The damage done by offshore wind farms to fishing grounds is met with practiced contempt by wind power outfits and malign indifference by their political enablers. Taking wind turbines out to sea not only escalates the cost of the occasional power they produce, it destroys coastal landscapes, birds and other marine life. And, as Robert Bradley explains below, spearing thousands of … Continue reading Greenlight For Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Environmental Destruction

Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land
Whether it’s pristine ancient forests or prime agricultural land, wind and solar outfits will destroy it in a heartbeat. If left to the cynical rent-seeking class, there won’t be an inch of the planet worth saving, after they have carpeted it with millions of acres of part-time power producing panels and speared millions of these … Continue reading Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land
Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing
In another you ‘couldn’t make it up’ moment, the wind industry has been busted burning tonnes of diesel to keep turbines spinning in an effort to prevent them freezing solid during cold weather. In Scotland, the ‘fossil fuel’ consumption outbreak involves burning diesel in local generators, which send power into the turbines to keep them … Continue reading Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing
Dumping The ‘Clean’ Energy Mess Right In Your Backyard
The anything inevitable about the so-called wind and solar transition is that people inevitably conclude the whole thing is an environmental and economic fraud. There’s nothing ‘clean’, ‘green’ or even vaguely ‘renewable’ about solar panels and wind turbines. Which are utterly pointless, because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. Solar panel … Continue reading Dumping The ‘Clean’ Energy Mess Right In Your Backyard
Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
The Electric Vehicle crowd are struggling to deflect attention from the disastrous environmental impacts caused by their shiny new Teslas. Wedded to their own virtuous piety, EV owners evidently ignore the hypocrisy that sits at the heart of every EV: a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery, whether it’s used to power an all-EV or as … Continue reading Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
Natural Limits: World’s Mineral Supply Can’t Match Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Demands
The climate cult reckons we’re well on our way to an all-wind and solar-powered future. But with the wind and solar industries’ demand for raw materials - like copper - already outstripping supply, the grand ‘transition’ will soon hit some very natural limits. Inside every giant industrial wind turbine, there’s a bevy of rare minerals which … Continue reading Natural Limits: World’s Mineral Supply Can’t Match Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Demands
Reputation Shredded: Public Perception of Offshore Wind Industry Turns Totally Toxic
There’s a fury burning among America’s Atlantic coastal communities, and it’s all directed at the offshore wind industry. There hasn’t been a subject that has unified and directed anger among these communities like the foreign-owned and government-backed wind power outfits determined to destroy lives and livelihoods of those who depend on the sea. Wiping out … Continue reading Reputation Shredded: Public Perception of Offshore Wind Industry Turns Totally Toxic
Offshore Wind Industry Caught Lying About Toxic Sulfur Hexafluoride Use
The offshore wind industry is desperate to coverup its use of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) - a highly toxic and an extremely potent greenhouse gas. It’s critical as an insulating medium, used in the switchgear housed in the offshore and onshore substations necessary to get DC electricity generated miles offshore, back onshore. Bear in mind that … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Caught Lying About Toxic Sulfur Hexafluoride Use
Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are clear-felling ancient forests, bulldozing whole mountains, stripping the last remnants of fragile vegetation from deserts, killing endangered whales, eagles, bats and more, turning productive farmland into industrial wastelands and are being paid handsomely to do so by the governments you elect. Seems legit, right? As Bonner Cohan outlines below, … Continue reading Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction
What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
The way the wind cult tells it, you’d think these things were made in heaven using moonbeams and fairy dust. The reality is altogether more industrial. Every wind turbine is the product of a myriad of minerals consumed in enormous quantities, along with staggering amounts of energy needed to combine them all into a machine … Continue reading What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
