Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor

Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Claims that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years are a proven nonsense.

So, … Continue reading Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Wind & Sun Undone: 100% Renewables Claims Complete Fantasy
In their sillier moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would get out of their way, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come. However, in the global scheme of things, the contribution from wind and solar power barely registers, and amounts … Continue reading Wind & Sun Undone: 100% Renewables Claims Complete Fantasy
German Wind Industry Collapse Imminent: Engineering Professor Deems ‘Energiewende’ Terminal

For the best part of 20 years, the wind cult has attempted to justify the hundreds of $billions squandered on … Continue reading Wind Power: Unfolding Environmental Disaster – Entire Ecosystems Collapsing
Counting the Cost of Subsidised Wind Power: Some Basic Facts

Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
As that great frog-philosopher, Kermit reckoned, it isn't easy being 'green'. It is even harder when the cost of attempting to do so is, quite literally, crippling. Back in July, a family-owned specialist plastics recycling company in South Australia was forced to close its doors for good, with the loss of 35 jobs, after … Continue reading Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
