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
Private Property: Wind & Solar Outfits Have No Right to Destroy Your Community
That hard-working farmers and rural folk reject the ‘opportunity’ to be overrun by giant industrial wind turbines and endless seas of solar panels is no surprise. Why would anyone in their senses welcome the single most destructive force into their communities: subsidised wind and solar. Peaceful, prosperous and productive farming communities worked out long ago … Continue reading Private Property: Wind & Solar Outfits Have No Right to Destroy Your Community
No Go Zones: How The Wind Industry Has Wrecked Rural Communities Everywhere
Abandoning perfectly habitable homes to escape neighbouring industrial wind turbine aggregations is a serious response aimed at avoiding a perpetually miserable future. Being deprived of the opportunity to live, sleep in and otherwise enjoy one’s own home is bad enough. Losing that fundamental proprietary (indeed human) right without compensation is criminal - the perpetrators are … Continue reading No Go Zones: How The Wind Industry Has Wrecked Rural Communities Everywhere
Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Here’s everything you wanted to know about offshore wind power, and it’s all bad. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. Then there’s the mounting and irreparable environmental harm - ecologically destructive and deadly to marine mammals, as well as fishing … Continue reading Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
The land area destroyed to house a couple of wind turbines (often in pristine forests) compares unfavourably with the area needed to house a single nuclear power plant. See above - the area gouged out of one of Queensland’s (previously untouched) tropical rainforests to allow space for just two of these things - huge strips … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: he loves industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and skyscrapers. Ignoring … Continue reading Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise
Try as they might, the offshore wind industry can’t conceal the fact that their construction operations are killing hundreds of whales, dolphins, seals and much, much more. The underwater cacophony created during offshore construction is laid out in Michael Shellenberger’s documentary Thrown To The Wind (see the video below) and this post: US Govt Lying … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise
Aboriginal Communities Unite to Stop These Things Wrecking Precious Animal Habitat
The wind industry’s planet saving methods include trashing pristine tropical rainforest and smashing the critters that once peacefully inhabited those forests, including Australia’s iconic koala. In our recent post - Licenced Exterminators: Government Greenlights Wind Industry’s Mass Koala Kill - we noted the instructions given by a wind farm operator to construction workers in dealing … Continue reading Aboriginal Communities Unite to Stop These Things Wrecking Precious Animal Habitat
Zombie Apocalypse: Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse With More Projects Scrapped
The wind industry is looking a lot like a zombie apocalypse; evidently dead on its feet, but refusing to accept its mortality and die with dignity. The offshore wind industry in the US looks like a bloodbath, with dozens of major projects scrapped outright. Investors have pulled the plug, never to return. In Australia dozens … Continue reading Zombie Apocalypse: Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse With More Projects Scrapped
