Net Zero Madness: Why Wind Power Expansion Plans Don’t Add Up
Akin to pushing on string, you can keep building these things ad infinitum and add nothing in terms of meaningful power generation capacity.

Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
Dumping 45-60m long, 10-20 tonne turbine blades in landfills is a costly ‘solution’ that many wind power outfits seem keen to avoid. Back in August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine blades at three sites in Iowa. Global Fiberglass Solutions Inc had accumulated some 1,300 blades … Continue reading Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
