Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects
The laws of economics don’t discriminate: where the costs of any venture outweigh its benefits, investors stay at home. Originally lured with the meme about wind power being free, and getting cheaper all the time, plenty of hopefuls poured cash into wind power outfits like NextEra, Avangrid and turbine manufacturers like Siemens. Lately, however, the … Continue reading Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects
Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
The wind and solar industry’s sales pitch has been exemplary, but their product delivery and after-sales service is pure rubbish.

No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers
So much for all the cheap talk about wind power being cheap. Offshore wind power is so expensive it can’t attract a buyer. In the UK, the last round of the government’s annual auction - which awards 15-year contracts to wind and solar generators, taking their occasional produce at a set price - did not … Continue reading No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers
Wind Turbine Wipeout: Rare & Endangered Eagles’ Days Are Numbered
The wind industry is battling on all fronts, including mounting community outrage, driven not least by its wanton slaughter of eagles, whales and other magnificent creatures. The outer tips of 60m wind turbine blades travelling at over 350kph make short work of avian predators, such as hawks, kites, falcons and eagles, including the rare and … Continue reading Wind Turbine Wipeout: Rare & Endangered Eagles’ Days Are Numbered
Conspiracy of Silence: MSM Runs Protection Racket for Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers
The glaring fault with the mainstream media is not so much what they publish, it’s what they refuse to publish. The truth runs a distant third to woke memes and fashionable mantras. How we found ourselves in a world where power prices are simply unaffordable, and power can only be delivered according the vagaries of … Continue reading Conspiracy of Silence: MSM Runs Protection Racket for Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Keep Adding Wind & Solar
Without exception, every country that’s plugged into the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering from crippling power prices and unreliable delivery. The relationship is so stark as to be blindingly obvious; and one that was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. Paying wind and solar operators seemingly endless and practically countless $billions … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Keep Adding Wind & Solar
Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
Want to make a small fortune in the offshore wind industry? Then start with a large one. In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the numbers are far worse out at sea. Take a machine … Continue reading Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
