British Wind Industry’s Desperate Bid to Retain Subsidies Crushed by Court of Appeal

The greatest Ponzi scheme of all time is on the brink of collapse. In America, Trump’s 'deplorables' have crushed the wind industry’s hopes of carpeting the United States in millions of these things; shares in wind turbine makers, like Denmark’s Vestas have plummeted. In Australia, the wind industry is like a wandering zombie; quite apparently … Continue reading British Wind Industry’s Desperate Bid to Retain Subsidies Crushed by Court of Appeal

Astroturfing ‘Greens’ Destroy Viable Power Sytems & Pocket Obscene ‘Profits’ at Taxpayers’ Expense

*** Americans have got a long way to go to catch up with South Australians.

Blackouts Beckon as Cost of Britain’s Wind Powered Energy ‘Transition’ Rockets

*** Britain went into wind power almost as fast and hard as Germany: the costs have been colossal and the effects on its power grid chaotic. Fortunately, however, David Cameron’s Conservatives followed an election manifesto, slashed subsidies to onshore wind power and gave planning veto rights back to communities.

After America’s “basket of deplorables” banded together to send Donald Trump to the White House and Hillary Clinton to the Dog House, everything politicians and pundits thought they knew about politics is patently wrong.

Clinton ‘Trumped’: Vestas’ Shares in Freefall & Wind Industry in Full Scale Panic

Wind Power Outfits Reduced to Bribing Vermont Locals to Win Support

With rural communities alive to the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time … Continue reading Wind Power Outfits Reduced to Bribing Vermont Locals to Win Support

‘Peak Lunacy’: Australia’s Unfolding Energy Fiasco Cripples SA – Victoria to Follow

*** In Ridley Scott’s 1991 feminist version of the classic American road film, Thelma and Louise, the protagonists hit the road in a 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible, hoping to escape the dropkick men in their dreary lives.
