Call wind and solar whatever you like, but there’s simply no rational basis to call them ‘clean’ or ‘green’. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent – after a decade or … Continue reading Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
America’s Industrial-Scale Solar Onslaught Wrecking Fragile Desert Environments
Spreading like cancer across rural heartlands, industrial-scale solar is leaving a wake of destruction in its path. And the often-devastating environmental consequences to aquifers, plants and animals are even more acute in fragile desert ecosystems. As Travis Gillmore explains below. Hidden Impact of Massive Solar Farms: Residents and Wildlife Affected, Aquifers Threatened The Epoch Times … Continue reading America’s Industrial-Scale Solar Onslaught Wrecking Fragile Desert Environments
Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades are headed for landfills near you, and thousands more are being dumped illegally, right next door. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. In August 2021, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally … Continue reading Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Every wind turbine, solar panel and lithium battery is the product of scarce resources, and not just the rare stuff mined by 9-year-olds in the Congo. Claims about a ‘green’ Utopia never touch on the volume of mineral and other resources required to get there. Nor do the West’s great virtue signallers pay much lip … Continue reading Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Dazed & Confused: 5 Things About the ‘Inevitable Energy Transition’ That Make No Sense
Confused about the grand wind and solar ‘transition’? It’s a sensation experienced by any rational thinker. None of what’s put forward makes even the vaguest sense, once the critical faculties are applied. Jude Clemente selects 5 subjects as a subset and does just that in the piece below. 5 Things I Truly Don’t Understand About … Continue reading Dazed & Confused: 5 Things About the ‘Inevitable Energy Transition’ That Make No Sense
‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
There is a cult that holds an unshakeable belief that wind and solar has already defeated coal, oil and gas. Not that there is any real contest. Indeed, without the hydrocarbons there would be no solar panels or wind turbines. Moreover, were we ever to attempt to rely on wind and solar power generation alone, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history - from unwitting power consumers and taxpayers to a cabal of rent-seeking crony capitalists. Greed and avarice drives them, aided and abetted by government mandates, diktats and decrees. Built on lies and running on subsidies, … Continue reading Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
Solar panels are not the most robust of power generation sources. A blanket of snow and ice readily kills their occasional, sunshine-dependent output. They tend not to appreciate gale-force winds (see above) and hailstones of any substance are usually fatal (see below). A few weeks ago, STT reported on a burst of hot weather in … Continue reading High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
Cash Inferno: Offshore Wind Power Fastest Way to Squander Countless $Billions
In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the metrics are far worse out at sea. Notwithstanding the $billions in subsidies - gouged from taxpayers and/or lumped on power consumers’ crushing power bills - proposed projects … Continue reading Cash Inferno: Offshore Wind Power Fastest Way to Squander Countless $Billions
