In the mother of all ironies, Europe’s wind and sun cult are complaining about uncooperative weather. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather. Which, in reality, means little or nothing by way of output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of … Continue reading Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Blaze of Glory: Life-Threatening Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than People Think
Wind turbine fires are ten times more common than the wind industry and its parasites claim (see our post here and check out this website: http://turbinesonfire.org). Americans have had more than their fair share of fiery 'green' energy excitement - see our posts here, here and here. The wind industry has been forced to concede that at least … Continue reading Blaze of Glory: Life-Threatening Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than People Think

Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
When the wind industry fiasco inevitably grinds to a halt sometime in the next decade, those that entertained it – be it gullible farmers who traded 30 pieces of silver to destroy their communities or the local governments that rubber-stamped the planning applications that permitted it – are going to be left with a monumental cleanup … Continue reading Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
While discovering electricity was part insight, superstition and serendipity, harnessing it for good came down to the laws of physics and sound engineering. Exciting as it might be, feeling your hair stand up during an electrical storm was never going to alter the course of human affairs. Whereas the ability to generate and then deliver … Continue reading Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
Kill Zone: German Study Proves Wind Turbines Slaughter Millions of Bats Every Year
Wind power outfits can't guarantee power when you need it, but their turbines rarely miss an opportunity to slaughter birds or bats silly enough to enter their bloody kill zone. The wind power cult has no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste … Continue reading Kill Zone: German Study Proves Wind Turbines Slaughter Millions of Bats Every Year
Reliable & Affordable Energy Is Life Itself: Why Wind & Solar Are Making Us All Worse Off
Deprive a well-fed Westerner of energy for more than a few hours and you’ll get their attention. The reliable and affordable power supplies that we’ve taken for granted were built up over a century. A raft of suicidal energy policies introduced in the last 20 years will have them destroyed before this decade is out. … Continue reading Reliable & Affordable Energy Is Life Itself: Why Wind & Solar Are Making Us All Worse Off
‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics
Sure, the millions of wind turbine blades headed for landfill will leave a toxic legacy for centuries to come, but these things create an even more immediate threat. Their 40-90m blades naturally erode during operation, spreading tonnes of microplastics far and wide. The epoxy compounds they shed contain toxins that are finding their way into … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics
Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Spreading millions of solar panels and spearing thousands of wind turbines far and wide doesn’t make sense, at any level. Intermittent and diffuse energy sources do not represent progress in the state of human affairs; that was the way of the world pre-Industrial Revolution - science, enterprise and engineering made all that a part of … Continue reading Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
