For too long the wind industry has owned the game. Now, increasingly furious communities are fighting back and they are winning. Driven nuts by noise and shadow flicker, neighbours are no longer prepared to act as doormats or roadkill for a subsidy-soaked industry run by liars, frauds and sociopaths. A group of farmers from … Continue reading Iowa Farmers Claim Brilliant Victory: Judge Orders Immediate Destruction of Illegal Wind Turbines

Never Economic, Never Competitive: Wind Industry Built on Lies & Runs on Subsidies
The wind industry has been firmly attached the subsidy teat for more than 30 years. Talk about being competitive with conventional generators is patent nonsense: cut the subsidies and this so-called ‘industry’ would disappear in a heartbeat. Whether it’s in Western Victoria, South Australia or in the midwest of the USA, wind power is always … Continue reading Never Economic, Never Competitive: Wind Industry Built on Lies & Runs on Subsidies
Deutschland’s Death Spiral: Germany Can’t Control Runaway Cost of ‘Green’ Energy ‘Transition’
When energy policy is driven by ideology, rather than engineering, physics and economics, expect mixed results. Unmitigated disasters, like Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia are just the most obvious examples of what happens when lunatics take charge of the asylum. Germany is right up there, too. With rocketing power prices and a grid … Continue reading Deutschland’s Death Spiral: Germany Can’t Control Runaway Cost of ‘Green’ Energy ‘Transition’
Blackouts Beckon: Calm Weather & Sunset Deliver Chaos in Renewables Obsessed Australia
In renewables obsessed Australia these days, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, the talk inevitably turns to blackouts. Last summer, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced to power down during a run of scorching … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon: Calm Weather & Sunset Deliver Chaos in Renewables Obsessed Australia
Labor Lunacy: Industry Wipeout Looms as Bill Shorten Doubles-down on Wind & Solar Insanity
Labor - aka the ‘Workers Party’ - is determined to destroy whole industries and thousands of jobs with a 50% RET and a giant ‘carbon’ tax. Australian industry has been a protected species since the Victorian gold rush in the 1850s, cosseted behind an insurmountable wall of tariffs and propped up with subsidies. As … Continue reading Labor Lunacy: Industry Wipeout Looms as Bill Shorten Doubles-down on Wind & Solar Insanity
Powerful Nonsense: Even With Mythical Mega-Batteries 100% Renewable Energy Remains 100% Fantasy
No country has ever powered itself entirely on sunshine and breezes. But that doesn’t deter the delusional from claiming it can be done. With the kind of fanatical zeal that led to virgins being thrown into volcanoes, politicians announce their commitment to an all sun and wind powered future, as if such a thing was … Continue reading Powerful Nonsense: Even With Mythical Mega-Batteries 100% Renewable Energy Remains 100% Fantasy
Wind Turbines the Perfect Bushfire Starters: Fire & Fury Coming Soon to Your Backyard
As Australians brace for a searing summer, spare a thought for communities riddled with wind turbines: the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have blown up in balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal and over 1,000 litres of flaming gear oil and hydraulic fluid (see our post here) … Continue reading Wind Turbines the Perfect Bushfire Starters: Fire & Fury Coming Soon to Your Backyard
RET Regrets: Nothing to Show for Wind & Solar Surge Except Rocketing Prices & Supply Chaos
Thanks to an obsession with wind and solar Australians now pay retail power prices among the highest in the world. The wind and solar capital, South Australia suffers the highest, bar none. The reasons it got that way are hardly a mystery. Dr Michael Crawford’s graphic should help the uninitiated. The staggering cost of the … Continue reading RET Regrets: Nothing to Show for Wind & Solar Surge Except Rocketing Prices & Supply Chaos
Climate Alarmism Meets Energy Realism: Climate Scientists Reject Wind & Solar & Demand Nuclear Powered Future
In the climate alarmists’ worldwide crusade against carbon dioxide gas, only the most delusional still believe that wind and solar power add anything to their arsenal. As we have said repeatedly, nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source which is capable of delivering power on demand, without CO2 emissions being generated in the … Continue reading Climate Alarmism Meets Energy Realism: Climate Scientists Reject Wind & Solar & Demand Nuclear Powered Future
Summer Holiday-Hell: Power Consumers Face Staggering Bill Whenever Wind Power Goes AWOL
When RE zealots talk about the ‘transition’ to wind and solar, they never specify when. They say it’s ‘inevitable’, but always kick the can down the road when pressed about precisely when we’ll all be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. Perhaps it’s got something to do with sunset? Or maybe even the weather? … Continue reading Summer Holiday-Hell: Power Consumers Face Staggering Bill Whenever Wind Power Goes AWOL
