It's getting harder to ignore the thousands of wind turbine blades and millions of solar panels piling up in landfills, leaving an already mountainous and growing toxic waste legacy for future generations to deal with. In 2023, anyone still touting the putative benefits of wind and solar is either suffering from a form of blissful … Continue reading Ugly Truth: Wind & Solar Delivering Environmental Destruction On Grand Global Scale

USA Leads Charge On Small Modular Reactors With NuScale Design Ready For Construction
As the energy source of the future, safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power hardly needs an introduction. Power-starved Germans have re-embraced it; the French have been powered by it for nearly 60 years. Altogether, there are 30 countries where you’ll find nearly 450 nuclear reactors currently operating – as well as the Germans and French … Continue reading USA Leads Charge On Small Modular Reactors With NuScale Design Ready For Construction
Wind Turbine Makers Demand Taxpayer Bailout For Mounting Billion-Dollar Losses
Wind turbine makers are bleeding cash, and several are terminal. Siemens Gamesa has been axing hundreds of jobs in Europe and America. Vestas, Nordex and Enercon are also on the ropes. The cause of all this corporate misery is down to a collapse in wind factory investment, which is down to a collapse in wind … Continue reading Wind Turbine Makers Demand Taxpayer Bailout For Mounting Billion-Dollar Losses
Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Saves Germany From Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Disaster
Vlad Putin can’t be blamed for blanketing Germany’s millions of solar panels in snow and ice, or freezing solid their 30,000 wind turbines. Nor can Vlad be convicted for this (and every previous) winter’s long periods of gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’, as Germans call it. No, Germany’s current energy catastrophe is the perfectly predictable … Continue reading Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Saves Germany From Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Disaster
Smashed: Claims Solar Power Part of ‘Clean’ & ‘Green’ Future Simply Don’t Stack Up
Millions of solar panels are already spent and are resting in landfill near you (that’s if they haven’t been quietly shipped and dumped somewhere in Africa). Millions more will join them over the next few years, as their efficiency wanes and/or they’re damaged by hail or otherwise give up the ghost. One fun fact that … Continue reading Smashed: Claims Solar Power Part of ‘Clean’ & ‘Green’ Future Simply Don’t Stack Up
Nut-Zero: Wind & Solar Cult Promise Shared Stone-Age Misery For All (Bar Them)
The wind and sun cult reckon that with a few tweaks and twists we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. It is, of course, a collective delusion, bound up in a woolly-headed brand of undergraduate Marxism - the kind enamoured of starry-eyed arts and sociology students, around the globe. On their world … Continue reading Nut-Zero: Wind & Solar Cult Promise Shared Stone-Age Misery For All (Bar Them)
Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses
The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has insurers ready to tighten the terms of the policies offered to cover them. As with any bookie, the odds of winning (or losing) are always reflected in the price the punter pays. Insurance, is no different. International insurance broking took off … Continue reading Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses
Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
As the wind industry would have it, these things are safer than houses and wouldn’t hurt a fly. The reality is, oh so much, different. Flinging 10-20 tonne/45-60m blades in all directions is just the beginning. Showering their locality with nacelle door hatches and other random bits and pieces, and drenching their surrounds with a … Continue reading Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
Anyone familiar with the weather and sunset, could have told you it would never work; the grand renewable energy transition, that is. The wind and sun cult have been claiming outright victory for years, although the scoreboard doesn’t seem to reflect their exuberant claims. The future for coal-fired power has never looked brighter; China and … Continue reading Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
India’s March to Lasting Prosperity Drives Insatiable Demand For Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Demonising coal-fired power is a sport played by smug, well-fed Westerners - who’ve never lived a day without power, in their cosseted lives. For the poorest energy-starved billions, a day with affordable power is a dream worth fighting for. The West’s prosperity was won with coal, a fact seemingly recognised by wind and solar-obsessed Brits … Continue reading India’s March to Lasting Prosperity Drives Insatiable Demand For Reliable Coal-Fired Power
