Notwithstanding the hundreds of $billions in subsidies thrown at wind and solar power, their combined contribution to world energy demand remains risible. Present the hard numbers and talk about the unstoppable ‘rise of renewables’ (if limited to wind and solar power) sounds more deluded, by the day. Pumped up lines about our 'inevitable transition' to … Continue reading Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)

Duped: Canada’s ‘Green’ Jobs Bonanza Turns Cruel Hoax
Hoodwinking its way around the globe, the wind industry always pitched the promise of building factories to locally manufacture blades or towers. Over time, it's turned out that such promises were just bait for the politicians they needed to sign over their constituents’ hard-won property rights, and to deliver the massive and endless subsidies … Continue reading Duped: Canada’s ‘Green’ Jobs Bonanza Turns Cruel Hoax
NSW Planning Dept Scotches Jupiter Wind Farm Project: Locals Ecstatic
Utterly pointless and universally detested in the communities where they get speared, wind turbines have one real purpose: harvesting subsidies. Communities that get organised early and fight hard from the get go have a chance of avoiding becoming ‘road-kill’ for renewables rent seekers. However, start bargaining with wind power outfits about setbacks from homes, … Continue reading NSW Planning Dept Scotches Jupiter Wind Farm Project: Locals Ecstatic
Long Way to Run: Fossil Fuel Powers the World Now & For Generations to Come
The zealots that pump up the future for wind and solar power are programed to ignore the present and bound to ignore the past. For a few centuries in human history, windmills were the only game in town. Then, in the 18th Century, the captains of British scientific and engineering endeavour harnessed thermal power, … Continue reading Long Way to Run: Fossil Fuel Powers the World Now & For Generations to Come
Backlash Against Big Wind: Victorian Communities Vent Fury at AGL
Nothing generates personal hatred and deep-seated division, quite like the threat of wind turbines being speared into peaceful and prosperous rural communities. While the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers still attempt the line that rural communities are falling over themselves to get in on some wind farm action, their spin and the reality are … Continue reading Backlash Against Big Wind: Victorian Communities Vent Fury at AGL
Renewables Hoax: Australia’s Biggest Retailer, AGL ‘Gets Out of Coal’ By Spending $200m Fixing Coal-Fired Power Plant
Renewables rent-seekers never talk about output, they only ever talk about capacity. Lines like the Windy Hill wind farm will power 30,000 homes, never come with the obvious caveat ‘sometimes’, and the rider that we can never say precisely ‘when’ that might be. Promoters of wind and solar, fixated on the hundreds of $billions thrown at … Continue reading Renewables Hoax: Australia’s Biggest Retailer, AGL ‘Gets Out of Coal’ By Spending $200m Fixing Coal-Fired Power Plant
‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply
Wrecking a power market and a power grid is a piece of cake: just add massively subsidised, unreliable and intermittent wind and solar. Ontario, Denmark and Germany provide pertinent examples. But there’s none better than Australia, particularly because it’s blessed with abundant coal, gas and uranium reserves, the envy of the World. Hijacked by renewables … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Fail: How Ideology Destroyed Australia’s Once Cheap & Reliable Power Supply
Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Wind farm neighbours are forced to endure all manner of wholly unnecessary suffering. Incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound drives them nuts at nighttime or, in plenty of cases, out of their homes, altogether. In Ontario, around the shores of the Great Lakes, the latest outrage involves wind power outfits destroying local underground … Continue reading Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Neighbourhood Nuisance: UK Wind Farm Operator Fined £51,000 For Noisy Turbine
Driving neighbours nuts with incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound is what the wind industry does best. Wind power outfits literally create headaches wherever they ply their subsidy-soaked trade. But, increasingly, people and communities with the temerity to stand up for their rights are doing just that. And winning. Fined £51,000 ... for … Continue reading Neighbourhood Nuisance: UK Wind Farm Operator Fined £51,000 For Noisy Turbine
Move Over Cuba: Australia’s Renewables Debacle Leads to Mandated Power Rationing
One mark of a developed economy, is its ability to deliver affordable power, without fail. Resource rich Australia once enjoyed the cheapest power prices in the world, blackouts were almost exclusively the result of catastrophic storms, and there was no such thing as mass load shedding. Now, Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle has left it … Continue reading Move Over Cuba: Australia’s Renewables Debacle Leads to Mandated Power Rationing
