It’s 2020 and, if you believe the hype, we’re well on our way to an all wind and sun powered future. Except that - notwithstanding $trillions in subsidies, punitive mandates and punishing targets - the contribution of wind and solar to world energy demand remains risible. And - not simply because it’s fun to rain … Continue reading Risible Renewables: World Finally Waking Up To Wind & Solar’s Nightmare of Nonsense

Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species
Following the cancellation of 758 wind projects in Ontario, its government has further delighted locals with the decision to revoke approval for the (almost complete) Nations Rise project, at North Stormont, near Ottawa. This time the decision announced by Jeff Yurek, Ontario’s Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks, was not one based purely on the … Continue reading Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species
Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
The silence from traditional conservation groups against the wind industry’s rampant bird slaughter is deafening. Once upon a time, hirsute, hair-shirted and sandal wearing tree huggers would die in a ditch to prevent harm to any of God’s other creatures. That was, of course, before industrial wind power hove into view. Groups like the Sierra … Continue reading Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Wiping out entire forest habitats is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition to a wind powered future. Across Germany, millions of acres of forest have been clear-felled and great swathes cut through others, to allow some 29,000 of these things to be speared across Deutschland. The same is happening in the Green Mountain State, … Continue reading Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats

Irish Government Slammed with €5m Fine Over Wind Farm’s Environmental Disaster
Getting into bed with wind developers is never going to end well. For its troubles, the Irish government has just been whacked with a €5m fine for failing to enforce its own environmental standards at a wind farm near Derrybrien, County Galway. During construction, the developer managed to wipeout half a mountain, sending a sea … Continue reading Irish Government Slammed with €5m Fine Over Wind Farm’s Environmental Disaster
Filthy Future: Millions of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades To Be Shredded & Sent to Landfills
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 run on wind, they run on subsidies: cut the subsidies and once these things inevitably grind to a halt, they’ll never be replaced. … Continue reading Filthy Future: Millions of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades To Be Shredded & Sent to Landfills
Deadly Dawn: ‘Transition’ to Wind Powered Future Means Wholesale Bird & Bat Slaughter
The wind cult works overtime to avoid the bloody reality that their beloveds are responsible for millions of bird and bat deaths, every year. Lying, dissembling and attempting to bury the evidence is just the start. There follows a game of moral equivalence, asserting that more bats and birds are clobbered by cars, cats and … Continue reading Deadly Dawn: ‘Transition’ to Wind Powered Future Means Wholesale Bird & Bat Slaughter
Real Extinction Rebellion: Environmentalists Furious as Wind Industry Slash & Burn Entire Forests
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
