The value of subsidies to wind power is falling, while the cost of erecting and operating these things has skyrocketed. The result is a complete collapse in wind power capacity investment in Britain, and elsewhere. The usual suspects are running a mile from projects that were (on paper) worth billions. While the wind industry pretends … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Industry In Freefall: Rising Costs See More Major Projects Scrapped

How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Germany has been overrun with 30,000 giant industrial wind turbines and millions of solar panels. Its climate cult reckons that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked so far is all about saving the planet. It’s an argument that holds all the logic of amputating an entire leg to prevent a septic toe from doing any further damage … Continue reading How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad
The wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment has collapsed across Europe, turbine manufacturers are losing $billions and dozens of offshore projects have been scrapped in the last 12 months. Call us a tad cynical, but if you offer a product that can’t be delivered on demand (which, accordingly, has no commercial value) and … Continue reading Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad
Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
Big claims and loose talk about the grand wind and solar energy ‘transition’ don’t make it so. And there is no shortage of either, with myth and mantra being the order of the day. Notwithstanding a staggering and rapid increase in the amount of money squandered on wind and solar, their relative contribution to world … Continue reading Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
Bubble Bursts: Rising Costs Mean More Massive Offshore Wind Projects Scrapped
The spiralling cost of erecting ever-larger turbines at sea is matched by the spiralling costs of the raw inputs needed for the turbines themselves, which means the offshore wind power bubble has truly burst. The Sweden’s Vattenfall has just scotched a massive project proposed off the coast of Norfolk, moaning about rocketing turbine manufacturing and … Continue reading Bubble Bursts: Rising Costs Mean More Massive Offshore Wind Projects Scrapped
Why Rural Communities Around the Globe Are Rioting Against Wind & Solar Invasion
While the wind and solar ‘industries’ are intent on wrecking rural communities, those communities are intent on fighting back - with all they’ve got. A decade ago, residents could often be heard saying that they were all in favour of renewable energy, but just not in their backyards - sounding like the classic NIMBY, thereby … Continue reading Why Rural Communities Around the Globe Are Rioting Against Wind & Solar Invasion
Consumers Carry Colossal Cost of Getting Wind & Solar From Nowhere to Somewhere
The grand wind and solar transition comes with a staggering pricetag, not least the $trillions required to connect far-flung wind turbines and solar panels to increasingly distant markets. Building a secondary network of high voltage transmission lines and interconnectors to carry the power occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels, spread far and wide, … Continue reading Consumers Carry Colossal Cost of Getting Wind & Solar From Nowhere to Somewhere
Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
The offshore wind industry is wiping out thousands of marine mammals and fish are its next victims. While plenty has been written about whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals being deafened by wind turbine construction activities (they don’t respond well to sonar and seismic blasting), less notice has been given to fish, crabs and other critters … Continue reading Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. 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 don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history - from unwitting power consumers and taxpayers to a cabal of rent-seeking crony capitalists. Greed and avarice drives them, aided and abetted by government mandates, diktats and decrees. Built on lies and running on subsidies, … Continue reading Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
