‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics

Sure, the millions of wind turbine blades headed for landfill will leave a toxic legacy for centuries to come, but these things create an even more immediate threat. Their 40-90m blades naturally erode during operation, spreading tonnes of microplastics far and wide. The epoxy compounds they shed contain toxins that are finding their way into … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics

Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power

Spreading millions of solar panels and spearing thousands of wind turbines far and wide doesn’t make sense, at any level. Intermittent and diffuse energy sources do not represent progress in the state of human affairs; that was the way of the world pre-Industrial Revolution - science, enterprise and engineering made all that a part of … Continue reading Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power

Just Another Billionaire Hypocrite: Australia’s Twiggy Forrest Committed Andean Condor Killer

Blowhard billionaires eager to squander taxpayer’s money are a dime a dozen, hypocrites like Australia’s Twiggy Forrest, who made his $billions from digging up large parts of Western Australia and selling it to the Chinese, among others. Buoyed by record iron ore prices and rising demand, his ambitions have turned to the renewable energy scam, … Continue reading Just Another Billionaire Hypocrite: Australia’s Twiggy Forrest Committed Andean Condor Killer

‘Green’ Fraud: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring The Planet’s Scarce Resources

Rent-seekers and the MSM keep telling us the transition to an all-wind and sun-powered future is not only inevitable, it's a cinch. The power pricing and supply calamity playing out in renewables-obsessed Germany and Britain stands as a pretty fair counterpoint, to that nonsense. Then, we’re told, it can all be done, provided it's “done … Continue reading ‘Green’ Fraud: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring The Planet’s Scarce Resources

No New Green Deal: Nothing Environmentally Friendly About Wind & Solar

Cultists couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction that both wind and solar leave in their wake, merrily ignoring the thousands of wind turbine blades and millions solar panels already being dumped in landfills. Apparently, their mountainous toxic waste legacy will be something for future generations to deal with. The same characters vilify fossil fuels … Continue reading No New Green Deal: Nothing Environmentally Friendly About Wind & Solar

State Sanctioned Slaughter: Wind Farm Operator Gets Licence to Kill Rare & Endangered Bats

The wind power cult have no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste lands in China (where the rare earths essential to wind turbines are processed); crushing power prices that punish the poorest and most vulnerable in society; and barely shrug at the slaughter … Continue reading State Sanctioned Slaughter: Wind Farm Operator Gets Licence to Kill Rare & Endangered Bats

Electric Dreams: Why We Can Never Run Exclusively On Wind & Solar Power

The next ‘big thing’ is an all-electric world, where power caressed from sunshine and breezes will provide all the energy, we ever need, for everything we ever do. Given the tag ‘electrification’, it sounds like another simple wheeze that only requires an open mind and a little goodwill. Well, like the grand wind and solar … Continue reading Electric Dreams: Why We Can Never Run Exclusively On Wind & Solar Power

No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout

If the wind industry gets its way, it’s curtains for the already endangered Atlantic Right Whale. Taking giant industrial wind turbines offshore threatens whales of all shapes and sizes, including the Atlantic Right Whale. Whales already have plenty of offshore industrial activity to contend with. However, where oil and gas extraction, international shipping, and commercial … Continue reading No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout

Californian Covers Water Supply Channels With Solar Panels – Laden With Toxic Gunk

Solar panels are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. Ground up and dumped in their millions into landfills, it’s not difficult to imagine the effect on water supplies, the environment and human health as their poisonous entrails leach into the water table over the coming … Continue reading Californian Covers Water Supply Channels With Solar Panels – Laden With Toxic Gunk

Planet Strippers: Amazon’s Balsa Forests Being Raped To Make Wind Turbine Blades

Stripping the Amazon basin’s forests of balsa to make wind turbine blade is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition. So is turning rural China into a toxic industrial wasteland (see above). Giant industrial wind turbines comprise hundreds of tonnes of steel, aluminium, plastics, copper and rare earths used in the generator’s magnets. There is also … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Amazon’s Balsa Forests Being Raped To Make Wind Turbine Blades
