Bats and onshore wind turbines…a fatal attraction Energy Voice Jeremy Cresswell 5 August 2016 Concern over bats being killed by onshore wind turbines has been growing for several years and that worry has just been further reinforced by research in Germany. Wind turbines attract bats, apparently, or at least one species. They seem to appear particularly appealing … Continue reading Bats’ Fatal Attraction to Wind Turbines

Wind & Solar Power 2.5 to 5 Times More Expensive than Coal & Nuclear
Power costs matter. The wind industry keeps telling us that their product is 'free', and getting cheaper all the time. Trouble is, that the facts tend to differ. In the table above, in nuclear powered France, power consumers pay half the cost for power than those suffering along in wind powered Denmark. Maybe it's got … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power 2.5 to 5 Times More Expensive than Coal & Nuclear
Poland Bans Wind Power & Orders a Double Helping of Coal to Keep the Lights On
Over-run by these things, faced with thousand of furious neighbours demanding an end to the onslaught, and spiralling power costs, Poland has mounted an enormous about face: where wind power was the flavour of the month for a year or two, it’s been hit with an outright ban. Worse still for Polish wind-worshippers, their government, faced … Continue reading Poland Bans Wind Power & Orders a Double Helping of Coal to Keep the Lights On
WHO Investigates Health Effects of Wind Turbine Noise & Infrasound
Wind Warning to World Health Organization-Europe (turbine health effects in the crosshairs) Master Resource Sherri Lange 19 July 2016 “We are hopeful that your deliberations will result in tough new European guidelines which in turn will prompt a serious worldwide examination of all aspects of this problem, including the widely-reported effects on animals.” – Dr. … Continue reading WHO Investigates Health Effects of Wind Turbine Noise & Infrasound
Base-Load Matters: America Waking Up to its Wind Power Fantasy
For a populous detached from the realities of power generation (or similarly detached from reality, in general) the concept of running on 'free' breezes and sunbeams has an almost natural attraction. In much the same way that infants fixate on the colourful, the shiny and the new. But, most infants tend to eventually grow up: … Continue reading Base-Load Matters: America Waking Up to its Wind Power Fantasy
Bulk Battery Storage of Wind Power a Myth
In the fall-out over South Australia's wind powered economic and social calamity, the line has been repeatedly spun about fixing the mess with 'rapidly improving battery storage technology'. It is little more than a 'smoke and mirrors' pitch by the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers, designed to deflect attention from the fact that wind … Continue reading Bulk Battery Storage of Wind Power a Myth
South Australian Debacle Shows Wind Power a ‘Proven Failure’
It took the wind power disaster to unfold in South Australia before mainstream media started to notice the bleeding obvious: these things don't work - on any level. Slowly, but surely the press have pounced - attacking the causes and consequences of pouring $billions in subsidies at a power generation system which can only be … Continue reading South Australian Debacle Shows Wind Power a ‘Proven Failure’
Wind Industry’s Deathknell: Wind Power Shortfall Means Power Consumers Will be Forced to Pay $20 Billion in Fines
*** While the short-term fortunes wind power outfits have never looked brighter, the fact that the price of RECs (aka LGCs) has recently gone through the roof is a signal that the game is all but up. Before we detail why the wind industry is on its last legs, we’ll start with a couple of … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Deathknell: Wind Power Shortfall Means Power Consumers Will be Forced to Pay $20 Billion in Fines
Enron Rides Again: Wind Power Chaos Enables Rampant Price Gouging by Conventional Generators
South Australia’s ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes has rendered it an international laughing stock. Daily, routine, total and totally unpredictable collapses in wind power output result in price gouging efforts that see the spot price for power rocket from around $70 per MWh to $2,000 to $4,000 per MWh, in a matter … Continue reading Enron Rides Again: Wind Power Chaos Enables Rampant Price Gouging by Conventional Generators
Wind Industry Claims Another Ag-Pilot: Minnesota Crop-Duster Killed in Action
Is there anything to say in favour of these things? Not only insanely expensive and utterly pointless at every level, they pose a mortal danger to both man and beast. In the 20 years or so since they’ve spun into heavily subsidised ‘action’, the wind industry’s has managed to clock up a fairly sizeable death … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims Another Ag-Pilot: Minnesota Crop-Duster Killed in Action
