Countries serious about their economic prosperity are getting serious about serious power generation. Ontario, China and Japan have slashed subsidies and mandated targets for wind and solar; between them China and Japan are building hundreds of high-efficiency, low emissions coal-fired plant at home and even more across South-East Asia. Germany’s transition to an all wind … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: More Countries Get Serious About Serious Power Generation

When humans set out to torture each other, sleep deprivation is usually top of the list. The wind industry has been doing just that, with impunity, for the best part of … Continue reading Wind Industry Panics as Class Actions Loom: WHO Finds Wind Turbine Noise Harmful to Health
Deutschland’s Delusion: Renewable Energy ‘Transition’ in Tatters – CO2 Targets Missed as Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Germany has a history of clinging to lost causes: its ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar is just the latest example. As Berlin was overrun by the Red Army in April 1945, Hitler and his loyal aides and commanders kidded themselves that the Reich might soon ride again. The Fuhrer and his newly wedded … Continue reading Deutschland’s Delusion: Renewable Energy ‘Transition’ in Tatters – CO2 Targets Missed as Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: American Wind Industry Caught Faking Community ‘Support’ for Wind Power
The wind industry was founded on myth, is built on lies and runs on a mix of subsidies and propaganda. And, it should never be forgotten that, the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, was only made possible by our political betters.

Wicked Waste: Rocketing Prices & Blackouts Only ‘Dividend’ From $60bn in Subsidies to Wind & Solar
Setting fire to cash is one way of destroying value, throwing $billions in subsidies at intermittent wind and solar is just as effective.

Blame Games: Public Being Played for Fools About Surging Power Prices by Wind & Solar Lobby
‘Support’ for subsidised wind and solar exists because Joe Public has absolutely no idea how power is generated or what it actually costs.

Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
South Australia is renowned for the world’s highest power prices and mass blackouts, thanks to its risible ‘reliance’ on sunshine and breezes. In Australia’s RE capital, sunset and massive, sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind power output not only result in mass load shedding (controlled blackouts), but send spot prices for power into the … Continue reading Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Puts Power Out of Reach for America’s Working Poor
There will always be poverty, but rocketing power prices caused by subsidised wind and solar mean real punishment for the working poor. Yes, the poor will always be with us. And governments are meant to protect not punish them. However, that’s precisely the result of policies that favour meaningless power sources at the expense of … Continue reading Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Puts Power Out of Reach for America’s Working Poor
Renewables Reckoning: German Business Being Throttled by Rocketing Power Prices
There’s something uncanny about the relationship between rocketing power prices and renewable energy: ask a German, Dane or South Australian.
