The wind industry’s insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources has no apparent limit. Inside every giant industrial wind turbine, there’s a bevy of rare minerals which are fast becoming rarer. Then there are more mundane minerals like iron ore (used to make steel) and copper, critical to their generators, internal cabling and wiring, … Continue reading Dig This: Miners Can’t Keep Up With Wind Industry’s Insatiable Mineral Demands

No New Green Deal: Nothing Environmentally Friendly About Wind & Solar
Cultists couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction that both wind and solar leave in their wake, merrily ignoring the thousands of wind turbine blades and millions solar panels already being dumped in landfills. Apparently, their mountainous toxic waste legacy will be something for future generations to deal with. The same characters vilify fossil fuels … Continue reading No New Green Deal: Nothing Environmentally Friendly About Wind & Solar
State Sanctioned Slaughter: Wind Farm Operator Gets Licence to Kill Rare & Endangered Bats
The wind power cult have no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste lands in China (where the rare earths essential to wind turbines are processed); crushing power prices that punish the poorest and most vulnerable in society; and barely shrug at the slaughter … Continue reading State Sanctioned Slaughter: Wind Farm Operator Gets Licence to Kill Rare & Endangered Bats
Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
There’s only one problem with the claim that wind and solar are cheap; that would be the evidence. The power pricing and supply calamity that has struck Britain and Germany, and places like California and South Australia before that, renders the “renewables are cheap” meme little more than delusional nonsense. But the unhinged and unsupported … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Electric Dreams: Why We Can Never Run Exclusively On Wind & Solar Power
The next ‘big thing’ is an all-electric world, where power caressed from sunshine and breezes will provide all the energy, we ever need, for everything we ever do. Given the tag ‘electrification’, it sounds like another simple wheeze that only requires an open mind and a little goodwill. Well, like the grand wind and solar … Continue reading Electric Dreams: Why We Can Never Run Exclusively On Wind & Solar Power
Chairman Mao Returns: ‘Green’ Energy Cult Delivers Another ‘Great Leap Forward’
The ‘transition’ to wind and solar is delivering punishing power prices to those who can least afford it, and the inevitable power rationing surrounding collapses in wind and solar output is crushing businesses of all shapes and sizes. The zealots behind it couldn’t care less about the vulnerable and impoverished that drift along at the … Continue reading Chairman Mao Returns: ‘Green’ Energy Cult Delivers Another ‘Great Leap Forward’
Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Zealots tout Germany as the benchmark for the ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar, but its energy system is a complete debacle; power rationing is the new normal and prices are through the roof. Indeed, any country that got serious about subsidising wind and solar is finding itself in serious trouble. Disastrous examples such as … Continue reading Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Why America’s Green Subsidies Are Making China’s Wind Turbine & Solar Panel Makers Rich
China is profiting nicely from the West’s maniacal obsession with subsidised wind and solar - it dominates the global market for solar panels, with plenty of unwilling assistance from its captive Uighur ethnic minority; and has picked up a solid share of the wind turbine market, thanks to cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power. … Continue reading Why America’s Green Subsidies Are Making China’s Wind Turbine & Solar Panel Makers Rich
Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Renewable energy rent seekers keep spreading the lie about wind and solar being the cheapest form of power there is. Trouble is, there isn’t a shred of evidence to support claims about wind and solar being cheap. There never was. The position your country occupies on the table above is directly related to increased reliance … Continue reading Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
