Back-off Boris: Australia in No Mood for Lecture on Energy Policy from Brits

Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson is running energy policies that were written by and for the Greens. Touting an all-wind powered future and an end to fossil fuels, his little island nation has already experienced mass blackouts courtesy of its obsession with wind power and is set for a whole lot more if Johnson’s plans get anywhere … Continue reading Back-off Boris: Australia in No Mood for Lecture on Energy Policy from Brits

Want Blackouts? Take Liberal Helpings of Wind & Solar, Add Subsidies & Stir

There’s nothing innately predictable about the weather, so trying to rely on it for your power needs doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Sure, solar panels might deliver somewhere between 4-6 hours of useful power on a sunny day. But, don’t expect much during periods of heavy rain and overcast conditions. Oh, and desert … Continue reading Want Blackouts? Take Liberal Helpings of Wind & Solar, Add Subsidies & Stir

Reliability Addiction: Despite Wind & Solar Surge, Europe’s Still Hooked on Coal

Germany’s efforts to ditch coal-fired power for good, is a little like St Augustine’s prayer asking his Lord to make him chaste, but just not yet. Back in April, a week after it forced the shutdown of 11 coal-fired power plants, it was forced to reopen them to avoid mass blackouts. Germany legislated a ban … Continue reading Reliability Addiction: Despite Wind & Solar Surge, Europe’s Still Hooked on Coal

Hacked Off: Giant Texan Wind Farm Project Axed Due to CCP Spying & Grid Hacking Threat

Faced with the threat of Chinese Communist Party hackers infiltrating and wrecking its grid, Texan legislators have just scotched a giant wind farm project. CCP backed hackers messing around with an individual wind turbine is one thing, but bringing down an entire power grid is quite another. And that’s the very risk that ought to … Continue reading Hacked Off: Giant Texan Wind Farm Project Axed Due to CCP Spying & Grid Hacking Threat

Spreading Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Toxic Plastics During Operation

There’s a landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills Thousands of 45-70m blades (weighing between 10 to 25 tonnes) are being ground up and mixed with concrete used in the bases … Continue reading Spreading Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Toxic Plastics During Operation

Demolition Squad: What Happens to Worn Out Wind Turbines? They Get Blown to Bits

With an economic lifespan of around 15 years, thousands of these things are already on life support and hundreds are already terminal. When their palliative care reaches the end-of-life phase, it’s time to call in the demolition squad to do their darndest.

No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar power; no country ever will. In Britain, the threat of blackouts now looms every time the wind drops off, thanks to an overreliance on unreliable wind power. Back in August 2019 we reported on a mass blackout that struck Britain, when an offshore wind … Continue reading Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain?

Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb

There’s nothing funny about being frozen to death in the dark. More than half of the 200 Texans who died during the mass blackouts that struck the midwest during February this year died of hypothermia, thanks to a lack of power. In all some 4.5 million households were left freezing in the dark when solar … Continue reading Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb

Burning Cash: Renewable Energy Slush Fund Wasting $Billions of Taxpayers’ Money

If massive subsidies tacked onto your power bill and directed to wind and solar generators wasn’t enough, there’s a government backed slush fund channelling hundreds of $millions into the wind and solar scam, as well. In Australia the Clean Energy Finance Corporation is a Federal government backed outfit that has been doling out soft money … Continue reading Burning Cash: Renewable Energy Slush Fund Wasting $Billions of Taxpayers’ Money

Rapacious Renewables: How The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Devouring the Planet

Crony capitalists aren’t just promoting subsidised wind and solar, they see subsidised Electric Vehicles as yet another means of lining their pockets with taxpayers’ money. The marketing pitch is that this is all for the good of the Planet. Whirling wonders lovingly caressing breezes to capture ‘free energy’; energy-rich sunbeams falling gently onto sheets of … Continue reading Rapacious Renewables: How The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Devouring the Planet
