Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies

The millions of solar panels and hundreds of thousands of turbine blades already ground up in landfills means there’s absolutely nothing ‘renewable’ about wind or solar. The term ‘renewable’ is just another monstrous abuse of the English language perpetrated by a cult that would have us believe the unbelievable by ignoring the bleeding obvious: weather-dependent … Continue reading Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies

Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture

A while back, wind industry spinners reckoned tourists would flock to see a few of these whirling wonders in action, now they’re flocking to their graveyards. Texans now have the opportunity to visit the growing piles of toxic turbine blades and other junk left over after these things give up the ghost. James Morrow and … Continue reading Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture

Crash Course: Industrial Wind Turbines Pose Deadly Threat to Light Aircraft

Industrial wind turbines create at least 2 critical dangers for flyers: 1) wake turbulence; 2) collision with blades and towers. The air turbulence generated by hundreds of 50-60m blades with their outer tips travelling at around 350km/h (wake turbulence) messes with the pilot's ability to control their aircraft (see our post here). Slamming into them, often … Continue reading Crash Course: Industrial Wind Turbines Pose Deadly Threat to Light Aircraft

Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling

If ‘green’ means squandering the world’s resources, then wind and solar fit the bill, but if it’s about ‘saving the planet’, then they’re an almighty fraud. Having operated in this space since December 2012, when it comes to wind and solar industry spin and propaganda, STT has seen it all and heard it all. Wind … Continue reading Dirty Truth About ‘Clean’ Technologies: Or The True Cost of Climate Virtue Signalling

Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals

Giant industrial wind turbines with their 60m blade’s tips clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military has obtained legislation to prevent … Continue reading Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals

Grubby ‘Green’: Sierra Club Pockets $Millions Plugging Environment Wrecking Wind Projects

  The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And when we say money, we mean hundreds of billions of dollars of other people’s money. In Australia alone, the Federal Government’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target will redirect over $60 billion in subsidies to wind and large-scale solar operators (all drawn from … Continue reading Grubby ‘Green’: Sierra Club Pockets $Millions Plugging Environment Wrecking Wind Projects

Weather Wages War on Wind Power: Typhoon Topples Turbine in Japan

How ironic it is that a wholly weather dependent power source has such a bitterly hard time coping with the ... ahem ... weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico last year, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless … Continue reading Weather Wages War on Wind Power: Typhoon Topples Turbine in Japan

‘Green’ Energy’s Double Standards: Real Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar an Inconvenient Truth

Paul Driessen is senior policy analyst for the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (www.CFACT.org), and author of Eco-Imperialism: Green power – Black death and other books on the environment. Here's Paul unpacking the myth that wind and solar are both clean and green. Fair trade for thee, but not for me Watts up With That Paul Driessen … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Double Standards: Real Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar an Inconvenient Truth

Unmitigated Wind Industry Torture: Wind Farm Neighbours Driven to Insanity by Screeching Wind Turbines

What wind farm neighbours have to tolerate is nothing short of criminal: incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound drives neighbours nuts and, where they have the option, out of their homes altogether. The most common adverse health effect caused by wind turbine noise emissions in sleep deprivation, which brings with it a grab bag … Continue reading Unmitigated Wind Industry Torture: Wind Farm Neighbours Driven to Insanity by Screeching Wind Turbines

‘Silly’ Sarah Henderson joins ‘Disappointing’ Dan Tehan, as another ‘Green’ in Conservative Clothing

**** In recent weeks, with the wind industry copping it from all sides, the battle lines have been drawn, with politicians choosing sides. Although, not always the side one might expect. Old guard Labor men - like Gary Johns have rumbled the fraud: The Wind Industry’s “Fossil-Fuel-Free” Fantasy Scotched And the PM, Tony Abbott - … Continue reading ‘Silly’ Sarah Henderson joins ‘Disappointing’ Dan Tehan, as another ‘Green’ in Conservative Clothing
