’t give a fig about CO2 emissions of the kind that have weather-warriors … Continue reading Nero Fiddles: China’s Nuclear Power Push Threatens Any Country Still Toying With Wind & Solar
‘Green’ Energy Myths Busted: Putting Solar’s Massive Upfront Energy Cost In The Frame
There’s no such thing as “free energy”: both wind and solar generators start their productive life with substantial energy deficits. Of course, their owners and operators are only interested in the subsidies they generate. But others are keen to take full account of the amount of energy employed before wind turbines or solar panels get … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Myths Busted: Putting Solar’s Massive Upfront Energy Cost In The Frame
Overshadowed: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Deliver Daily Dose of Misery For Neighbours
Having 260m high industrial wind turbines speared into people’s backyards often renders their homes unlivable. For those unfortunates forced to live cheek-by-jowl with these things, it isn’t just incessant turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infrasound that drives neighbours nuts. At sunrise or sunset, those with turbines on their doorstep find shadow flicker – the pulsing beams … Continue reading Overshadowed: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Deliver Daily Dose of Misery For Neighbours
