Power Punters to Pay Double for Wind Power “FAILS” – REAL Power Generators Paid to Cover Wind Power Fraud
**** The hackneyed myth that wind power “powers” millions of homes with wonderful “free” wind energy is taking a beating around the globe (see our posts here and here).

Australian Senator – Matt Canavan – Slams “Greens” Hypocrisy & Skewers the Great Wind Power Fraud

Matt’s reasoned musings have graced the pages of STT a couple of times: Senator Matt Canavan: mandatory RET is an Enormous Wind Industry Protection Racket Senator Matt Canavan: Australia’s … Continue reading Australian Senator – Matt Canavan – Slams “Greens” Hypocrisy & Skewers the Great Wind Power Fraud

Community Wind Farm Investors Losing their Shirts
**** As the wind industry Ponzi scheme unravels around the globe, it's so-called "community wind farms" that are taking a pounding. In the US, a bunch of farmers got fleeced for $millions as a wind power outfit running two small wind farms went belly up on the prairie (see our post here).
