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

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

No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises

Any increase in dependence on intermittent wind and solar guarantees ever-increasing power prices. In Australia, that trend was set in 2010, following a massive expansion in the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, brought in under then Labor PM, Kevin Rudd. The cost to consumers was always going to be colossal; what the energy boffins didn’t … Continue reading No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises

Green Hypocrites: Ancient Rainforests Being Stripped To Make Way For Hundreds of Wind Turbines

https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk The wind industry is the Grand Master of green hypocrisy; leaving a wake of environmental destruction, wherever it plies its subsidy-soaked trade. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they … Continue reading Green Hypocrites: Ancient Rainforests Being Stripped To Make Way For Hundreds of Wind Turbines

Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis

Calm weather and sunset will do it every time, smashing wind and solar output and claims that we’re already headed for an all wind and sun powered future. Believe the narrative run by the MSM on behalf of the wind and solar rent seekers and their political enablers, you’d think we’ve already reached our ‘green’ … Continue reading Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis

Clown Factor: Trying to Explain Our Idiotic and Self-Destructive Wind & Solar Obsession

Remember the class clown? The idiot who couldn’t help himself, always in trouble and too witless to know why. Well, he’s now firmly in charge of energy policy, which in its design and implementation resembles the chaos of a mismanaged three-ringed circus. As the adage goes, don’t put down to conspiracy what can be chalked … Continue reading Clown Factor: Trying to Explain Our Idiotic and Self-Destructive Wind & Solar Obsession

Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

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

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

Not So Cheap: You’re Paying Colossal Cost Of Climate Cult’s Wind & Solar Obsession

Their self-inflated 'virtue' has a price, and you’re paying it, every red cent of it. That last jaw-dropping power bill has their fingerprints all over it. So do the occasions when thousands are left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark; when cash-strapped businesses are forced to sack staff to cut their overheads so they … Continue reading Not So Cheap: You’re Paying Colossal Cost Of Climate Cult’s Wind & Solar Obsession
