The heroic attempt to increasingly rely on unreliable wind power ultimately reveals itself as suicidal. Driving reliable conventional generators off the grid and hoping that they will be replaced (in substance) by chaotically intermittent wind power comes with a grab bag of consequences. Rocketing power prices follow as night follows day; the result of incorporating … Continue reading Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts

Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts
Wind turbines were meant to improve the weather, now it seems these things are making it worse. Bear in mind the weather worriers are fretting about changes of a degree or two (apparently an increase of just 1.5°C means instant disaster and pumping it up by 2°C means an irreversible catastrophe). There is already plenty … Continue reading Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts
Safety Claims Incinerated: Locals Smothered With Toxic Smoke From Burning Wind Turbines
When 300-tonne wind turbines spontaneously explode into giant toxic fireballs, locals have more contend with than the risk of bushfires (or ‘wildfires’ as Americans call them). Packed with flammable and toxic oils, plastics, fibreglass and low-ignition point metals, like aluminium, when one of these things spontaneously bursts into flames, everybody for miles around knows all … Continue reading Safety Claims Incinerated: Locals Smothered With Toxic Smoke From Burning Wind Turbines
Grand Energy Deception: Unpacking The Worldwide $5 Trillion Renewable Energy Scam
The heralded wind and solar ‘transition’ has already revealed itself as among the greatest deceptions ever pulled. Harry Houdini would have been impressed with the wind and sun cult’s ability to turn night into day and twist logic and reason beyond even the most delusional imagination. As Nick Giambruno details in this punchy little essay, … Continue reading Grand Energy Deception: Unpacking The Worldwide $5 Trillion Renewable Energy Scam
Maritime Mauling: Cargo Ship Lucky to Survive Collision With Offshore Wind Turbine
If wild weather and heavy seas weren’t enough to contend with, oceangoing vessels now have thousands of 300 tonne wind turbine towers to dodge and avoid. Recently a German cargo ship the Petra L, came off second-best when it failed to do so. After colliding with one of these giant whirling wonders, the vessel was … Continue reading Maritime Mauling: Cargo Ship Lucky to Survive Collision With Offshore Wind Turbine
Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Long bursts of calm weather are no mystery to sailors and kite flyers, but the wind industry apparently never got the memo. Hence the type of indignation expressed when the wind fails to materialize - in its financial statements, Australian outfit, Infigen has repeatedly cursed the Wind Gods for its often-dismal profit results. The industry … Continue reading Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Blackout Prevention Intervention: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texas Spends $Billions On Gas-Powered Plants
Texas has squandered a cool $66 billion on building its wind and solar capacity and the infrastructure needed to support it. The subsidies that have driven the the wind and solar onslaught - principally the Production Tax Credit, as well as state-mandated feed-in tariffs), deliberately designed to relegate the reliable generators (nuclear, coal and gas) to … Continue reading Blackout Prevention Intervention: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texas Spends $Billions On Gas-Powered Plants
Grand Delusion: Why Battery Storage Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Intermittency Problem
Claims that mega-batteries will fix wind and solar’s natural intermittency problem turn out to be mega-myths. First, lithium-ion batteries of the kind pitched by Tesla (see above) - like every kind of battery - do not generate a single watt of power and are net consumers of electricity during their charge/discharge phase. Second, they are … Continue reading Grand Delusion: Why Battery Storage Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Intermittency Problem
No Answer: Climate Change ‘Threat’ Can’t Be Cured By Intermittent Wind Power
It’s apparently gospel now, that man-made carbon dioxide gas is toxic “pollution” that - unless humans stop generating it ASAP - an inevitable Armageddon follows. The naturally occurring kind doesn’t register, however. In the next earnest breath, we are told that the only answer available to prevent our planet’s pending demise is to carpet its … Continue reading No Answer: Climate Change ‘Threat’ Can’t Be Cured By Intermittent Wind Power
Don’t Believe The Hype: Wind Power Remains Fastest Way to Waste Taxpayers’ Money
Hyperbole is the wind and solar industry’s preferred dialect. Long on promises and short on delivery, those that pretend we’ll all soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes have no interest in dealing with troublesome facts, such as sunset and/or calm weather. Grand, sweeping visions might work to a point, but, eventually, reality … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Wind Power Remains Fastest Way to Waste Taxpayers’ Money
