In Germany, real environmentalists are mounting a well-drilled revolt against the destruction of forests – the natural habitat of apex predators, like the endangered Red Kite. Environmentalists are also furious at the fact that Kites, Eagles and dozens of threatened bat species are being sliced and diced with impunity across Europe. Rural residents, driven mad … Continue reading Real Extinction Rebellion: Environmentalists Furious as Wind Industry Slash & Burn Entire Forests

Monumental Fail: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Work
No industrial economy ever powered itself on wind and solar; no such country ever will. Sunset and calm weather are very real things; whereas grid-scale storage electricity is a myth. As subsidies for wind and solar are drying up, rent-seekers hoping to cash in are running a mile. There has been an almost total collapse … Continue reading Monumental Fail: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Work
Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles – like the critically endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle, but 60m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350Kph routinely smash them out of existence. The current crop of well-fed and poorly educated teens raging against the evil patriarchy and its grand conspiracy to cook the planet and … Continue reading Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
Hometown Hellraisers: Self-Incinerating Wind Turbines Prove Perfect Wildfire-Starters
An out-of-control wildfire is a terrifying experience. Self-incinerating wind turbines have joined arsonists and lightning strikes as the cause of that terror. Whereas lightning is an unavoidable natural occurrence and arsonists live in fear of being caught and punished, the wind power outfits that spear giant industrial wind turbines into rural tinderboxes have no qualms … Continue reading Hometown Hellraisers: Self-Incinerating Wind Turbines Prove Perfect Wildfire-Starters
Scallopers Scuttled: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Scotland’s Fishing Industry
Britain’s trawlermen are tough, but not invincible. Giant industrial wind turbines and their associated infrastructure have wrecked once productive fishing grounds, including the scallop beds of the Moray Firth. Dodging turbines in rough seas is bad enough: Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen But having nets and fishing gear … Continue reading Scallopers Scuttled: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Scotland’s Fishing Industry
The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet
The prospect of a 100% renewable energy future is 100% pure, unadulterated myth. Placard waving teens fretting about the weather in 30 years’ time might demand it, but logic, physics, meteorology and economics will forever conspire against an all wind and sun powered future. And the idea that a transition to wind and solar is … Continue reading The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet
‘Green’ Energy’s Toxic Legacy: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills
Environmentalists have tumbled to the fact that wind power is anything but the ‘clean, green’ energy source its proponents claim it to be. While the wind industry works overtime to bury a range of inconvenient facts, it's actually burying millions of tons of toxic waste, among a list of other environmental sins. Wind turbines don’t … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Toxic Legacy: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills
Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’
Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear overnight. Warren Buffett put it best: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Precisely!! Wind power makes absolutely no sense at any level: environmental, social or … Continue reading Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’
All Fired Up: Texan Wildfire Sparked by Self-Incinerating Wind Turbine
The number of wildfires sparked by these things grows by the day. Contrary to their ‘super-safe’, ‘clean’, ‘green’ image, giant industrial wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal and over … Continue reading All Fired Up: Texan Wildfire Sparked by Self-Incinerating Wind Turbine
No More Mr Nice Guy: It’s Past Time to Flip the Bird at Wind Turbines
The wind industry has been stealing from us for almost 30 years now. $Trillions in subsidies and all we’ve got to show for it are rocketing power prices, pristine landscapes turned to industrial wastelands, wrecked rural communities and bird and bat carnage. Even former Greens leader, Bob Brown spat the dummy recently over plans to … Continue reading No More Mr Nice Guy: It’s Past Time to Flip the Bird at Wind Turbines
