In a World first, Australia’s Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) has declared that the “noise annoyance” caused by wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound “is a plausible pathway to disease” based on the “established association between noise annoyance and some diseases, including hypertension and cardiovascular disease, possibly mediated in part by disturbed sleep and/or psychological … Continue reading Australian Court Finds Wind Turbine Noise Exposure a ‘Pathway to Disease’: Waubra Foundation Vindicated

Scots Win Court Battle to Stop Wind Farm Proposal Poisoning Water Supply
Destroying underground water supplies is just another “wonderful” feature of eco-friendly wind power. The largest of these things require a steel reinforced concrete base of around 400-500 m³. For 3MW turbines the bottom of the base itself – depending on the soil profile and rock strata – will sit between 5m and 10 m below … Continue reading Scots Win Court Battle to Stop Wind Farm Proposal Poisoning Water Supply
Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Their collective reliance on the wind and/or sun for power places South Australia, Denmark and Germany at the top of the retail power price league table. Like South Australia, Germany’s grid is on the very brink of collapse. Power consumers (read ‘voters’) are furious and those in power appear powerless to undo the damage. Here’s … Continue reading Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure
Want Statewide Power Blackouts? Then Plug In To Weather-Dependant Wind & Solar
For a bit over 20 years, we’ve been berated with warnings that the climate is changing so rapidly, that 'fixing' it is a matter of the most pressing urgency. Notwithstanding that, for nearly 20 years, global temperatures have stubbornly refused to budge, such that there are plenty of climate alarmists not game to bet … Continue reading Want Statewide Power Blackouts? Then Plug In To Weather-Dependant Wind & Solar
Stung: Minnesota Counts the Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind Power
As 2017 draws to a close, with examples like Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia in mind, it takes a special brand of delusion to still believe that a country can run on sunshine and breezes. The cost of subsidised wind power is staggering, the effects on the grid chaotic. The peaceful and prosperous places … Continue reading Stung: Minnesota Counts the Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind Power
South Australia’s Wind Power Obsession Sends Business Power Costs Out of this World
As SA’s vapid Premier, Jay Weatherill purrs about his $150 million Elon Musk mega-battery that will power his economic backwater for all of four minutes - when the wind stops blowing - or blows too hard - meanwhile, back on earth, South Australian businesses have watched their power costs almost triple in three years. Large-scale … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Obsession Sends Business Power Costs Out of this World
Australia’s Power Crisis Generated by a Conspiracy of Incompetents
To destroy the cheapest and most reliable power supplies in the world in less than 20 years takes effort, but it can be done. Take South Australia, Australia’s so-called wind power capital as the prime example. Despite its Premier’s recent (nonsensical) claims about SA power prices plummeting, they are still the highest retail power prices … Continue reading Australia’s Power Crisis Generated by a Conspiracy of Incompetents
Guilty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Drive Australia’s Rocketing Retail Power Prices
Among the dwindling band of deluded wind and sun worshippers, no two words are more prone to send them into apoplexy than ‘South Australia’. Held up as the example of how to run an economy on sunshine and breezes (sprinkled with a liberal dose of pixie dust and batteries that cost $150 million to power … Continue reading Guilty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Drive Australia’s Rocketing Retail Power Prices
Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsession Pushes Power Grid to Brink of Total Collapse
If you’re looking for examples on how to deliberately destroy an economy, look no further than renewables obsessed Germany and its equally deranged doppelgänger Downunder, South Australia: both are attempting to run on sunshine and breezes; both suffer rocketing power prices; and both now have grids on the brink of collapse. South Australia has become … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsession Pushes Power Grid to Brink of Total Collapse
