Accumulating hundreds of €millions in losses, turbine maker Senvion entered into self-administered bankruptcy/liquidation in April. Danish … Continue reading It’s-A-Knockout: European Wind Industry’s Total Collapse: Firms Bankrupt & Thousands Sacked
Game Over: German Wind Industry In Freefall: Turbine Makers Sack Thousands in Mass Layoffs
The manufacturers of turbines and solar panels are dropping like flies, as subsidies are rolled back across Europe. So-called ‘green’ jobs are a case of easy come, easy go. The wind and solar ‘industries’ that gave birth to those jobs simply can’t survive without massive and endless subsidies, which means their days are numbered. With … Continue reading Game Over: German Wind Industry In Freefall: Turbine Makers Sack Thousands in Mass Layoffs

Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, which each jockey for line honours in the world’s highest power prices stakes. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless … Continue reading Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
