‘Offshore’ means out of sight and out of mind, when it comes to the environmental destruction these things cause. No one sees the countless numbers of seabirds wiped out of existence by 60-70m blades with their outer tips doing over 350 km an hour. No one sees the destruction of undersea ecosystems, the seabed ripped … Continue reading Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment

Green Hypocrites: Ancient Rainforests Being Stripped To Make Way For Hundreds of Wind Turbines
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk The wind industry is the Grand Master of green hypocrisy; leaving a wake of environmental destruction, wherever it plies its subsidy-soaked trade. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they … Continue reading Green Hypocrites: Ancient Rainforests Being Stripped To Make Way For Hundreds of Wind Turbines
‘Renewables’ Reality Check: Exposing Filthy Truth About Our Wind & Solar Powered ‘Nirvana’
Pull the curtain back on the wind and solar ‘industries’ and you’re in for a filthy and even toxic surprise. Do a little digging, so to speak, and you’ll soon understand that there is absolutely nothing ‘green’ about wind and solar power or, more precisely, what goes into making 300 tonne wind turbines and their … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Reality Check: Exposing Filthy Truth About Our Wind & Solar Powered ‘Nirvana’
Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine Blades
For a taste of your wind 'powered' future, look no further than the Scottish Highlands - where some 4,500 of these things have polluted a once majestic landscape. Traverse any Highland Glen these days in the hope of finding peace and tranquillity, and you’ll be hard-pressed to avoid Scotland’s hundreds of wind factories and their … Continue reading Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine Blades
Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Wistful children playing in flowery fields beneath fleets of whirling wonders is how the wind industry sells itself. The reality ain’t so pretty. Embedded in every 300 tonne juggernaut is a bevy of minerals and a mountain of energy used to create the feelgood fiction that the kiddies are safely frolicking beneath a truly useful … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Unwelcome ‘Treat’: Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Already Headed For A Landfill Near You
Solar panels were meant to be all sunshine and lollipops, with nothing but tingly virtuous feelings for their subsidised owners. With an effective economic lifespan of little more than a decade - after 12 years in service their output is nothing like their original capacity and at the 15-year mark, it becomes a pointless fraction, … Continue reading Unwelcome ‘Treat’: Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Already Headed For A Landfill Near You
No Upside: Wind Developers Pull Plug On Massive Offshore Projects Deemed ‘Uneconomic’
Some of America’s biggest planned offshore wind projects have recently been axed, with more to follow. Deemed ‘uneconomic’, potential investors and financiers are running a mile from what portend to be enormous white elephants. Where the true cost of onshore wind power is phenomenal, the cost of the offshore stuff is astronomical. Going offshore brings … Continue reading No Upside: Wind Developers Pull Plug On Massive Offshore Projects Deemed ‘Uneconomic’
‘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
