Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. … Continue reading Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition

Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching
Wind power outfits once ran a line about wind farms providing new and exciting tourist opportunities. Inquisitive folk would pack the kids into the Prius and head into the country, so they could get up close and personal to a few of these whirling wonders, drawn in by their purportedly majestic awe and left feeling … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching
Believe It or Not: Greta Thunberg Arrested While Protesting AGAINST Wind Turbines
That Greta Thunberg has decided to help Stop These Things is noteworthy, in itself. And getting arrested (twice) for her trouble is all in a day’s work for a modern-day Joan of Arc, like Greta. Now, don’t get us wrong, the antsy young Swede has plenty of enviro-babble baggage, but we can’t complain about her … Continue reading Believe It or Not: Greta Thunberg Arrested While Protesting AGAINST Wind Turbines
Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy
If the delusion that we’re destined to run on nothing but wind and solar were a disease, it would have been declared a pandemic, long ago. The symptoms are readily observed - a trenchant and unshakeable belief that wind and solar can completely replace, coal, gas and nuclear power - they’re contagious and almost impossible … Continue reading Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy
All Downhill: Australia’s Largest Pumped Hydro Scheme Grinds to Insanely Costly Halt
Loose talk about ‘green’ hydrogen, mega-batteries and pumped hydro is the default response from rent seekers forced to face up to wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency. None of the aforementioned generate a single watt of electricity; all of them chew up mountains of energy and resources in their creation; and all of them consume electricity … Continue reading All Downhill: Australia’s Largest Pumped Hydro Scheme Grinds to Insanely Costly Halt
Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid
Rocketing power prices and routine blackouts are the inevitable consequence of the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar ‘transition’ - California is no exception. Indeed, thanks to their deranged leaders’ obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Californians will be lucky to have power, at all. Putting aside the question of whether all but the elite will … Continue reading Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid
Bigger They Come, Harder They Fall: Giant Wind Turbines Keep Dropping Like Wounded Flies
These things have a terrifying habit of succumbing to gravity, their 300-tonne superstructures dropping like giant, wounded flies, splattering their inner workings far and wide; and, no doubt, providing locals with an exhilarating seismic experience. We reported on the phenomenon only a few weeks back, noting that there has been a significant increase in the … Continue reading Bigger They Come, Harder They Fall: Giant Wind Turbines Keep Dropping Like Wounded Flies
‘Green’ Devolution: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Dark & Dismal Future
These days it takes some time and effort to explain to millennials what it was to have power on tap, whatever the weather, at prices everyone could afford. However, if the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ continues unchecked, a generation from now, talk about having electricity as and when we need it - and being … Continue reading ‘Green’ Devolution: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Dark & Dismal Future
Fishermen Fight Back: Giant Offshore Wind Turbines Threatening Lobsters, Whales & More
It pays not to get between a fisherman and their livelihood, as the offshore wind industry is learning fast. Along America’s Atlantic coast, fishermen of all shapes and sizes have turned on the offshore wind industry with an industrial scale fury. Right alongside them are those with a passionate concern for whales, porpoises and dolphins. … Continue reading Fishermen Fight Back: Giant Offshore Wind Turbines Threatening Lobsters, Whales & More
Golden Pass: Wind Industry Licenced To Kill America’s Rare & Endangered Eagles
The wind industry has been killing thousands of rare and endangered eagles for the best part of 20 years. In the USA, it’s literally licenced to do so - with euphemistically tagged ‘take permits’. Those permits cover the senseless destruction of Bald and Golden Eagles. Bear in mind that, because wind power can’t be delivered … Continue reading Golden Pass: Wind Industry Licenced To Kill America’s Rare & Endangered Eagles
