Renewable energy rent seekers have turned the ‘it’s a climate catastrophe’ dial all the way to 11 in an effort to convince us that our only salvation is an all sun and wind powered future. At the top end of town where bank executives and institutional investors roam, the propaganda is directed at convincing ‘the … Continue reading Long Road to Run: Fossil Fuels Powering the Planet Now & For Generations To Come

Money For Jam: Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar The Greatest Subsidy Scam In History
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies, myths and propaganda and run on subsidies. As wind power ‘investor’ Warren Buffett put it: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Buffett might … Continue reading Money For Jam: Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar The Greatest Subsidy Scam In History
Ever-Dependable: Coal-Fired Power Keeps On Keeping On During Australia’s Bushfire Battle
Of the more delusional claims made by wind power proponents, the notion that wind power is more dependable and reliable than coal-fired power, takes the cake. Back in December, Victoria’s Premier, Daniel Andrews revealed his tenuous grip on reality when he made the very same assertion: Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar … Continue reading Ever-Dependable: Coal-Fired Power Keeps On Keeping On During Australia’s Bushfire Battle
Toxic Shock: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Leave Poisoned Landfill Legacy For Generations To Come
Troubled teenagers demanding an all wind and sun powered future are setting themselves up for an almighty toxic shock, with hundreds of millions of wind turbine blades destined for landfill. As Steve St. Angelo reports from the USA, wind turbine blades are non-recyclable due to the fact that they are a complex composite of highly … Continue reading Toxic Shock: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Leave Poisoned Landfill Legacy For Generations To Come
Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Courts that aren’t biased in favour of the wind industry are rare birds, indeed. Slowly but surely, however, the law is catching up with the scope and scale of the environmental and societal harm caused whenever these things get speared into rural communities, farmland and forests. Ireland is no exception. The Emerald Isle has been … Continue reading Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Once upon a time, electricity had a value defined by demand, not by the weather. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has absolutely no commercial value. Which brings us to weather-dependent wind power; generated in chaotic, random intervals, it’s a case of either feast or famine. But businesses and households don’t … Continue reading Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar means not only spiralling retail power prices, but guarantees widespread load shedding (aka “demand management”) and blackouts (‘demand mismanagement’), whenever demand peaks and wind and solar output collapses around sunset and calm weather. The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And … Continue reading Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
There’s something altogether cynical about well-healed nations forcing the impoverished to embrace expensive and unreliable wind and solar. It is, of course, all done in the name of ‘saving the planet’. [Note to Ed: Not to mention saving the manufacturers of industrial wind turbines and solar panels, who are struggling back home]. As any economist … Continue reading Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
Australia’s Energy Crisis: High Time For Government to Grow Up and Back Nuclear Powered Future
You’ve probably reached peak stupid when a troubled teenage girl gets to berate adults about global economic and energy policy, and a purportedly educated class sit awestruck, applauding in earnest. Greta the Fretter was front and centre in the (predictable) climate cult hysteria about the bushfires that have swept Australia this summer. Amongst renewable … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: High Time For Government to Grow Up and Back Nuclear Powered Future
Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke
Around the world, pliant governments allowed the wind industry to create utterly meaningless wind turbine noise ‘rules’ that allow wind power outfits to get away with murder. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a merciless, thumping, grinding cacophony of daily torment to families forced to live next to them. And if you think pocketing cash in … Continue reading Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke
