Wind power's meant to be clean, green and safe as houses, but these things have a habit of hurling deadly chunks of ice at people, family homes and, in one recent case, through the roof of a College in the US: Deadly Cool: Wind Turbine Throws Ice Chunks Into US College We'd only just reported on the … Continue reading New Ice Age Begins: Ice Chunks Thrown from Wind Turbines Threaten Lives, Smashing Buildings and Passing Trucks

How Germany’s Renewable Energy Obsession Led to Rocketing Power Prices & Daily Blackouts
Germany’s obsession with sunshine and breezes, has cost it dearly: rocketing power prices and routine blackouts are now dished up daily in Deutschland. However, you’d never know it, if it was down to the mainstream media here. Germany has been long the poster child for renewables zealots in Australia, who keep telling us that the … Continue reading How Germany’s Renewable Energy Obsession Led to Rocketing Power Prices & Daily Blackouts
PSST! Want to Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
You can wreck a first world economy in a heartbeat by relying on heavily subsidised and chaotically delivered wind and solar power. Australia is well on the way to doing just that, and South Australia managed to destroy all vestige of private enterprise (we don't count Commonwealth defence contracts, State make-work construction schemes and otherwise … Continue reading PSST! Want to Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)
Notwithstanding the hundreds of $billions in subsidies thrown at wind and solar power, their combined contribution to world energy demand remains risible. Present the hard numbers and talk about the unstoppable ‘rise of renewables’ (if limited to wind and solar power) sounds more deluded, by the day. Pumped up lines about our 'inevitable transition' to … Continue reading Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)
Duped: Canada’s ‘Green’ Jobs Bonanza Turns Cruel Hoax
Hoodwinking its way around the globe, the wind industry always pitched the promise of building factories to locally manufacture blades or towers. Over time, it's turned out that such promises were just bait for the politicians they needed to sign over their constituents’ hard-won property rights, and to deliver the massive and endless subsidies … Continue reading Duped: Canada’s ‘Green’ Jobs Bonanza Turns Cruel Hoax
NSW Planning Dept Scotches Jupiter Wind Farm Project: Locals Ecstatic
Utterly pointless and universally detested in the communities where they get speared, wind turbines have one real purpose: harvesting subsidies. Communities that get organised early and fight hard from the get go have a chance of avoiding becoming ‘road-kill’ for renewables rent seekers. However, start bargaining with wind power outfits about setbacks from homes, … Continue reading NSW Planning Dept Scotches Jupiter Wind Farm Project: Locals Ecstatic
Long Way to Run: Fossil Fuel Powers the World Now & For Generations to Come
The zealots that pump up the future for wind and solar power are programed to ignore the present and bound to ignore the past. For a few centuries in human history, windmills were the only game in town. Then, in the 18th Century, the captains of British scientific and engineering endeavour harnessed thermal power, … Continue reading Long Way to Run: Fossil Fuel Powers the World Now & For Generations to Come
Backlash Against Big Wind: Victorian Communities Vent Fury at AGL
Nothing generates personal hatred and deep-seated division, quite like the threat of wind turbines being speared into peaceful and prosperous rural communities. While the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers still attempt the line that rural communities are falling over themselves to get in on some wind farm action, their spin and the reality are … Continue reading Backlash Against Big Wind: Victorian Communities Vent Fury at AGL
Renewables Hoax: Australia’s Biggest Retailer, AGL ‘Gets Out of Coal’ By Spending $200m Fixing Coal-Fired Power Plant
Renewables rent-seekers never talk about output, they only ever talk about capacity. Lines like the Windy Hill wind farm will power 30,000 homes, never come with the obvious caveat ‘sometimes’, and the rider that we can never say precisely ‘when’ that might be. Promoters of wind and solar, fixated on the hundreds of $billions thrown at … Continue reading Renewables Hoax: Australia’s Biggest Retailer, AGL ‘Gets Out of Coal’ By Spending $200m Fixing Coal-Fired Power Plant
‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply
Wrecking a power market and a power grid is a piece of cake: just add massively subsidised, unreliable and intermittent wind and solar. Ontario, Denmark and Germany provide pertinent examples. But there’s none better than Australia, particularly because it’s blessed with abundant coal, gas and uranium reserves, the envy of the World. Hijacked by renewables … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply
