Wind power’s meant to be clean, green and safe as houses, but these things have a habit of hurling deadly chunks of ice at people on foot, motorists and the buildings people occupy. Throwing 10 tonne blades hundreds of metres, and chunks thereof, for kilometres isn’t the limit of the wholly unnecessary risk created by giant industrial wind … Continue reading Icy Killer: Motorists Forced to Dodge Huge Chunks of Ice Thrown From Wind Turbine Blades

Are Friends Electric: Push for Industrial Electrification Exposes Costly Futility of Intermittent Wind & Solar
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, to … Continue reading Are Friends Electric: Push for Industrial Electrification Exposes Costly Futility of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Long Road to Run: Fossil Fuels Powering the Planet Now & For Generations To Come
Renewable energy rent seekers have turned the ‘it’s a climate catastrophe’ dial all the way to 11 in an effort to convince us that our only salvation is an all sun and wind powered future. At the top end of town where bank executives and institutional investors roam, the propaganda is directed at convincing ‘the … Continue reading Long Road to Run: Fossil Fuels Powering the Planet Now & For Generations To Come
Money For Jam: Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar The Greatest Subsidy Scam In History
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies, myths and propaganda and run on subsidies. As wind power ‘investor’ Warren Buffett put it: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Buffett might … Continue reading Money For Jam: Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar The Greatest Subsidy Scam In History
Ever-Dependable: Coal-Fired Power Keeps On Keeping On During Australia’s Bushfire Battle
Of the more delusional claims made by wind power proponents, the notion that wind power is more dependable and reliable than coal-fired power, takes the cake. Back in December, Victoria’s Premier, Daniel Andrews revealed his tenuous grip on reality when he made the very same assertion: Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar … Continue reading Ever-Dependable: Coal-Fired Power Keeps On Keeping On During Australia’s Bushfire Battle
Toxic Shock: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Leave Poisoned Landfill Legacy For Generations To Come
Troubled teenagers demanding an all wind and sun powered future are setting themselves up for an almighty toxic shock, with hundreds of millions of wind turbine blades destined for landfill. As Steve St. Angelo reports from the USA, wind turbine blades are non-recyclable due to the fact that they are a complex composite of highly … Continue reading Toxic Shock: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Leave Poisoned Landfill Legacy For Generations To Come
Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Courts that aren’t biased in favour of the wind industry are rare birds, indeed. Slowly but surely, however, the law is catching up with the scope and scale of the environmental and societal harm caused whenever these things get speared into rural communities, farmland and forests. Ireland is no exception. The Emerald Isle has been … Continue reading Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Once upon a time, electricity had a value defined by demand, not by the weather. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has absolutely no commercial value. Which brings us to weather-dependent wind power; generated in chaotic, random intervals, it’s a case of either feast or famine. But businesses and households don’t … Continue reading Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar means not only spiralling retail power prices, but guarantees widespread load shedding (aka “demand management”) and blackouts (‘demand mismanagement’), whenever demand peaks and wind and solar output collapses around sunset and calm weather. The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And … Continue reading Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
There’s something altogether cynical about well-healed nations forcing the impoverished to embrace expensive and unreliable wind and solar. It is, of course, all done in the name of ‘saving the planet’. [Note to Ed: Not to mention saving the manufacturers of industrial wind turbines and solar panels, who are struggling back home]. As any economist … Continue reading Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
