Andrew Cuomo’s plan to carpet New York State with wind turbines has just collided with its Amish farming communities, fighting back along religious lines. A more devout and God-fearing bunch, you’d be hard to find. Shunning many of the trappings of modern society, the Amish might seem backward to some. But, in the battle against … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: For America’s Amish, ‘Freedom of Religion’ Means Freedom From Industrial Wind Turbines

For a taste of what life with these things is really like, why not start with Clive and Trina Gare (South Australian farmers paid $200,000 per year to host 19 2MW … Continue reading Industrial Noise Overload: What Makes Wind Turbine Noise So Soul Destroying
No Free Lunch: The Truly Gobsmacking Cost of Generating Offshore Wind Power
Effervescent claims that offshore wind power is cheap have fallen flat. When the rising capital cost of taking wind turbines offshore is accounted for, the power that they occasionally generate turns out to be the most expensive electricity of all, and by a very substantial margin. A couple of years back in the UK, rent … Continue reading No Free Lunch: The Truly Gobsmacking Cost of Generating Offshore Wind Power
What’s Under the Hood: The Dirty Secrets Of ‘Clean’ Electric Vehicles
In their sillier moments, wind and solar advocates claim that we’ll all soon be driving electric vehicles, lovingly recharged with sunshine and breezes. In Australia, those seemingly virtuous souls with EVs are really being propelled by coal, because 85% of the electricity passing through its Eastern grid comes from coal-fired plants. It’s an irony, … Continue reading What’s Under the Hood: The Dirty Secrets Of ‘Clean’ Electric Vehicles
Barking Mad: Australia’s Ludicrous Plan To Send Subsidised Solar Power 3,350KM From Darwin to Singapore
Australia’s energy policy is a joke, but a plan to send subsidised solar power to Singapore proves lunatics really have taken over the asylum. The Morrison Federal government has given major project status to a 10GW undersea cable to run from Darwin to Singapore over a distance of at least 3,350 km. The cost of … Continue reading Barking Mad: Australia’s Ludicrous Plan To Send Subsidised Solar Power 3,350KM From Darwin to Singapore
Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Even after 30 years and endless subsidies, no country is powering itself exclusively with the wind and solar; no country ever will. But that doesn’t stop our political betters berating us, should we ever beg the question about the purported logic of throwing endless $trillions at something that’s already proven to be an abject failure. … Continue reading Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Power Brawl: Labor Backbenchers Revolt Over Ludicrous Wind & Solar Energy Targets
Having lost the un-loseable election in May last year, an angry rump of Labor backbenchers is keen to ditch the party’s suicidal renewable energy policies, with a view to recovering the ground they lost trying to win the sandalista vote in the inner city goat’s cheese circle. Australia’s economic future depends, in no small part, … Continue reading Power Brawl: Labor Backbenchers Revolt Over Ludicrous Wind & Solar Energy Targets
Helplessly Hopeless: Australia’s Wind Industry Promises Big, But Never Delivers
It takes audacity to call yourself an ‘industry’ when you can’t say when you’ll deliver your product and its only ever delivered 30% of the time, at best. But that’s the business model upon which our wonderful wind powered future is predicated. Australia’s wind ‘industry’ is literally suffering a case of the doldrums, with its … Continue reading Helplessly Hopeless: Australia’s Wind Industry Promises Big, But Never Delivers
Norway’s Reindeer Farmers Sue Swedish-German Wind Power Outfit To Save Their Herd
Rural communities are sick and tired of becoming roadkill for the wind industry, and that includes the nomadic Sami – who graze and herd reindeer across northern Europe’s frozen tundra, ranging across the north of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula. The fact that chaotically intermittent wind power can’t be delivered as and when … Continue reading Norway’s Reindeer Farmers Sue Swedish-German Wind Power Outfit To Save Their Herd
Heartless: Renewable Energy Advocates Hate the Poor & Want to Keep Them That Way
Since World War II affordable power was regarded as a birthright: RE obsessed virtue signallers have destroyed that notion in a heartbeat. In California, compassion is a rare commodity among those promoting and profiting from subsidised wind and solar. Seminal Californian Punk outfit, the Dead Kennedys seem to have foreshadowed their State’s insane energy policy with … Continue reading Heartless: Renewable Energy Advocates Hate the Poor & Want to Keep Them That Way
