Pin your power needs to the weather and expect results to vary. Last summer saw mass load shedding and blackouts across Victoria, South Australia and NSW when spikes in demand combined with collapses in wind and solar output. Demand patterns are as predictable as the delivery in wind and solar are chaotic. That chaos … Continue reading Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses

Monumental Fail: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Work
No industrial economy ever powered itself on wind and solar; no such country ever will. Sunset and calm weather are very real things; whereas grid-scale storage electricity is a myth. As subsidies for wind and solar are drying up, rent-seekers hoping to cash in are running a mile. There has been an almost total collapse … Continue reading Monumental Fail: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Work
Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles – like the critically endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle, but 60m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350Kph routinely smash them out of existence. The current crop of well-fed and poorly educated teens raging against the evil patriarchy and its grand conspiracy to cook the planet and … Continue reading Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Why Wind Turbine Noise Victims Suffer Sleep Deprivation & Worse
The German government got caught destroying data showing residents exposed to dangerous levels of wind turbine infrasound. In the USA, wind farm neighbours are exposed to precisely the same soul-destroying cacophony; a mix of thumping, pulsing (‘amplitude modulated’) low-frequency noise and infrasound. Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Why Wind Turbine Noise Victims Suffer Sleep Deprivation & Worse
Dog Ate My Data: Ontario’s Government Buries Wind Farm Neighbours Noise Complaints
The wind industry started carpeting Ontario with wind turbines a decade ago. Ever since, neighbours have been complaining about the incessant and grinding cacophony of low-frequency noise and infrasound these things generate. The only thing more consistent and persistent than the neighbours’ noise complaints, is the Ontario government’s practised contempt for the wind industry’s noise … Continue reading Dog Ate My Data: Ontario’s Government Buries Wind Farm Neighbours Noise Complaints
Court Out: Noise Affected Neighbours Pursue Class Action Against Lying Wind Developers
Wind developers face liability in the millions for the nuisance caused by unrelenting, turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Litigation is where the rubber hits the road: myths get replaced with facts; evidence overtakes spin and propaganda. Court rooms (and where they determine the facts, juries) strike fear into the (ordinarily icy) hearts of those … Continue reading Court Out: Noise Affected Neighbours Pursue Class Action Against Lying Wind Developers
Scallopers Scuttled: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Scotland’s Fishing Industry
Britain’s trawlermen are tough, but not invincible. Giant industrial wind turbines and their associated infrastructure have wrecked once productive fishing grounds, including the scallop beds of the Moray Firth. Dodging turbines in rough seas is bad enough: Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen But having nets and fishing gear … Continue reading Scallopers Scuttled: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Scotland’s Fishing Industry
Bound to Gag: Sierra Club Buries Evidence of Health Effects Caused by Wind Turbine Noise
The wind cult is a broad church, attracting all manner of unhinged zealots, including acolytes of so-called ‘green’ groups like the Sierra Club. Pretending to care about the environment, while pocketing millions in ‘donations’ from renewable energy rent seekers, hypocrisy is their stock in trade. Peddling the mantra that the only manner of preventing imminent … Continue reading Bound to Gag: Sierra Club Buries Evidence of Health Effects Caused by Wind Turbine Noise
Colossal Collapse: Wind & Solar Investment Plummets as Subsidies Subside
In the absence of endless subsidies, the wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat, which is precisely how things are panning out for renewable rent seekers in Australia. The idea that there is a natural market for electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed, is pure nonsense: hence the massive … Continue reading Colossal Collapse: Wind & Solar Investment Plummets as Subsidies Subside
Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Lamenting their rocketing power bills and dreading mass blackouts this coming summer, Australians can be forgiven for their sense of despair. Australians once enjoyed the world’s cheapest power, reliably delivered, just like running water. No one talked about their power bills at backyard barbecues, or kept promising themselves that must have diesel generator to keep … Continue reading Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
