A while back we covered what the wind industry and its parasites call “component liberation” in our post – Life in the “throw zone” which included video of a Vestas’ turbine “liberating” its components. That led to a retort from an employee from AGL’s Macarthur wind farm disaster – calling himself “Prowind” – about the … Continue reading New Wave of Turbine Terror: Brits Brace as Giant Fans Keep Collapsing

While there's been a lot of huff and puff emanating from energy dimwits, Ian "Macca" Macfarlane and his youthful ward, Gregory Hunt about saving the mandatory … Continue reading The Wind Industry’s Worst Nightmare – Angus Taylor – says: time to kill the LRET
Terry McCrann: The Answer to Our Energy Future Ain’t Wind Power
Answer ain’t blowing in the wind Terry McCrann The Australian 13 September 2014 IT’S doubtful that those who have attacked Dick Warburton’s review of the Renewable Energy Target have actually read even the executive summary, other than through a misty film of increasingly foam-flecked rage or rising horror at the prospect of the cookie jar … Continue reading Terry McCrann: The Answer to Our Energy Future Ain’t Wind Power
Robert Bryce: Want to live in Stone-Age Poverty? Then tie your future to Wind Power
**** Robert Bryce picked the wind power fraud for what it is from the very beginning. In his 2010 book “Power Hungry: The Myths of “Green” Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future” (Public Affairs), Bryce skewered every one of the myths relied upon by the wind industry to peddle its wares; and went … Continue reading Robert Bryce: Want to live in Stone-Age Poverty?

Terry McCrann: The Mandatory RET – It’s Only a RORT When You’re Not In On It
Follow the money trail, and RET spells rort not power Herald Sun Terry McCrann 8 September 2014 TWO eternal pieces of advice emerged from the Watergate saga that kneecapped Richard Nixon’s presidency and then the president himself. The first was the observation that it’s not the crime that gets you but the cover-up; the second … Continue reading Terry McCrann: The Mandatory RET – It’s Only a RORT When You’re Not In On It
Danish High Court Orders Compensation for Wind Turbine Noise Victims
In Denmark struggling fan maker Vestas is synonymous with the Danish wind industry. In Australia, and elsewhere, Vestas went on a propaganda rampage last year with its "Act-on-Facts" campaign aimed at counteracting known and obvious facts (to anyone with half-a-brain – that is) with crackers such as the wind is NOT intermittent; families with young … Continue reading Danish High Court Orders Compensation for Wind Turbine Noise Victims
Politicians & Business Finally Waking Up to the Massive Costs of the LRET
**** In this post we highlighted the political distinction between the small scale renewable energy scheme (SRES) – which doles out subsidies for rooftop solar – and the Large-Scale RET (LRET) - upon which the debacle that is the wind industry depends. While Greg Hunt and Ian “Macca” Macfarlane have been running around talking up … Continue reading Politicians & Business Finally Waking Up to the Massive Costs of the LRET
Senator Chris Back: Wind Industry must prove its CO2 abatement claims
**** In our last post we tipped a bucket on the central, endlessly repeated lie trotted out by the wind industry and its parasites, that Australia's great wind rush has resulted in substantial reductions of CO2 emissions in the electricity sector. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for … Continue reading Senator Chris Back: Wind Industry must prove its CO2 abatement claims
Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
The central, endlessly repeated lie (upon which the great wind power fraud rests) is that increasing wind power generation results in decreases in CO2 emissions. In Australia, the central object of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 is for "renewable" energy to "reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector" (see s3). But, somewhere … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind Power Increases CO2 Emissions in the Electricity Sector
Angus Taylor: Coalition set to kill the wind industry, while supporting rooftop solar
With the wind industry reeling after the RET review panel delivered its recommendation to slam the door shut on any more wind farms (see our post here), it’s sought to whip up support for the mandatory RET by enlisting the usual band of useful Marxist idiots (like GetUp! and 350.org) to rally a band of … Continue reading Angus Taylor: Coalition set to kill the wind industry, while supporting rooftop solar
