Crony capitalists come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their political enablers. The whole point of patronage, networking and gladhanding is obtaining benefits not available to anyone else. The only people that complain about a rort are those that aren’t in on it. The Climate Industrial Complex was built on will the back … Continue reading Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex

Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More
With thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises washing up in areas given over to offshore wind turbines, the wind industry is having a hard time covering up its responsibility for the cetacean carnage. The relationship between offshore wind turbine construction noise and marine mammal fatalities is now incontrovertible: Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by … Continue reading Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More
Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse
Europe’s wind and solar industries are on the ropes, thanks to the sudden embrace of ever-reliable nuclear power across the Continent. Producing machines that can never produce power on demand was always going to end in tears. But moves to amp up construction of nuclear power plants - initiated by the French and followed by … Continue reading Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse
Taxpayers Robbed Again: Offshore Wind Industry Gets More Massive Subsidies
Already the most heavily subsidised ‘industry’ on earth, the wind industry is in need of much more of the same. This time, as Dr John Constable explains below, it’s about politics. [Note to Ed: the renewables scam has always and everywhere been about pure politics] Apparently, wind power outfits have been choosing turbines, associated kit … Continue reading Taxpayers Robbed Again: Offshore Wind Industry Gets More Massive Subsidies
Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
The wind industry never lets facts shake the entrenched delusion that wind power is cheap and always available. One of the more troublesome facts relates to cost. Whereas the true and total cost of onshore wind power is merely exorbitant, taking these things kilometres offshore means the true cost of (occasionally) generating electricity is off … Continue reading Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
Britain’s Solar ‘Industry’ Outraged About Brewing Farmland Panel Ban
Delivering electricity less than 25% of the time, without massive subsidies we wouldn’t even be talking about solar power. By far and away the most expensive way of electricity generation there is - and utterly useless from sunset to sunrise - there is no argument in favour of connecting solar panels to an integrated power … Continue reading Britain’s Solar ‘Industry’ Outraged About Brewing Farmland Panel Ban
Purely Ideological: No Hope of Ever Satisfying Net-Zero CO2 Targets With Wind & Solar
The wind and solar transition is just like every other grand 5-year-plan dreamt up by socialists, except the fact that crony capitalists are loving every minute of it. Ambitious (and ludicrous) wind and solar generation targets have given way to even more ambitious (and completely ludicrous) net-zero carbon oxide gas targets. Neither have a hope … Continue reading Purely Ideological: No Hope of Ever Satisfying Net-Zero CO2 Targets With Wind & Solar
Countries With Most Wind & Solar Generation Suffer World’s Highest Power Prices
As night follows day, adding more wind and solar capacity inevitably results in rocketing power prices. The hard numbers say it all. China enjoys the world’s lowest power prices, thanks to cheap, abundant and reliable coal-fired power. Adding to their advantage, China is building dozens of new coal-fired and nuclear powered plants. It’s almost as … Continue reading Countries With Most Wind & Solar Generation Suffer World’s Highest Power Prices
Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year
Every single job in Britain’s wind and solar industry is costing taxpayers £250,000 every year, ad infinitum. Currently that figure converts to AU$482,000 or US$310,000, which is hardly chump change for a feel good job creation scheme. And the fact that taxpayers will be forking out that kind of cash for every so-called ‘green job’ … Continue reading Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year
Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Access to reliable and affordable power is just another thing Westerners have taken for granted, for far too long. A band of weather-obsessed ideologues have set about methodically destroying our once perfectly affordable and thoroughly reliable power supplies, by propounding the delusional notion that wind and solar can replace that well-designed system which has powered … Continue reading Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
