Anyone claiming that wind turbines are quiet has never lived with them in their backyards. A grinding, thumping cacophony of amplitude modulated low-frequency noise and infrasound is a daily misery for far too many rural residents. Back in December last year, we reported on a group of Iowa farmers who took on a developer and … Continue reading The Sound of Silence: Iowa Farmers Cherish Peace & Quiet After Judge Shuts Down Wind Turbines

Giant Ponzi Scam Busted: Renewable Energy Fraudster Trades ‘Green’ for Orange Prison Garb
Heavily subsidised wind and solar and a bevy of associated rorts and scams attract plenty of spivs, chancers and outright crooks. South Australia became renowned as Australia’s wind power capital thanks to a bunch of shysters and ex-convicts from the USA who started the whole scam rolling: How a Band of Criminals, Shysters & Chancers … Continue reading Giant Ponzi Scam Busted: Renewable Energy Fraudster Trades ‘Green’ for Orange Prison Garb
No Dice: Democrats ‘New Green Deal’ Nothing More Than Costly Fantasy
That we’re on the brink of an all wind and sun powered future is an audacious wheeze that sits at the heart of the ‘New Green Deal’. Any sentient being, bothering to apply a little superficial consideration, understands that the claim that wind and solar will soon provide 100% of our electricity needs is complete … Continue reading No Dice: Democrats ‘New Green Deal’ Nothing More Than Costly Fantasy
Peter Pan Power: Wind & Solar Obsession = Destructive Juvenile Fantasy
The wind and solar 'industries' are a lot like Peter Pan – the eternal child, who will fight, kick and scream to avoid the stark reality of adulthood. How often have we heard the yarn about wind and solar power needing a fat pile of subsidies (filched from taxpayers and power consumers) for just that … Continue reading Peter Pan Power: Wind & Solar Obsession = Destructive Juvenile Fantasy
Renewables Rejected: Community Backlash Forces Californian Counties to Ban Giant Wind & Solar Projects
Community hostility to industrial wind power is inevitable, when the community in question is the one that ends up with 300 tonne monsters speared in its backyard. The characters that never leave the inner-city latte zone are more than happy to destroy your rural landscape, your peaceful rural way of life and the value … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: Community Backlash Forces Californian Counties to Ban Giant Wind & Solar Projects
Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
The relationship between intermittent renewables and rocketing power prices is pretty obvious, just ask a Dane, German or South Australian. These joints have a couple of things in common: heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent renewable energy and the world’s highest power prices. That, well-settled, relationship is universal, as Fancis Menton documents below. How Much Do … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Germany’s wind and solar experiment has failed: the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) has turned into an insanely costly debacle. German power prices have rocketed; blackouts and load shedding are the norm; and once bucolic farmland has been turned into industrial wastelands (see above). Hundreds of billions of euros have been squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, … Continue reading Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro
Give a sentient being a few moments of uninterrupted consideration and they’ll soon work out why wind power can never work. Start with the weather. No one plans a weekend kite flying expedition a month in advance. And circumnavigating sailors know not to announce their arrival date at the time of departure, for much the … Continue reading Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro
Flat Broke & Busted: German Wind Turbine Maker Senvion’s Spectacular Financial Collapse
Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat. The business model (read 'colossal government mandated scam') has all the hallmarks of an enormous Ponzi scheme - the wind industry's demise is a matter of when, not if. The withdrawal of subsidies across Europe has taken its toll, as the number of … Continue reading Flat Broke & Busted: German Wind Turbine Maker Senvion’s Spectacular Financial Collapse
Insidious Infrasound: Governments Blind to Residents Suffering From Wind Industry Torture
If there’s one thing worse than the wind industry lying about the effects of incessant wind turbine noise and infrasound, it’s governments helping them do so. Over the last decade, the wind industry has ridden roughshod over the rights of law-abiding citizens to live peacefully in their very own homes. The battle that’s followed proves … Continue reading Insidious Infrasound: Governments Blind to Residents Suffering From Wind Industry Torture
