Rural communities are fighting back hard against the great wind power fraud, wherever the wind industry seeks to ply its subsidy-soaked trade. Wherever wind farms have appeared – or have been threatened – big numbers of locals take a set against the monsters being speared into their previously peaceful – and often idyllic – rural … Continue reading Passion & Power: Clever Communities Hate Industrial Wind Power And They Fight Back

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy
The fact that the offshore wind industry is screaming for more subsidies undermines their wilder claims about offshore wind power being ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. The true cost of wind power is staggering – the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of … Continue reading Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy
Policy No Brainer: New Finnish Government Backs Grand Nuclear Power Expansion
Safe, ever-reliable and always affordable nuclear power is a no-brainer. Especially for those worked up about carbon dioxide gas, nuclear being the only stand-alone generation source that does not generate CO2 in the process. Finland gets it, and has done for decades. Nuclear power is the largest source of energy in Finland, with a current … Continue reading Policy No Brainer: New Finnish Government Backs Grand Nuclear Power Expansion
If Your Community’s Fighting the Wind Industry – Keep Fighting, No Matter What
No matter where the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade, rural folk soon turn hostile. Smart communities start fighting early and never give up. In the US, the wind industry is on the back foot, with well-organised and furious rural residents – fed up with being driven nuts in their homes, or being driven out … Continue reading If Your Community’s Fighting the Wind Industry – Keep Fighting, No Matter What
US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
The US government has granted America’s offshore wind industry a sweeping licence to destroy thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and more - while permanently trashing critical marine environments in the process. The damage done starts with seismic surveys carried out pre-construction and continues as hundreds of 240m high turbines are punched into the seabed … Continue reading US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
On any reckoning, wind power is an abject failure. Dilute and diffuse, chaotically intermittent, insanely costly (when backup costs are included) and a wholesale environmental disaster, wiping out millions of birds, bats and beneficial bugs, and wrecking the livability the rural communities, nothing stacks up apart from the massive and endless subsidies upon which the … Continue reading Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity
Just as Europe reverses course on its wind and solar-powered energy calamity, in Australia, the lunatics in charge of the asylum are determined to double down and destroy what remains of this country’s once reliable and affordable power supplies. With policies directed at wiping reliable coal-fired power plants off the map and rewarding the unreliables … Continue reading Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity
Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts
Germany’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster is on display for all to see. It’s a calamity that the MSM refuses to acknowledge. An inconvenient truth, no doubt. Sure, the Russians pulled the plug on gas supplies to Germany, but mother nature does the same with sunshine and breezes, every day. Sunset, cloud cover and calm weather, … Continue reading Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts
Serious Energy: Britain Backs Ever-Reliable Nuclear Over Never-Reliable Wind Power
Politicians routinely crabwalk away from policy disasters. So it is in Britain where ever-reliable nuclear power has just been declared ‘green’ and essential to Britain’s energy future. Oversold and overhyped, in Europe, wind power now barely rates a mention amongst anyone serious about serious energy policy. Like that awkward, always-drunk uncle that everyone wants to … Continue reading Serious Energy: Britain Backs Ever-Reliable Nuclear Over Never-Reliable Wind Power
Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
South Australians, Californians and Texans know what comes from an overreliance on the unreliables, having suffered numerous weather-related load shedding and mass blackouts. Increasing dependence on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the price we’ve paid for allowing ideology to ride roughshod over sound engineering and solid economics. Once the engineers were relegated to the … Continue reading Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
