Industrial wind turbines are perfectly designed to slaughter airborne predators like Eagles, Hawks and Kites: 50-60m blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350Kph make short work of any bird or bat brave or foolish enough to find itself in the middle of what have become giant avian killing fields. At this point in … Continue reading Filthy Facts: Wind Industry’s Environmental Footprint Starts With Bird & Bat Carnage & Finishes In Landfills

Renewable Energy Rip-Off: Paying Premium Prices For Wind Power & Getting Fossil-Fuelled Power In Return
Subsidised wind and solar is a monumental rip-off from start to finish - ‘wholesale fraud’ just about covers it, whenever power companies charge whopping premiums for what they claim is ‘green’ energy, when in fact the customer is getting electrons generated by coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Whatever the marketing pitch, there are going … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-Off: Paying Premium Prices For Wind Power & Getting Fossil-Fuelled Power In Return
Jobs First: Australian Workers Unite to Slam Unreliable Wind & Solar and Push for Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Workers unions have worked out that the key to reversing soaring unemployment is reliable and affordable power. One of Australia’s most powerful, the CFMEU has slammed chaotic wind and solar as too costly and unreliable to power anything - except virtue signalling egos. Instead, itys Victorian Mining and Energy Division has laid down an altogether … Continue reading Jobs First: Australian Workers Unite to Slam Unreliable Wind & Solar and Push for Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Democrats Would Take California’s Blackout Chaos Nationwide With New ‘Green’ Deal
An obsession with intermittent wind and solar is delivering rolling Summer blackouts to Californians, once again. That same obsession - in the form of the Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal - promises to deliver much more of the same across the USA, should Sleepy Joe Biden, AOC and her Squad get the keys to the White … Continue reading Democrats Would Take California’s Blackout Chaos Nationwide With New ‘Green’ Deal

Renewable Energy Reckoning: Wind & Solar Power Obsession Leaves Millions of Californians Sweltering In The Dark
Pin your energy hopes on the weather and prepare for disappointment. Sunset is a real thing; calm and/or cloudy weather is a real thing. And grid scale storage of wind and solar power is a total myth. In support of each of those propositions we give you the State of California. A place renowned over … Continue reading Renewable Energy Reckoning: Wind & Solar Power Obsession Leaves Millions of Californians Sweltering In The Dark
System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
In a ‘don’t say we told you so moment’, wind and solar obsessed California has just suffered another run of weather induced mass blackouts. Like clockwork, wind power output collapsed just as the summer heat and demand for electricity rose - leaving a million or more Californians sweltering in the dark. Anyone wondering what an … Continue reading System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
Intermittent Wind Power Simply Can’t Match Ever-Reliable Steam Power – It Never Has & Never Will
Wind power acolytes are a strange bunch; bereft of reason and logic and completely out of touch with the history of human development. Modern, civilised society critically depends on having affordable electricity, available around-the-clock, whatever the weather. Successfully harnessing thermal power was the technical breakthrough that literally sparked the Industrial Revolution. Millions were dragged out … Continue reading Intermittent Wind Power Simply Can’t Match Ever-Reliable Steam Power – It Never Has & Never Will
For Peat’s Sake: CO2 Emissions Rise as Wind Turbines Destroy Europe’s Ancient Bog Lands
Endless subsidies for wind turbines are said to be justified by the CO2 emissions they purportedly save. Europe’s peat bogs - natural CO2 sinks - are being ripped up, drained and destroyed to make way for these things, all in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions. Gouging 30m deep pits and filling them with 400-500 … Continue reading For Peat’s Sake: CO2 Emissions Rise as Wind Turbines Destroy Europe’s Ancient Bog Lands
Shovels Ready: China’s Rare Earth Processors Can’t Wait for Democrats New ‘Green’ Deal
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Green-left’s favourite flibbertigibbet. Her New Green Deal, with its promise of 100% wind and solar delivering power for all, for free and for all time, should have been dismissed as fairytale nonsense, long ago. However, there are plenty of pixie dream girls and boys happy to suck it up, like there’s … Continue reading Shovels Ready: China’s Rare Earth Processors Can’t Wait for Democrats New ‘Green’ Deal
