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.

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
Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power

But, as with everything that the wind industry does, if you can’t keep a straight face while lying about it any more, then pull … Continue reading Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
‘Green’ Hypocrites Want Industrial Wind Turbines in YOUR Backyard, But Never in Theirs
The green is always ready to spear hundreds of giant 240m (787ft) industrial wind turbines - into your backyard, but goes nuts if the ‘favour’ might be returned. Destroying your patch of paradise is a sacrifice that he is always willing to make. When former Greens leader, Dr Bob Brown started railing about the prospect … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hypocrites Want Industrial Wind Turbines in YOUR Backyard, But Never in Theirs
