The environmental destruction caused by the offshore wind industry has completely flipped public opinion. The wanton destruction of marine habitats, fishing grounds and the wholesale slaughter of whales, dolphins and other marine mammals has drawn the same kind of attention that attracts people to multicar pileups. In this case, the characters responsible are easily identified … Continue reading Floating Offshore Wind Turbines – Next Great Financial & Environmental Disaster

Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex
Crony capitalists come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their political enablers. The whole point of patronage, networking and gladhanding is obtaining benefits not available to anyone else. The only people that complain about a rort are those that aren’t in on it. The Climate Industrial Complex was built on will the back … Continue reading Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex
Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
The wind and solar ‘industries’ profit from two tier environmental regulation. Where a gas or coal project gets knocked out of the park over a speckled banjo frog or a sea snake, the deliberate slaughter of rare and iconic creatures to make way for wind turbines or solar panels rarely raises an eyebrow with those … Continue reading Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
Offshore Wind Power Carries Colossal Cost and Delivers Zero Benefits
Never capable of delivering power on demand, offshore wind is as pointless as pushing on string. As the most expensive way of (occasionally) generating electricity, only the terminally insane would consider investing a nickel. Which is why rent-seekers rigged the game with massive subsidies, mandates and tax breaks from the get go. The value of … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power Carries Colossal Cost and Delivers Zero Benefits
Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land
Whether it’s pristine ancient forests or prime agricultural land, wind and solar outfits will destroy it in a heartbeat. If left to the cynical rent-seeking class, there won’t be an inch of the planet worth saving, after they have carpeted it with millions of acres of part-time power producing panels and speared millions of these … Continue reading Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land
Furious Fishermen Stage Revolt Against Offshore Wind Industry
The offshore wind industry is facing the fury of fishermen determined to protect their fisheries, their livelihoods and the environment they live and work in. Along America’s Atlantic coast, fishermen of all shapes and sizes have turned on the offshore wind industry with an industrial scale fury. Right alongside them are those with a passionate … Continue reading Furious Fishermen Stage Revolt Against Offshore Wind Industry
Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster
Britain’s power consumers are paying a heavy price for its maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to keep up its nuclear plants now looks positively suicidal. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. … Continue reading Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster
Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
The wind industry started out as absurd, and only became more so over time. The turbines became bigger, the blades longer and capacities went from piddling 1.5 MW machines to 18MW monsters - albeit so large they can barely stand up against stiff breezes, let alone a full-blown hurricane. As the blades grew, their habit … Continue reading Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing
In another you ‘couldn’t make it up’ moment, the wind industry has been busted burning tonnes of diesel to keep turbines spinning in an effort to prevent them freezing solid during cold weather. In Scotland, the ‘fossil fuel’ consumption outbreak involves burning diesel in local generators, which send power into the turbines to keep them … Continue reading Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing
Death by Numbers: Wind Industry Can’t Avoid Mounting Whale Carcass Count
The offshore wind industry is taking a pounding for its pointless slaughter of whales, dolphins and more. And rightly so. While the US Federal government has provided wind power outfits with a license to kill, the general public are not so forgiving. And they’re growing hostility represent a whale-sized political problem for offshore wind. Once … Continue reading Death by Numbers: Wind Industry Can’t Avoid Mounting Whale Carcass Count
