Hometown Hellraisers: Self-Incinerating Wind Turbines Prove Perfect Wildfire-Starters

An out-of-control wildfire is a terrifying experience. Self-incinerating wind turbines have joined arsonists and lightning strikes as the cause of that terror. Whereas lightning is an unavoidable natural occurrence and arsonists live in fear of being caught and punished, the wind power outfits that spear giant industrial wind turbines into rural tinderboxes have no qualms … Continue reading Hometown Hellraisers: Self-Incinerating Wind Turbines Prove Perfect Wildfire-Starters

Dog Ate My Data: Ontario’s Government Buries Wind Farm Neighbours Noise Complaints

The wind industry started carpeting Ontario with wind turbines a decade ago. Ever since, neighbours have been complaining about the incessant and grinding cacophony of low-frequency noise and infrasound these things generate. The only thing more consistent and persistent than the neighbours’ noise complaints, is the Ontario government’s practised contempt for the wind industry’s noise … Continue reading Dog Ate My Data: Ontario’s Government Buries Wind Farm Neighbours Noise Complaints

Green Jobs Mirage: Europe’s Biggest Wind Turbine Maker Sacks Hundreds of Workers as Subsidies Slashed

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
