As we are continually reminded, CO2 emissions from fossil-fuelled power generators are all set to incinerate the planet. $Trillions in subsidies have been literally thrown to the sun and the wind, purportedly to kill coal, for good. To all but the most deluded, it’s fairly apparent that utterly weather dependent wind and solar will never … Continue reading Germany Squanders $Trillions on Subsidised Wind & Solar But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge

Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Myth Busted: Landscapes Trashed, Countless Birds & Bats Slaughtered
Wind and sun worshipping eco-zealots don’t hold a monopoly on hypocrisy, but come very close. As nasty as they are sanctimonious, the more active and vociferous members of the wind 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 … Continue reading Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Myth Busted: Landscapes Trashed, Countless Birds & Bats Slaughtered
Australian Court Finds Wind Turbine Noise Exposure a ‘Pathway to Disease’: Waubra Foundation Vindicated
In a World first, Australia’s Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) has declared that the “noise annoyance” caused by wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound “is a plausible pathway to disease” based on the “established association between noise annoyance and some diseases, including hypertension and cardiovascular disease, possibly mediated in part by disturbed sleep and/or psychological … Continue reading Australian Court Finds Wind Turbine Noise Exposure a ‘Pathway to Disease’: Waubra Foundation Vindicated

Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Claims that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years are a proven nonsense. What wind worshippers tend to forget is that these things have a useful (that is to say ‘economic’) lifespan of around 12 years. Subsidies are what built them. Subsidies are what run them. So, … Continue reading Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Minnesota Throws $Billions at Wind Power: But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
'Green' energy fails every test Watts Up with That? John Hinderacker 18 October 2017 The sad story of Minnesota’s green energy failure is one that no doubt is being replicated around the country.

Why Wind Power is the Greatest Economic & Environmental Fraud in History
When called upon the think of certainties, gravity springs to mind (at least on earth). Although, for the wind industry it does tend to deliver harsh results - see above, yet another fatal collapse, this time in Lincoln, Nebraska. Another certainty, is that once people tackle the facts, they turn against wind power with a … Continue reading Why Wind Power is the Greatest Economic & Environmental Fraud in History
Wisconsin’s Wind Industry Called to Account for Its Victim’s Wholly Unnecessary Suffering
Where a power generation source is of a kind abandoned centuries ago, for pretty obvious reasons – namely, its proven inability to deliver power as and when it’s needed; and which exists, and only exists, by reason of mandates, subsidies, fines and targets, the harm and suffering it causes is wholly unnecessary. Those that continue … Continue reading Wisconsin’s Wind Industry Called to Account for Its Victim’s Wholly Unnecessary Suffering
Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless
Oh, the irony. In one breath we're told that the climate is changing so rapidly - although, these days, most climate alarmists don’t seem prepared to lay a bet on whether things are getting hotter or colder - that carpeting the world in wind turbines and solar panels - which cultists believe will solve the … Continue reading Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless
