Wind and solar rent seekers have all the style and menacing panache of the 17th-century highwaymen. It takes real audacity to look your victims in the eye and demand even more subsidies on top of the obscene pile rent seekers have already drawn from taxpayers and power consumers. But these boys are dripping in audacity. … Continue reading Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen

Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry
As the offshore wind industry implodes in the US, UK and Northern Europe it’s worth noting the class of villains responsible. Pitching the most insanely expensive method of occasionally generating electricity on a random and entirely chaotic basis took audacity; taking investors for a ride with them took a special kind of malice; and pretending … Continue reading Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry
Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
For more than a decade, acolytes and crony capitalists have run the story that offshore wind power is free, and getting cheaper all the time. However, the reality doesn’t match the rhetoric. In the UK, offshore outfits refused to bid at the figures offered by government in the auction by which future (guaranteed) contract prices … Continue reading Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
The smart money is banking on the wind and solar industries’ total collapse; the smartest money was never invested in the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. With subsidised wind and solar looking more like a house of cards, dozens of grand standing projects are being unceremoniously dumped. The potential investors targeted by their proponents … Continue reading Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout
Holding hands and waving placards just doesn’t cut it. If you want to protect the environment or your community from the industrial wind power onslaught, then litigate. In this post, we contrast a community off the coast of New South Wales, Australia where a rally of surfers gathered to stave off the threat of an … Continue reading Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout
America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped
In the US the offshore wind industry is completely underwater, in every sense. The insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments has finally caught up. Projects are being scrapped in the same way that punters rip up their betting slips when their long-shot nag fails to … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped
Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
That ‘industries’ built on lies, myths and subsidies are in freefall is hardly surprising. Nothing about intermittent wind and solar have never made any sense. Now the markets are starting to cotton on. Governments are refusing to bail out wind power outfits - rejecting their ever-increasing demands for ever-increasing subsidies. The knock-on effect on the … Continue reading Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
There’s no real argument in favour of offshore wind power, and plenty of serious arguments against. Start with the absolutely staggering cost, which has major proponents demanding even greater subsidies from taxpayers and/or higher prices in the guaranteed power contracts they ink with governments. With governments increasingly refusing to play ball, proponents are simply dropping … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
Claiming that wind and solar are green is simply nuts. Delivering rubbish power and leaving mountains of toxic rubbish in their wake, solar panels and industrial wind turbines are the antithesis of ‘green’. Assuming that ‘green’ means friendly to environments, people and the communities that they live in? As Michael Shellenberger explains during this Chris … Continue reading Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
