There’s nothing vaguely ‘renewable’ about wind and solar - when panels and turbines give up the ghost after a decade or so, the panels are crushed and dumped in landfills, as are millions of turbine blades. None of which is recycled; none of which is renewable. The panels and turbines are completely replaced and the … Continue reading Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable

Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
Claiming that wind and solar are green is simply nuts. Delivering rubbish power and leaving mountains of toxic rubbish in their wake, solar panels and industrial wind turbines are the antithesis of ‘green’. Assuming that ‘green’ means friendly to environments, people and the communities that they live in? As Michael Shellenberger explains during this Chris … Continue reading Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
A while back, wind industry spinners reckoned tourists would flock to see a few of these whirling wonders in action, now they’re flocking to their graveyards. Texans now have the opportunity to visit the growing piles of toxic turbine blades and other junk left over after these things give up the ghost. James Morrow and … Continue reading Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
Wind Industry’s Latest Victims: How Much ‘Green’ Hypocrisy Can a Koala Bear?
By trashing Australia’s pristine forests, the wind industry is wiping out critical habitat for the iconic koala. And the political cult that supports it, couldn’t care less. In a recent post, STT covered the work of Dominic Legoe, who is now part of a growing chorus of outrage about the way the Queensland and Federal … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Latest Victims: How Much ‘Green’ Hypocrisy Can a Koala Bear?
Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
The wind and solar industry’s sales pitch has been exemplary, but their product delivery and after-sales service is pure rubbish. Incapable of delivering electricity on demand, wind and solar will never amount to anything other than an effort in pointless vanity signalling. It’s late 2023, and the wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment … Continue reading Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles all critically depend upon a raft of minerals known as ‘rare earths’, as well as mountains of copper and cobalt. With the exponential increase in demand for minerals comes an exponential growth in the mountains of toxic filth left behind during mining and processing those minerals. The minerals … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Wind Turbine Wipeout: Rare & Endangered Eagles’ Days Are Numbered
The wind industry is battling on all fronts, including mounting community outrage, driven not least by its wanton slaughter of eagles, whales and other magnificent creatures. The outer tips of 60m wind turbine blades travelling at over 350kph make short work of avian predators, such as hawks, kites, falcons and eagles, including the rare and … Continue reading Wind Turbine Wipeout: Rare & Endangered Eagles’ Days Are Numbered
Alternating Ocean Currents: Offshore Wind Turbines The New Climate Drivers
Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and it’s only natural that that environment changes. Downwind air currents are cut and buffeted by the blades of turbines up wind. The phenomenon known as ‘wake turbulence’ reduces output from each turbine within a cluster of turbines, because it reduces and interferes with wind … Continue reading Alternating Ocean Currents: Offshore Wind Turbines The New Climate Drivers
Clean, Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power the Environment’s Best Friend
Wind and solar have lost their ‘social licence’; the masses no longer believe the ‘clean and green’ propaganda. Wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies are too difficult to hide or spin away. Once people get a grip on the great wind and solar scam, their conversion is irreversible. The original trope had it that … Continue reading Clean, Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power the Environment’s Best Friend
US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Slaughter
The US government has been lying for years about the offshore wind industry’s pointless whale slaughter. It’s bad enough that it’s already provided the wind industry with a license to kill thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals - a ‘get out of jail free card’ - known as the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. But, worse … Continue reading US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Slaughter
