Shredded: Debunking The Endless Myths Pitched by Renewable Energy Propagandists
The bigger the lie, the more likely the dupe will believe it, which is the game played by renewable energy rent seekers with the line that subsidised wind and solar are the answer to our economic recovery. Just how that might work, is anybody’s guess?

Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
Sunset and calm weather have been with us since the dawn of time; wind and solar power have existed for barely a generation, and only as a result of massive subsidies. The notion that modern economies can operate around the vagaries of the weather and time of day is, of course, patent nonsense. The factory … Continue reading Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return

And, if your buddies start … Continue reading Dead End: Only Crazed Fanatics Promote Wind & Solar as a Serious Power Solution
Living Nightmare: The Daily Misery Caused to Neighbours By Industrial Wind Turbines

How Long Do Wind Turbines Last? 10 Years or Until The Subsidies Run Out (Whichever Occurs First)
Wind power outfits still claim their turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years or more, needing little more than a hug from time to time. However, the operations and maintenance cost of these things, as reported by Australia's Infigen, is around $25 per MWh (hardly the zero marginal … Continue reading How Long Do Wind Turbines Last? 10 Years or Until The Subsidies Run Out (Whichever Occurs First)
