Wind Power is Built on Mountains of Coal & a Sea of Oil
**** The wind-worshipper rails at sites like ours, screaming - in a kind of hopeful hex - that we're backed by BIG Oil and BIG Coal and will, accordingly, rot in hell for our temerity in challenging their infantile world view. Maybe we will bunk-up down below in the next life, but that'll be due … Continue reading Wind Power is Built on Mountains of Coal & a Sea of Oil
Typically Bogus ‘Green’ Jobs Promise sees Texan Wind Power Outfit Sued for $2.7M
**** As the wind industry hoodwinked its way around the globe, one of the standard promises (well, more like bait for the more gullible fish in the pond), used to sucker in politicians was that, if (and only if) those in power were ready to sign over their constituents’ hard-won property rights, as well as … Continue reading Typically Bogus ‘Green’ Jobs Promise sees Texan Wind Power Outfit Sued for $2.7M
Australia’s Wind Industry Under Siege: LRET Subsidy Set to be Slashed (Again)
**** Subsidy won't generate target Australian Financial Review Ben Potter 10 March 2016 Less than a 10th of the wind and solar generation capacity required by the renewable energy target this decade is under construction, which could force the Turnbull government to renegotiate the controversial scheme with the opposition. Significant shortfalls under the cross-subsidy scheme … Continue reading Australia’s Wind Industry Under Siege: LRET Subsidy Set to be Slashed (Again)
Community Defenders Bomb Wind Farm in the Philippines
**** After years of being lied to, bullied, berated and treated like fools (at best) and “road-kill” (at worst), for most, the ‘gloss’ comprising wind industry PR efforts to ‘win hearts and minds’ has well and truly worn off. These days, the communities aren’t so gullible; they aren’t so welcoming; and they aren’t willing to … Continue reading Community Defenders Bomb Wind Farm in the Philippines
Wind Turbine Rollout Turns Californian Desert from Dream to Nightmare
**** Stop ruining our priceless desert in the name of the big 'E' The Bakersfield Californian Girard Fisher 1 March 2016 Ever been to Nipton? It’s a whistle stop on the northern edge of the Mojave National Preserve. It’s as far west of the California state line as nearby Primm, Nev., is east. In other … Continue reading Wind Turbine Rollout Turns Californian Desert from Dream to Nightmare
Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
**** Nuclear power is the only stand-alone thermal power source that is base-load, which does not emit CO2 emissions, while providing what we all justifiably crave: power on demand. It’s true that geothermal falls into the same category, but away from volcanic zones (think New Zealand and Iceland) depends on accessing “hot-rocks” deep underground – … Continue reading Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
Wind & Solar Power can NEVER Replace Conventional Power Generation
**** The death of the wind industry didn't come about because BIG Coal felt 'threatened' and set out in some kind of John Grisham conspiracy to wreck it by fair means or foul. No. What kills it is the fact that a growing band of 'eco-travellers' - of the kind who once placed their faith … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power can NEVER Replace Conventional Power Generation
The Fantasy of Storing Wind Power: No Commercial System Exists & None is Likely
**** The wind industry is the perpetual infant of power generation: always looking for the subsidies to last that little bit longer; always promising to improve its performance; always claiming it will outdo hydro, coal and gas – provided, of course, that the subsidies keep flowing. STT for one thinks the wind industry has had … Continue reading The Fantasy of Storing Wind Power: No Commercial System Exists & None is Likely
Wind Power Costs Crushing South Australian Businesses: Firms Hit with 90% Price Hike
**** South Australia embarked upon its wind power 'experiment' more than 15 years ago, when its Labor government climbed into bed with the boys from Babcock & Brown (aka Infigen) and a disgraced American lawyer and convicted con-man, Tim Flato (who robbed his clients of close to US$400,000, got struck-off, and scuttled off to set … Continue reading Wind Power Costs Crushing South Australian Businesses: Firms Hit with 90% Price Hike
