For more than a decade, acolytes and crony capitalists have run the story that offshore wind power is free, and getting cheaper all the time. However, the reality doesn’t match the rhetoric. In the UK, offshore outfits refused to bid at the figures offered by government in the auction by which future (guaranteed) contract prices … Continue reading Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All

Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
The smart money is banking on the wind and solar industries’ total collapse; the smartest money was never invested in the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. With subsidised wind and solar looking more like a house of cards, dozens of grand standing projects are being unceremoniously dumped. The potential investors targeted by their proponents … Continue reading Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout
Holding hands and waving placards just doesn’t cut it. If you want to protect the environment or your community from the industrial wind power onslaught, then litigate. In this post, we contrast a community off the coast of New South Wales, Australia where a rally of surfers gathered to stave off the threat of an … Continue reading Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout
America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped
In the US the offshore wind industry is completely underwater, in every sense. The insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments has finally caught up. Projects are being scrapped in the same way that punters rip up their betting slips when their long-shot nag fails to … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped
Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
That ‘industries’ built on lies, myths and subsidies are in freefall is hardly surprising. Nothing about intermittent wind and solar have never made any sense. Now the markets are starting to cotton on. Governments are refusing to bail out wind power outfits - rejecting their ever-increasing demands for ever-increasing subsidies. The knock-on effect on the … Continue reading Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster
Ideological experiments come in all shapes and sizes, but Germany’s wind and solar craze is monumental - a monumental environmental, economic and social disaster, to put it mildly. Suffering routine power rationing, mass blackouts and Europe’s highest power prices is only just the pointy end of what Germany’s boffins called the ‘Energiewende’, which was touted … Continue reading Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster
Eagles Dare: China Wins Race to Build World’s Largest Bird Mincing Wind Turbine
Eagles and other avian predators won’t stand a chance when China starts rolling out turbines with 150m long blades, their outer tips travelling at over 400 km an hour, perfect for slicing and dicing any critter within their extensive range. When GE announced plans to build a 12MW monster, the wind cult oohed and aahed, now China has … Continue reading Eagles Dare: China Wins Race to Build World’s Largest Bird Mincing Wind Turbine
Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
There’s no real argument in favour of offshore wind power, and plenty of serious arguments against. Start with the absolutely staggering cost, which has major proponents demanding even greater subsidies from taxpayers and/or higher prices in the guaranteed power contracts they ink with governments. With governments increasingly refusing to play ball, proponents are simply dropping … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
Scorched Earth: Subsidised Wind & Solar Wreaking Economic Havoc Everywhere
Keep cranking up power prices and watch your economy slowly disappear. Subsidised wind and solar guarantee the former and the latter simply follows. Every country that has tapped into the so-called wind and solar transition is suffering from power prices that are simply out of this world. Australia is a case in point. Having just … Continue reading Scorched Earth: Subsidised Wind & Solar Wreaking Economic Havoc Everywhere
Highway Robbery: How Wind & Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World
Every country that’s tapped into subsidised wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices. No ifs, no buts, no exceptions. The cost of the subsidies, both explicit and implicit, constitute a substantial part of the staggering and increasing power bills that households and businesses are being smashed with. Australia is a prime example. Just over … Continue reading Highway Robbery: How Wind & Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World
