**** The wind industry parades as an “alternative” energy source. Which begs the question: “alternative” to what? The lunatics from the hard-green left (like "Greens" head-muppet, Christine Milne) continually whine that "coal is DEATH"; and wax lyrical about the fantasy of going "100% renewable" - all the while pocketing $millions in campaign funding from the … Continue reading Why Coal Miners, Oil and Gas Producers Simply Love Wind Power

Noose Tightens on Spain’s Wind Farm Fraudsters: Tax Inspectors Uncover €110 million Paid as Bribes & Backhanders
**** The wind industry seems to attract a particular class of bloke, in much the same way that the Prohibition era drew lots of heavy-set Italians to the Mob.

Australian Senators – Day, Leyonhjelm & Canavan – Line Up to Can Big Wind
**** STT likes to go in hard, call it early and keep on backing it up. Sure we descend to colourful language, and polish it off with a healthy smear of good old-fashioned sarcasm.

Want to Help the Poorest? Then It’s Time to Ditch Wind Power

Then It’s Time to Ditch Wind Power
Wind Power’s Toxic Embrace
**** Our Toxic Relationship with Wind Power The Valley Patriot Christine Morabito February, 2015 If clean, safe and efficient energy is to be our standard, then why use wind power at all?

German’s Top Daily – Bild – says Time to Chop Massive Subsidies for Wind Power
**** The Germans went into wind power harder and faster than anyone else – and the cost of doing so is catching up with a vengeance.

Victorian Country Fire Authority’s Claim that Wind Turbines Not Combustible Scorched
**** During the Senate Inquiry's first hearing into the great wind power fraud, the Committee had to listen to a number of wind industry backed patsies and stooges. Among them were a pair from Victoria's Country Fire Authority (CFA): Craig Brownlie (Operations Officer, Specialist Response) and Andrew Andreou (Executive Manager, Community Infrastructure). When the pair were quizzed … Continue reading Victorian Country Fire Authority’s Claim that Wind Turbines Not Combustible Scorched
Top US Energy Economist Takes the Scalpel to the Great Wind Power Fraud
**** One of the great mysteries behind the lunacy that is the great wind power fraud is how and why so many governments launched into mandating massive and endless subsidies (filched from unwitting power consumers and/or taxpayers) for an utterly meaningless power generation source - WITHOUT ever having carried out a cost/benefit analysis? You know, … Continue reading Top US Energy Economist Takes the Scalpel to the Great Wind Power Fraud
Wind Industry Ponzi Scheme Collapsing: Pacific Hydro’s “Downfall”
**** Pacific Hydro is a name synonymous with wind industry skulduggery in Australia: the merciless treatment of its victims at Cape Bridgewater has been added to the annals of Australian corporate infamy, right up there with Aussie asbestos pedlar, James Hardie (see our post here). Pac Hydro has copped a pasting for riding roughshod over … Continue reading Wind Industry Ponzi Scheme Collapsing: Pacific Hydro’s “Downfall”
