If “saving” the planet is – as we are repeatedly told – all about reducing man-made emissions of an odourless, colourless, naturally occurring trace gas, essential for all life on earth – then European energy/environmental policy has manifestly failed. And what an expensive failure it is. In the following piece, the delicious term ‘irony’ springs … Continue reading Trillion Dollar Irony: Europe’s Wind Rush Sends CO2 Emissions Soaring

Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
Pinning its hopes to a wholly weather dependent power source – that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional generation sources – Britain’s energy ‘policy’ was never going to end well. Already faced with an unstable grid and rocketing power prices thanks to its gamble on wind … Continue reading Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
How to Spot Wind Industry Lies: Watch their Lips Move & Noses Grow
Back in September last year we covered the antics of another foreign owned wind power outfit struggling to come to grips with the fact that Australian rural communities have had – as they say – ‘a gutful’ of the wind industry’s lies, treachery and deceit. And they’ve especially had enough of the bully-boy, stand-over tactics … Continue reading How to Spot Wind Industry Lies: Watch their Lips Move & Noses Grow
Wind is ‘Free’: It’s Wind Power That Has Cost Us $BILLIONS
The wind cult keeps telling us that the wind is 'free' and, limited to that, there could be no quibble. However, what their tortured meaning extends to is the claim that electricity generated by allowing these things to caress the breeze is also free; or if not literally 'free', so cheap as to be truly … Continue reading Wind is ‘Free’: It’s Wind Power That Has Cost Us $BILLIONS
Wind Power: the Wick Just Ain’t Worth the Candle: Energy Return vs Energy Invested Explained
In most scenarios involving the sane, equipped with cool, analytical heads, the economic choices we make (and the policies that surround, support or reflect them) are driven by a simple equation: that the economic cost should be outweighed by the benefits on offer. In less than a figurative heartbeat, energy policy has been hijacked by … Continue reading Wind Power: the Wick Just Ain’t Worth the Candle: Energy Return vs Energy Invested Explained
Wind Industry Corruption: Plug Secretly Pulled on Wind Farm Health Investigation
Back in March STT reported on events in Huron County, Ontario – where, overwhelmed by health complaints, regional authorities appeared to have relented in an effort to gather the evidence of the known and obvious effects of incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound - and to act on it (see our post here). We … Continue reading Wind Industry Corruption: Plug Secretly Pulled on Wind Farm Health Investigation
Wind in the Gallows: Study Shows Badgers Suffer Merciless Stress & Torment from Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration
The Wind in the Willows (Kenneth Grahame) has been a childhood favourite for more than a century. The exploits of Toad, Rat, Mole and the elusive but respected Mr Badger, stand as an allegory of what is deemed worthy in the British concept of character, and their understanding of what constitutes good and bad manners. … Continue reading Wind in the Gallows: Study Shows Badgers Suffer Merciless Stress & Torment from Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration
Wind Industry Corruption Leaves Ontario with Nothing But Misery & a Whopping Bill
Ontario has been destroyed by a band of lunatics, headed up by Kathleen Wynne. Rocketing power prices - killing its manufacturers - and tens of thousands of these things killing rural communities, as to their peace, prosperity and cohesion are just some of the consequences of being over-run by wind-cultists. But, behind every political puppet, … Continue reading Wind Industry Corruption Leaves Ontario with Nothing But Misery & a Whopping Bill
Freefall: Wind Power Investment Collapses in Europe
In a 'what goes around comes around' kind of way, it's fitting that the great wind power fraud is taking European 'investors' - of the Energreen mold - to the cleaners. The subsidies have run out and, as night follows day, investors are racing to the exits - which brings the greatest Ponzi scheme of … Continue reading Freefall: Wind Power Investment Collapses in Europe
Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Wind Power Fantasy Doubles Power Prices
**** Ontario was, once upon a time, an agricultural and manufacturing power house. Alas, the former pursuit has been smashed by plummeting property values and sonic torture, making thousands of farm homes uninhabitable; the latter endeavour has been demolished by power costs that have risen 108% due to the fantasy of trying to rely on … Continue reading Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Wind Power Fantasy Doubles Power Prices
