Wind power is utterly pointless on every level, having been abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, starting with the weather. The oft heard retort from those fighting the prospect of wind turbines being speared into their backyards, is “why don’t they put them offshore?” These are the characters who are simply too gutless to … Continue reading Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Scoundrel’s Paradise: Subsidised Wind & Solar The Greatest Scam on Earth
The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And when we say money, we mean hundreds of billions of dollars of other people’s money. In Australia alone, the Federal Government’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target will redirect over $60 billion in subsidies to wind and large-scale solar operators (all … Continue reading Scoundrel’s Paradise: Subsidised Wind & Solar The Greatest Scam on Earth
Total Flop: After 30 Years & Massive Subsidies, Wind & Solar Satisfies 1.1% of Global Energy Demand
The idea that one day soon we’ll all be powered by sunshine and breezes is infantile nonsense. No modern economy has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar power. Still, we’re continually berated with the notion that our ‘transition’ to all wind and sun powered future is ‘inevitable’. Step back for a moment and … Continue reading Total Flop: After 30 Years & Massive Subsidies, Wind & Solar Satisfies 1.1% of Global Energy Demand
‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Wind Industry’s American Victims Monitored for Infrasound Effects on Heart & Health
STT recently reported on the German government’s efforts to erase data that shows residents are exposed to levels of wind turbine infrasound dangerous to health. Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine noise mounts by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Wind Industry’s American Victims Monitored for Infrasound Effects on Heart & Health
MP Demands Wind Farm Moratorium: Rigged & Pointless Noise Rules ‘Rotten to the Core’
The wind industry is what it is thanks to naïve, gullible and pliant politicians. But not every MP drank the Kool-Aid. One who didn’t is SA Best Member of the Legislative Council, Connie Bonaros. South Australia is the place that set and met its very own ludicrous 50% Renewable Energy Target. For that it … Continue reading MP Demands Wind Farm Moratorium: Rigged & Pointless Noise Rules ‘Rotten to the Core’
Silent Killer: Why Wind Turbine Infrasound Causes Serious Health Problems for Wind Farm Neighbours
Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine noise mounts by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it’s the pulsing nature of low-frequency wind turbine noise … Continue reading Silent Killer: Why Wind Turbine Infrasound Causes Serious Health Problems for Wind Farm Neighbours
Shorten’s Stranglehold: Labor’s 50% RET & ‘Carbon’ Tax Threatens Economic Annihilation
The prospect of a Shorten lead Labor government brings with it a 50% RET and a 45% emissions reduction target (an enormous ‘carbon’ tax by any other name). The consequence will be spiralling power prices and Soviet-era power rationing, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. As every South Australian knows, attempting to … Continue reading Shorten’s Stranglehold: Labor’s 50% RET & ‘Carbon’ Tax Threatens Economic Annihilation
Road to Nowhere: Wind Power’s Pathetic Performance Continues All Across Europe
With the wind always blowing somewhere, it’s claimed that if turbines are spread far and wide, there’ll be a constant supply of wind ‘energy’. Except whole countries and indeed vast tracts of whole continents face dead-calm weather on a routine and regular basis. South-eastern Australia is home to 5,000MW of wind power capacity, spread … Continue reading Road to Nowhere: Wind Power’s Pathetic Performance Continues All Across Europe
Wrecking Ball: Labor’s 50% RET Guarantees Wholesale Economic Destruction
Anyone wanting to understand what a 50% RET can do to an economy, look no further than South Australia. Once upon a time, thanks to cheap and reliable coal-fired power, it was a manufacturing heartland. In the 1970s, Adelaide was home to 2 (General Motors Holden and Chrysler – taken over by Mitsubishi in … Continue reading Wrecking Ball: Labor’s 50% RET Guarantees Wholesale Economic Destruction
Bill Shorten’s ALP: Loves Subsidising Chaotic Wind & Solar/Hates Real Industry & Real Jobs
Australia was once an energy superpower, supporting mining, mineral processing, manufacturing and energy-intensive agriculture (think irrigators, dairies, aquaculture and horticulture). Pretty soon, if Bill Shorten’s Labor Party gets anywhere near the controls, power prices will be driven to astronomical levels and those industries driven out of existence. Hundreds of thousands of well-paid, meaningful jobs … Continue reading Bill Shorten’s ALP: Loves Subsidising Chaotic Wind & Solar/Hates Real Industry & Real Jobs
