Morality Fail: Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar Are Being Used To Keep Millions In Poverty

Electricity is a civilising force; once seen as a common good to be provided universally to those without it, but no longer. For the impoverished power is a path out of poverty and not just a means of lighting homes and cooking meals. The political class that trumpet global warming as the singular threat to … Continue reading Morality Fail: Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar Are Being Used To Keep Millions In Poverty

Danes Dissemble: Offshore Wind Farm Operator Covers Up Cause of Long-Term Shut Down

The wind industry was built on lies and myth and runs on subsidies.  So, if you’re looking for a straight answer, don’t bother quizzing a wind farm operator. Sure, the usual corporate PR spin can be expected from any commercial outfit.  But, as David Collins is quickly learning, if you’re trying to elicit information from … Continue reading Danes Dissemble: Offshore Wind Farm Operator Covers Up Cause of Long-Term Shut Down

Renewable Energy Rubbish: Who Pays to Clean Up ‘Green’ Energy’s Colossal Mess?

Wind turbines and solar panels produce rubbish energy and, after a decade or so, they’re simply rubbish. Where wind and solar lack constancy in their ability to produce power as and when we need it, they make up for it in their ability to produce a constant stream of toxic waste. Here’s one from the … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rubbish: Who Pays to Clean Up ‘Green’ Energy’s Colossal Mess?

Nothing But Hot Air: Why ‘Green’ Hydrogen Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar

‘Green’ hydrogen is said to be the latest cure for the inherent intermittency of wind and solar power. But the claims surrounding a gas that might be manufactured using wind and solar power, is little more than hot air. In short, we are witnessing a great hydrogen hoax, driven by the same rent-seeking opportunists the … Continue reading Nothing But Hot Air: Why ‘Green’ Hydrogen Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar

Loaded Dice: How The Wind Industry Rigged Noise ‘Rules’ So It Could Ruin Neighbours’ Lives

When it comes to the noise that drives neighbours nuts, wind power outfits get away with blue murder. And there’s a reason for that. Over the years, hundreds of our posts have covered the topic of the adverse health effects caused by turbine generated incessant low-frequency noise and infrasound; the woefully inadequate, indeed, utterly irrelevant … Continue reading Loaded Dice: How The Wind Industry Rigged Noise ‘Rules’ So It Could Ruin Neighbours’ Lives

Impossible Dream: Why Energy Storage Systems Can’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Intermittency

Renewable energy storage is literally setting the world on fire. When giant lithium-ion batteries aren’t exploding in toxic balls of flame, their limited capacity means that they add a trivial occasional trickle of electricity to the grid; and do so at an astronomical cost. The wind and solar acolyte would have us believe that if … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Why Energy Storage Systems Can’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Intermittency

Justice Looms: Wind Farm Operator Faces Liability for $Millions in Damages to Noise Nuisance Victims

  No one has to suffer endless sleepless nights caused by wind turbines without redress or compensation. It’s the law. On that score, a group of farmers has turned the tables on the wind farm operator who has been driving them mad since March 2015. Back then, Japan’s Mitsui and Co speared 52, 2 MW … Continue reading Justice Looms: Wind Farm Operator Faces Liability for $Millions in Damages to Noise Nuisance Victims

Dangerous Ice Age Looms: Wind Turbines Freeze Up & Fail During Winter Cold Snaps

  A changing climate’s said to justify massive subsidies to wind turbines and solar panels, but they’re as useless in frigid weather as they are when the mercury soars. The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters – getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. Last … Continue reading Dangerous Ice Age Looms: Wind Turbines Freeze Up & Fail During Winter Cold Snaps

Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster

When a notionally first world economy can’t keep the lights on, you’ll find an overreliance on wind and solar at the heart of it. So it is in California. As in Germany, as in South Australia, Californians are victims of a maniacal obsession with wind turbines and solar panels.  The consequences are as perfectly predictable, … Continue reading Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster

Wind Industry ‘Support’ Fades: No Place For Subsidised Wind Power, Anywhere, Ever

The line about everyone just “loving” wind farms is all down to spin from wind industry propaganda merchants based on Mickey Mouse “surveys” that claim that every last one of your compatriots is itching to spear thousands of things right into your backyard (not theirs, of course). Nothing generates more hatred and bitter community division … Continue reading Wind Industry ‘Support’ Fades: No Place For Subsidised Wind Power, Anywhere, Ever
