The wind industry was built on lies and myth and runs on subsidies. So, if you’re looking for a straight answer, don’t bother quizzing a wind farm operator. Sure, the usual corporate PR spin can be expected from any commercial outfit. But, as David Collins is quickly learning, if you’re trying to elicit information from … Continue reading Danes Dissemble: Offshore Wind Farm Operator Covers Up Cause of Long-Term Shut Down

Transmission Break: Frequently Faulty Cables Costing Offshore Wind Power Generators Hundreds of $Millions
Turns out offshore wind power is more financial heartbreak than cash cow. Thanks to the phenomenal cost of repairing its undersea cables, Denmark’s Orsted is literally bleeding cash. The cost of fixing faulty cables connecting their turbines to each other and transmission facilities onshore is already in the hundreds of $millions, and set to rise … Continue reading Transmission Break: Frequently Faulty Cables Costing Offshore Wind Power Generators Hundreds of $Millions
Offshore Wind Power All at Sea: Danish Wind Farm Operator Suffers Massive Financial Losses
Apart from literally burning cash, there is no faster way to squander money than by piling it into an offshore wind power project. It’s hardly news that the true cost of generating electricity using wind power is staggering; the cost of doing so offshore is astronomical. Instead of producing ‘free’ energy with purportedly ‘endless’ sea breezes, offshore … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power All at Sea: Danish Wind Farm Operator Suffers Massive Financial Losses
Starry-Eyed Dreams v Economic Reality: Why The Wind Industry’s Numbers Can Never Stack Up
Take away the massive subsidies, guaranteed fixed price contracts, soft loans, mandated targets, etc and the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat. Those matters, all the product of meddling governments, are the only reason we are having this discussion, at all. After 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies - redirected … Continue reading Starry-Eyed Dreams v Economic Reality: Why The Wind Industry’s Numbers Can Never Stack Up
French Devolution: China Embraces Reliable & Affordable Nuclear as France Lets It Slide
Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Whereas, France’s heavy reliance on reliable and affordable nuclear means that the French enjoy power prices a mere fraction of those suffered … Continue reading French Devolution: China Embraces Reliable & Affordable Nuclear as France Lets It Slide
Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers
It’s an unassailable fact: add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and power prices skyrocket. South Australians, Danes and Germans fight for line honours over which of their proletariat suffers the world’s highest power prices. As to the Australian states hooked up to the Eastern Grid, Dr Michael Crawford’s simple … Continue reading Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers
If Wind and Sunshine are Free, Why Is It That Wind & Solar Power Are So Expensive?
Facts tend to flummox renewable energy zealots, especially the way adding wind and solar sends power prices into orbit (see above). After all, they keep telling us that the wind and sun are absolutely free, and getting cheaper all the time. Here’s America’s top green, Michael Shellenberger taking an axe to another RE furphy. A … Continue reading If Wind and Sunshine are Free, Why Is It That Wind & Solar Power Are So Expensive?
Mass Blade Fail Means Early ‘Retirement’ for Hundreds of Danish Wind Turbines
Among the lies pedalled by the wind industry is that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for more than 25 years. The pitch is made to beguile the gullible (read, ‘planning authorities’, ‘politicians’, ‘bankers’ and ‘investors’) into believing that their operating costs can be covered out of petty … Continue reading Mass Blade Fail Means Early ‘Retirement’ for Hundreds of Danish Wind Turbines
Denmark’s Wind Farm Revolt: Danes Demand & Get Ban on New Wind Turbines
Denmark is the home of the original eco-fascist profiteers – Vestas – the struggling turbine maker – run by by a band of crooks – once exhorted the world to “Act on (its parallel universe version of the) Facts”: paying $millions to the Australian Greens and Trotskyite fronts like Getup! & Co – pitching lies … Continue reading Denmark’s Wind Farm Revolt: Danes Demand & Get Ban on New Wind Turbines
Lessons from Denmark: Danes Slash Wind Power Subsidies to Salvage Economy
The wind industry is mounted on myth and fuelled by fantasy. In Australia, its parasites and spruikers must believe that we are still cut off from the known world (suffering from what was referred to as the “tyranny of distance”) when they peddle stories about Europeans still being wedded to wind power. On that score, … Continue reading Lessons from Denmark: Danes Slash Wind Power Subsidies to Salvage Economy
