Using other people’s to offload personal guilt is hardly virtuous, but the wind and solar scam has attracted plenty of guilt-laden oligarchs looking to atone for their (often obscene) wealth doing just that - and using taxpayer-backed subsidies to conjure up all manner of new ‘green’ scams, like ‘green’ hydrogen. Australia’s Twiggy Forrest, is just … Continue reading Woke-Washing Hypocrites Demand Endless Taxpayer Subsidies For ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam

Zero Sum Game: Industrial Wind & Solar Destroying the Environment to ‘Save the Planet’
Environmentalists were once known as ‘tree huggers’. Now, a new ‘green’ cult clear-fells them to make way for hundreds of wind turbines or seas of solar panels. Germany’s Black Forest has been overrun, with chainsaws, bulldozers and blazing torches paving the way for our so-called ‘green’ energy transition. And hundreds of ancient oaks in its thousand-year-old Fairytale … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Industrial Wind & Solar Destroying the Environment to ‘Save the Planet’
US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
The US government has granted America’s offshore wind industry a sweeping licence to destroy thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and more - while permanently trashing critical marine environments in the process. The damage done starts with seismic surveys carried out pre-construction and continues as hundreds of 240m high turbines are punched into the seabed … Continue reading US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
On any reckoning, wind power is an abject failure. Dilute and diffuse, chaotically intermittent, insanely costly (when backup costs are included) and a wholesale environmental disaster, wiping out millions of birds, bats and beneficial bugs, and wrecking the livability the rural communities, nothing stacks up apart from the massive and endless subsidies upon which the … Continue reading Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy
Logic and reason don’t register with the wind and sun cult, nor does empathy or compassion. Happy to wreck your community by carpeting it with an endless sea of solar panels and spearing hundreds of bird-munching monsters into your backyard, it’s all care and no responsibility for these characters. Overlooking the real environmental destruction caused … Continue reading No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy
‘Green’ Energy Slaughter: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Puffins, Gulls, Gannets & More
The bird carcasses soon pile up wherever the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade. When it comes to wholesale avian slaughter, the offshore industry sets the benchmark. Offshore wind is already meting out a phenomenal death toll on a whole range of seabirds in the waters surrounding Britain and across the North Sea. Puffins are … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Slaughter: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Puffins, Gulls, Gannets & More
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy
The grand wind and solar scam was designed so a few get to profit outrageously at the expense of the many - and they’re called ‘rent seekers’ for good reason: Rent-seeking is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity. An example of rent-seeking is … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy
Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Our power grids were working just fine, until unreliable, intermittent and diffuse wind and solar turned up. Insanely costly in any event, now we’re told that our ‘inevitable transition’ will cost $trillions more, with the additional cost that comes with hooking up thousands more wind turbines and millions more solar panels, spread far and wide. … Continue reading Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Industrial scale wind and solar are world leaders when it comes to wrecking communities and destroying the environment. Heavily subsidized, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human … Continue reading Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching
Wind power outfits once ran a line about wind farms providing new and exciting tourist opportunities. Inquisitive folk would pack the kids into the Prius and head into the country, so they could get up close and personal to a few of these whirling wonders, drawn in by their purportedly majestic awe and left feeling … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching
