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
Burning Cash: (Occasional) Offshore Wind Power More Than Six Times Cost of (Constant) Gas-Fired Power
The true cost of wind power is staggering - the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of gas-fired power. The operating cost of maintaining any industrial machine in a marine environment starts out high and only increases over time, thanks to the corrosive power of … Continue reading Burning Cash: (Occasional) Offshore Wind Power More Than Six Times Cost of (Constant) Gas-Fired Power
Dreamer’s Disease: No Way On Earth That Wind & Solar Can Provide 100% of Our Energy Needs
In their wilder moments, the wind and solar acolyte proclaims that an all-wind and sun-powered future is upon us. Never mind sunset; never mind dead calm weather; and never mind the fact that the idea that giant lithium-ion batteries economically storing wind and solar power at grid-scale is pure hokum - for the dreamer, the … Continue reading Dreamer’s Disease: No Way On Earth That Wind & Solar Can Provide 100% of Our Energy Needs
Permanent No-Hopers: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar No Match For On-Tap Coal-Fired Power
Virtue signalling anti-coal/pro-wind and solar groups are picking a fight they can only lose. NWO/NGOs have launched rabid attacks on any company with the temerity to back coalmining and/or coal-fired power. The activists’ line goes that any company that isn’t telling its shareholders that coal and coal-fired power plants are already dead, is lying to … Continue reading Permanent No-Hopers: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar No Match For On-Tap Coal-Fired Power
American Farmers First: Community Fightback Ends Wind Industry’s Onslaught in Ohio
All winners start out as fighters. So it is in Ohio, where locals have brought the wind industry’s rural onslaught to a shuddering halt. Ohio’s legislature has introduced a raft of new rules which, had they been in force a decade ago, would have saved rural Ohio from subsidy sucking rent-seekers eager to ruin the … Continue reading American Farmers First: Community Fightback Ends Wind Industry’s Onslaught in Ohio
