Canada’s Wind Industry Wiping Out Endangered Bat Species At Alarming Rate

Bats are just another creature being tormented or slaughtered by the wind industry as sets about ‘saving’ the planet. Courtesy of 40-70m long blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350 km/h, rare and endangered bat species are being wiped off the face of the earth at an astonishing rate. It’s not just direct … Continue reading Canada’s Wind Industry Wiping Out Endangered Bat Species At Alarming Rate

American and Canadian Prairies Suffer Calm Weather Wind Power Wipe-Out

There’s a reason that windmills were abandoned in the 19th century: it’s called “the wind”. And it's why anyone serious about power generation, never takes wind power seriously. Sailors and kite flyers know everything there is to know about long bursts of calm weather. However, naturally occurring meteorological phenomenon comes as news to the wind … Continue reading American and Canadian Prairies Suffer Calm Weather Wind Power Wipe-Out

French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research

The French have infuriated the wind and sun cult by demanding more nuclear power generation, across Europe. The cult is equally annoyed by the (rather inconvenient) fact that the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours, which doesn't sit well with the myth about nuclear power being … Continue reading French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research

Why Chaotically Delivered Wind and Solar Act Like Cancer On The Power Grid

There are 3 electricity essentials: that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Wind power - a wholly weather-dependent power source, that can’t be stored and costs 3-4 times the cost of conventional power - scores NIL on all three counts. Over the last … Continue reading Why Chaotically Delivered Wind and Solar Act Like Cancer On The Power Grid

Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)

Claims about an inevitable wind and solar transition show wishful thinking is no match for the laws of physics. Sunset (a daily occurrence, for the uninitiated) and calm weather (also a common and natural phenomenon) are where the physical reality begins; and the much-heralded shift to an all-wind and solar-powered future begins to unravel. Then … Continue reading Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)

Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather

Goldilocks-thinking is the basis for the wind and solar transition, which relies on power sources that can only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather

Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt

The great wind power fraud depends on unwitting land owners signing up to host turbines, on the promise of hassle-free 'easy' money, which in turn requires them to sell their souls to charming wind power outfits like Thailand’s RATCH (see our posts here and here and here). No turbine hosts; no wind industry. It's that simple. Farmers who do … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt

Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’

If wind power were delivered at an affordable cost, 24 x 365, the wind industry might just justify the rampant slaughter of millions of birds and bats, including America’s iconic bald and golden eagles. However, given that wind power will only ever be delivered in chaotic fits and spurts all avian carnage is is entirely pointless. Every … Continue reading Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’

No Accounting For True Cost of Wind Industry’s Environmental Havoc

There’s nothing even vaguely ‘clean’ or ‘green’ about wind power. An industry built on lies and running on subsidies can’t produce power as and when we need it, but is a master at producing environmental havoc at a global scale. The wind and sun cult happily ignores the thousands of wind turbine blades and millions … Continue reading No Accounting For True Cost of Wind Industry’s Environmental Havoc

Planned For Failure: Shutdown Coal-Fired Power Plants & Get Ready For Blackouts

Power grids are finally balanced affairs that were never designed for the haphazard occasional delivery of wind and solar. Maintaining voltage and frequency within critical defined tolerances is a cinch with conventional generators, like nuclear, gas and coal-fired plants, which deliver the goods, around-the-clock and irrespective of the weather. Around 20 years ago, deranged zealots … Continue reading Planned For Failure: Shutdown Coal-Fired Power Plants & Get Ready For Blackouts
