Half-a-million Americans are furious at the offshore wind industry for killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins – aka the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. Hundreds of thousands of civic-minded folk are justifiably … Continue reading Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught

Passion & Power: Clever Communities Hate Industrial Wind Power And They Fight Back
Rural communities are fighting back hard against the great wind power fraud, wherever the wind industry seeks to ply its subsidy-soaked trade. Wherever wind farms have appeared – or have been threatened – big numbers of locals take a set against the monsters being speared into their previously peaceful – and often idyllic – rural … Continue reading Passion & Power: Clever Communities Hate Industrial Wind Power And They Fight Back
Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy
The fact that the offshore wind industry is screaming for more subsidies undermines their wilder claims about offshore wind power being ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. The true cost of wind power is staggering – the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of … Continue reading Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy
If Your Community’s Fighting the Wind Industry – Keep Fighting, No Matter What
No matter where the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade, rural folk soon turn hostile. Smart communities start fighting early and never give up. In the US, the wind industry is on the back foot, with well-organised and furious rural residents – fed up with being driven nuts in their homes, or being driven out … Continue reading If Your Community’s Fighting the Wind Industry – Keep Fighting, No Matter What
US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
The US government has granted America’s offshore wind industry a sweeping licence to destroy thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and more - while permanently trashing critical marine environments in the process. The damage done starts with seismic surveys carried out pre-construction and continues as hundreds of 240m high turbines are punched into the seabed … Continue reading US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
On any reckoning, wind power is an abject failure. Dilute and diffuse, chaotically intermittent, insanely costly (when backup costs are included) and a wholesale environmental disaster, wiping out millions of birds, bats and beneficial bugs, and wrecking the livability the rural communities, nothing stacks up apart from the massive and endless subsidies upon which the … Continue reading Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts
Germany’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster is on display for all to see. It’s a calamity that the MSM refuses to acknowledge. An inconvenient truth, no doubt. Sure, the Russians pulled the plug on gas supplies to Germany, but mother nature does the same with sunshine and breezes, every day. Sunset, cloud cover and calm weather, … Continue reading Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts
Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
South Australians, Californians and Texans know what comes from an overreliance on the unreliables, having suffered numerous weather-related load shedding and mass blackouts. Increasing dependence on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the price we’ve paid for allowing ideology to ride roughshod over sound engineering and solid economics. Once the engineers were relegated to the … Continue reading Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy
Logic and reason don’t register with the wind and sun cult, nor does empathy or compassion. Happy to wreck your community by carpeting it with an endless sea of solar panels and spearing hundreds of bird-munching monsters into your backyard, it’s all care and no responsibility for these characters. Overlooking the real environmental destruction caused … Continue reading No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy
Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay
Incapable of increasing their output to match an increase in demand, wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources. No, for every single MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be another MW of reliable, dispatchable power generation somewhere else, connected to the grid, and ready to deliver the goods, … Continue reading Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay
