Giant industrial wind turbines with the tips of their 50-80m blades clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, and air-traffic guidance, both essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military … Continue reading Radar Off-line: How Offshore Wind Turbines Have Wrecked America’s Defence Capability

Crash Course: Industrial Wind Turbines Pose Deadly Threat to Light Aircraft
Industrial wind turbines create at least 2 critical dangers for flyers: 1) wake turbulence; 2) collision with blades and towers. The air turbulence generated by hundreds of 50-60m blades with their outer tips travelling at around 350km/h (wake turbulence) messes with the pilot's ability to control their aircraft (see our post here). Slamming into them, often … Continue reading Crash Course: Industrial Wind Turbines Pose Deadly Threat to Light Aircraft
Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Giant industrial wind turbines with their 60m blade’s tips clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military has obtained legislation to prevent … Continue reading Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power
Raising a raft of unnecessary danger, the wind industry’s body count currently stands at 192. Flying blades, collapsing and/or self-immolating towers account for their fair share of corpses. But those that take to the air, shouldn’t overlook the number of pilots and their passengers who’ve come to grief, thanks to a wind turbine or their … Continue reading Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power
Pilots Flying United: Court Rejects Wind Power Project as Just ‘Plane’ Stupid
All power generation comes with risk, which get traded off against the enormous societal benefits, when it's reliable and affordable. Where the power source is wholly weather dependent – and the industry that profits from it wholly dependent upon massive and endless subsidies and, therefore, wholly unsustainable – there is nothing to trade off … Continue reading Pilots Flying United: Court Rejects Wind Power Project as Just ‘Plane’ Stupid
Wind Industry’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Trade on Endless Lies, Bullying & Deceit
In order to worm their way into rural communities, wind industry goons employ a mix of varnished lies, deceit and old-school thuggery. Over the last decade, wind power outfits have been able to beguile the gullible and hoodwink the unsuspecting. They usually start with a colossal lie and work up from there. However, as soon … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Trade on Endless Lies, Bullying & Deceit
Western Victoria’s Firestorm: Dodging Wind Turbines Biggest Battle for Airborne Firefighters
Not only do wind turbines act as the perfect bushfire-starters, their presence precludes the best and safest method of fire-fighting from controlling them: aerial water bombers won’t fly within cooee of these things – experienced pilots have declared that they won’t fly within 3km of a wind turbine, even without the country around them on … Continue reading Western Victoria’s Firestorm: Dodging Wind Turbines Biggest Battle for Airborne Firefighters
Fighting for Air: Communities Rally to Stop Wind Projects Wrecking Local Airports
All power generation comes with risk. However, those risks are traded off against the immeasurable societal benefits provided by reliable and affordable electricity. Where the power source is wholly weather dependent – and the industry that profits from it wholly dependent upon massive and endless subsidies and, therefore, wholly unsustainable – there is nothing to … Continue reading Fighting for Air: Communities Rally to Stop Wind Projects Wrecking Local Airports
