China Counts the Staggering Cost of its Wind Power Experiment
Plenty of what Westerners know about the Middle Kingdom is more marvellous myth than solid fact.

Pointless Carnage Mounts: Wind Farms Guilty of Mass British Bat Slaughter
‘Green’ hypocrisy is the new ‘black’. The pointless slaughter of millions of birds and bats by wind turbines, all over the globe is just another ‘inconvenient truth’ for the wind cultist.

British Wind Industry’s Desperate Bid to Retain Subsidies Crushed by Court of Appeal

Astroturfing ‘Greens’ Destroy Viable Power Sytems & Pocket Obscene ‘Profits’ at Taxpayers’ Expense
*** Americans have got a long way to go to catch up with South Australians. While there is a well-organised band of eco-fascists pushing America towards a wind powered future, the penetration of wind power in the US is minuscule by comparison with Australia’s so-called “wind powered capital”. South Australians, blessed with the highest power … Continue reading Astroturfing ‘Greens’ Destroy Viable Power Sytems & Pocket Obscene ‘Profits’ at Taxpayers’ Expense
