George Orwell conjured up his nightmare world of malicious bureaucrats engaged in pernicious mind control in his novel, 1984. At the time 1984 hit bookshelves in 1949, it was largely taken as a warning; directed at avoiding a future dominated by a malign few, at the expense of a pliant and gullible many. As the … Continue reading Fighting Ontario’s Orwellian Nightmare: Real Environmentalists Crush Wind Farm Plan – With Rare Turtle’s Help’

Wind Power Investors Fleeced: Teenage Turbines Falling Apart in Donegal
**** Wind power outfits still make wild claims about these things running on the smell of an oily rag and lasting for 25 years or more, needing little more than a hug from time to time. However, the operations and maintenance cost of these things is around $25 per MWh - hardly the zero marginal … Continue reading Wind Power Investors Fleeced: Teenage Turbines Falling Apart in Donegal
UK’s Wind Power Nightmare Hits High Farce: Having Wrecked Everything, Wind Industry Now Says ‘Britain Not Windy Enough’
Wind is an occasional ally in all sorts of recreational pursuits: sailing, kite surfing, puffing on a ready-to-burst dandelion and watching their parasol seeds drift skywards, and the childish delight of sending kites aloft. But it's taken a special breed of Muppet to turn a source of sporadic fun into a ridiculously expensive, sometime source … Continue reading UK’s Wind Power Nightmare Hits High Farce: Having Wrecked Everything, Wind Industry Now Says ‘Britain Not Windy Enough’
US Wind Industry ‘Built’ on $176 Billion of Other Peoples’ Money
If recycling is an environmental 'good', then the wind industry can proudly wear its ability to recycle hundreds of $Billions of other peoples' money as a badge of honour. Take a product which - as it can only ever be delivered at crazy random intervals and can't be economically stored - has NO commercial value … Continue reading US Wind Industry ‘Built’ on $176 Billion of Other Peoples’ Money
Wind Power Scandal Explodes & ‘Heads Must Roll’: James Delingpole Lists Britain’s ‘Most Wanted’
A week or so back, ex-Department of Energy and Climate Change apparatchik, and now head of RenewableUK, Hugh McNeal dropped the mother of all clangers, when talking about the “future” of wind power in Britain (see our post here).

Trillion Dollar Irony: Europe’s Wind Rush Sends CO2 Emissions Soaring
If “saving” the planet is – as we are repeatedly told – all about reducing man-made emissions of an odourless, colourless, naturally occurring trace gas, essential for all life on earth – then European energy/environmental policy has manifestly failed. And what an expensive failure it is. In the following piece, the delicious term ‘irony’ springs … Continue reading Trillion Dollar Irony: Europe’s Wind Rush Sends CO2 Emissions Soaring
Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
Pinning its hopes to a wholly weather dependent power source – that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional generation sources – Britain’s energy ‘policy’ was never going to end well. Already faced with an unstable grid and rocketing power prices thanks to its gamble on wind … Continue reading Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
How to Spot Wind Industry Lies: Watch their Lips Move & Noses Grow
Back in September last year we covered the antics of another foreign owned wind power outfit struggling to come to grips with the fact that Australian rural communities have had – as they say – ‘a gutful’ of the wind industry’s lies, treachery and deceit. And they’ve especially had enough of the bully-boy, stand-over tactics … Continue reading How to Spot Wind Industry Lies: Watch their Lips Move & Noses Grow
Wind is ‘Free’: It’s Wind Power That Has Cost Us $BILLIONS
The wind cult keeps telling us that the wind is 'free' and, limited to that, there could be no quibble. However, what their tortured meaning extends to is the claim that electricity generated by allowing these things to caress the breeze is also free; or if not literally 'free', so cheap as to be truly … Continue reading Wind is ‘Free’: It’s Wind Power That Has Cost Us $BILLIONS
