So-called ‘green’ jobs are a case of easy come, easy go. The wind and solar ‘industries’ that gave birth to those jobs simply can’t survive without massive and endless subsidies, which means their days are numbered. With the axe being taken to subsidies across the globe, their ultimate demise is a matter of when, not … Continue reading Green Jobs Mirage: Europe’s Biggest Wind Turbine Maker Sacks Hundreds of Workers as Subsidies Slashed

Court Out: Noise Affected Neighbours Pursue Class Action Against Lying Wind Developers
Wind developers face liability in the millions for the nuisance caused by unrelenting, turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Litigation is where the rubber hits the road: myths get replaced with facts; evidence overtakes spin and propaganda. Court rooms (and where they determine the facts, juries) strike fear into the (ordinarily icy) hearts of those … Continue reading Court Out: Noise Affected Neighbours Pursue Class Action Against Lying Wind Developers
Scallopers Scuttled: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Scotland’s Fishing Industry
Britain’s trawlermen are tough, but not invincible. Giant industrial wind turbines and their associated infrastructure have wrecked once productive fishing grounds, including the scallop beds of the Moray Firth. Dodging turbines in rough seas is bad enough: Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen But having nets and fishing gear … Continue reading Scallopers Scuttled: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Scotland’s Fishing Industry
Bound to Gag: Sierra Club Buries Evidence of Health Effects Caused by Wind Turbine Noise
The wind cult is a broad church, attracting all manner of unhinged zealots, including acolytes of so-called ‘green’ groups like the Sierra Club. Pretending to care about the environment, while pocketing millions in ‘donations’ from renewable energy rent seekers, hypocrisy is their stock in trade. Peddling the mantra that the only manner of preventing imminent … Continue reading Bound to Gag: Sierra Club Buries Evidence of Health Effects Caused by Wind Turbine Noise
Colossal Collapse: Wind & Solar Investment Plummets as Subsidies Subside
In the absence of endless subsidies, the wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat, which is precisely how things are panning out for renewable rent seekers in Australia. The idea that there is a natural market for electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed, is pure nonsense: hence the massive … Continue reading Colossal Collapse: Wind & Solar Investment Plummets as Subsidies Subside
Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Lamenting their rocketing power bills and dreading mass blackouts this coming summer, Australians can be forgiven for their sense of despair. Australians once enjoyed the world’s cheapest power, reliably delivered, just like running water. No one talked about their power bills at backyard barbecues, or kept promising themselves that must have diesel generator to keep … Continue reading Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Daily Debacle: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantee More Summertime Blackouts
An obsession with intermittent wind and solar is the prime cause of Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity. A ludicrous Federal Renewable Energy Target laid the foundation; Green/left Labor State Governments in South Australia and Victoria doubled down, and did the rest. Wind and solar obsessed South Australians suffer the world’s highest power prices and … Continue reading Daily Debacle: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantee More Summertime Blackouts
Worse Than Useless: Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power Never There When It’s Needed Most
Subsidies aside, wind power has no natural commercial value simply because it cannot be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And the mythical notion of storing electricity at grid-scale doesn’t alter that equation, it simply makes wind power even more ridiculously expensive, than it already is. With wind and solar obsessed South Australia … Continue reading Worse Than Useless: Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power Never There When It’s Needed Most
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
Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and its pet acoustic consultants managed to set up ‘rules’ which have no relevance to the noise impacts experienced by wind farm neighbours and under which wind power outfits could ride roughshod over rural communities with complete impunity. That post … Continue reading Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
