Following the cancellation of 758 wind projects in Ontario, its government has further delighted locals with the decision to revoke approval for the (almost complete) Nations Rise project, at North Stormont, near Ottawa. This time the decision announced by Jeff Yurek, Ontario’s Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks, was not one based purely on the … Continue reading Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species

Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
The silence from traditional conservation groups against the wind industry’s rampant bird slaughter is deafening. Once upon a time, hirsute, hair-shirted and sandal wearing tree huggers would die in a ditch to prevent harm to any of God’s other creatures. That was, of course, before industrial wind power hove into view. Groups like the Sierra … Continue reading Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
The wind industry in Germany is in freefall: in 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Over the last two decades, heavily subsidised wind power outfits managed to spear almost 30,000 of these things across rural Germany. Driven mad by practically incessant, turbine generated … Continue reading Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
Vindicated: Supreme Court Slams Developer For Ignoring Wind Turbine Noise Effects on Neighbours
Call it the ‘luck of the Irish’. Over the last few months locals have racked up a string of victories against wind power outfits for all manner of sins, crimes and misdemeanours. In November the Irish government was slammed with a €5 million fine for failing to apply its very own environmental standards at a … Continue reading Vindicated: Supreme Court Slams Developer For Ignoring Wind Turbine Noise Effects on Neighbours
Worried About Cutting CO2 Emissions? Then Nuclear is the Only Solution
As Greta the Fretter and her acolytes would have it, the obvious solution to Australia’s summertime bushfires is covering the country with wind turbines and solar panels. Whether or not this nonsense represents ‘peak stupid’, is a matter for another day. Although wits might retort that large tracts of South Australia - across the … Continue reading Worried About Cutting CO2 Emissions? Then Nuclear is the Only Solution
Residents Revolt: South Australia’s Wind Farm Planning Rules ‘Rotten to the Core’
Like Germany, rural South Australia was quickly carpeted with a multitude of these things; like Germany its long-suffering rural residents have had enough noise torment to last a lifetime. In SA (as elsewhere) the so-called ‘noise guidelines’ and planning ‘rules’ were rigged in favour of the wind industry, from the get go. And to … Continue reading Residents Revolt: South Australia’s Wind Farm Planning Rules ‘Rotten to the Core’
Shredded: After 30 Years Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Can’t Compete With Nuclear, Coal or Gas
Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 36 years ago. And there was no lack of assistance in the form of … Continue reading Shredded: After 30 Years Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Can’t Compete With Nuclear, Coal or Gas
Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Victorians can thank their dangerous and delusional Labor government for their power pricing and supply calamity. Last summer saw mass blackouts and load shedding, following sudden, routine and total collapses in wind and solar output (calm weather and sunset does it every time). Back then its Premier, Daniel Andrews and Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio … Continue reading Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels

Turbine Terror: Truckers Face Life & Death Transporting Giant 60m Wind Turbine Blades
With wind turbine blades pushing 60 metres (197 feet) and weighing in at up to 20 tonnes, those that transport them for a living are dicing with death, on a daily basis. So far, the wind industry has clocked up 195 fatalities: 122 were wind industry and direct support workers (divers, construction, maintenance, engineers, etc), … Continue reading Turbine Terror: Truckers Face Life & Death Transporting Giant 60m Wind Turbine Blades
