Spreading like cancer across rural heartlands, industrial-scale solar is leaving a wake of destruction in its path. And the often-devastating environmental consequences to aquifers, plants and animals are even more acute in fragile desert ecosystems. As Travis Gillmore explains below. Hidden Impact of Massive Solar Farms: Residents and Wildlife Affected, Aquifers Threatened The Epoch Times … Continue reading America’s Industrial-Scale Solar Onslaught Wrecking Fragile Desert Environments

Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades are headed for landfills near you, and thousands more are being dumped illegally, right next door. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. In August 2021, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally … Continue reading Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Every wind turbine, solar panel and lithium battery is the product of scarce resources, and not just the rare stuff mined by 9-year-olds in the Congo. Claims about a ‘green’ Utopia never touch on the volume of mineral and other resources required to get there. Nor do the West’s great virtue signallers pay much lip … Continue reading Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
200 Million Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Destined For Landfills Near You
So-called 'green' energy is struggling with a monumental image problem: the toxic waste being dumped in landfills around the world. Millions of solar panels have already reached their use-by dates; they can’t be recycled, which means they’re destined for the local dump - in mind-boggling quantities. Then there's the threat to health that concentrated dumping … Continue reading 200 Million Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Destined For Landfills Near You
Solar Power Outfit Hit With $135m in Fines & Damages For Polluting Neighbour’s Land
The wind and solar ‘industries’ always struggle with their neighbours, principally because they treat them as ‘roadkill’. But that model doesn’t work when those neighbours are determined to fight back, using every legal means available. Such is the case with Shaun and Amie Harris, who took a solar power outfit to court seeking damages for … Continue reading Solar Power Outfit Hit With $135m in Fines & Damages For Polluting Neighbour’s Land
Fate Sealed: Government Greenlights Wind Industry to Kill 5,000 Whales, Dolphins & Seals
Wiping out hundreds of marine mammals is all in a day’s work for the offshore wind industry. And granting permits to do so, with complete impunity, appears to be the work of the US government. The mindless slaughter of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals is completely legit, thanks to the government-backed licenses known as the … Continue reading Fate Sealed: Government Greenlights Wind Industry to Kill 5,000 Whales, Dolphins & Seals
Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Wind power is delivered chaotically, it’s costly and critically depends on the weather. So, the only purported justification is said to be a reduction of carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector. Putting aside whether there’s any need to do so, STT is happy to attack the myth that wind power does any … Continue reading Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Canada’s Wind Industry Wiping Out Endangered Bat Species At Alarming Rate
Bats are just another creature being tormented or slaughtered by the wind industry as sets about ‘saving’ the planet. Courtesy of 40-70m long blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350 km/h, rare and endangered bat species are being wiped off the face of the earth at an astonishing rate. It’s not just direct … Continue reading Canada’s Wind Industry Wiping Out Endangered Bat Species At Alarming Rate
Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’
If wind power were delivered at an affordable cost, 24 x 365, the wind industry might just justify the rampant slaughter of millions of birds and bats, including America’s iconic bald and golden eagles. However, given that wind power will only ever be delivered in chaotic fits and spurts all avian carnage is is entirely pointless. Every … Continue reading Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’
