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
Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
The cult demonises coal for the CO2 it releases, but without a hint of irony reckons that the CO2 released from wood is a completely different molecule. Adding the term ‘biomass’ to the millions of tonnes of timber stripped from the forests of the northern hemisphere apparently makes all the difference. Whereas the term ‘dirty’ … Continue reading Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
Real ‘Green’ Energy: Germany Bulldozes Ancient Fairytale Forest For Wind Turbines
If the wilderness being turned into smouldering ash is used as a platform for hundreds of 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, it’s all for the greater good (as in the case above, where huge areas of pristine tropical rainforest is being wiped out in Far North Queensland to make way for hundreds of these things). … Continue reading Real ‘Green’ Energy: Germany Bulldozes Ancient Fairytale Forest For Wind Turbines
Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland
Australia’s prime agricultural land is being carpeted with endless seas of solar panels and thousands of these things are being speared everywhere the panels can’t go. Dilute and diffuse, wind and solar require a staggering amount of space, and way more than their occasional, weather (and/or sunshine) dependent power generation can ever hope to justify. … Continue reading Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland
Sick Joke: Nothing ‘Green’ About California’s All Electric Vehicle Mandates
There’s nothing wrong in theory about all-Electric Vehicles. But, if they really were a sensible substitute for petrol or diesel-powered vehicles, they’d already be jumping off the shelves. Except, for some strange reason, they aren’t. There’s plenty of irony attached to the all-EV cult: the world’s largest EV charging station is run entirely using diesel … Continue reading Sick Joke: Nothing ‘Green’ About California’s All Electric Vehicle Mandates
Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies
The millions of solar panels and hundreds of thousands of turbine blades already ground up in landfills means there’s absolutely nothing ‘renewable’ about wind or solar. The term ‘renewable’ is just another monstrous abuse of the English language perpetrated by a cult that would have us believe the unbelievable by ignoring the bleeding obvious: weather-dependent … Continue reading Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies
Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities
The wind industry manages to spread poverty and misery wherever it goes. Power prices inevitably rocket - wrecking businesses and whole industries. Adding to the economic suffering, once peaceful and prosperous rural communities are treated as road-kill. Eco-zealots have attempted to ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments under the … Continue reading Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities
Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rage Against Communities Saving the Environment
The wind industry’s social licence looks increasingly like a licence to destroy everything in its path, including prosperous rural communities and precious ecosystems. Wiping out huge tracts of pristine forests - habitat to rare and endangered critters of all kinds - and slicing and dicing avian predators, like hawks, falcons and eagles and bats is … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rage Against Communities Saving the Environment
US Government Sued For Concealing Wind Industry’s Wholesale Whale Slaughter
Courts have a tendency to get the unvarnished truth out, such as the US government’s cover-up of wind industry’s wholesale whale slaughter. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie - it’s in its interest to do so, indeed its very existence depends upon a series of falsehoods - but governments are usually held to slightly … Continue reading US Government Sued For Concealing Wind Industry’s Wholesale Whale Slaughter
