Across Europe, investment in new wind and solar is in freefall. So far this year, the Germans installed a measly 35 of these things onshore. As their massive subsidies get cut and furious rural residents revolt, the wind and solar industries are facing their inevitable Armageddon. The inevitable surge in power prices and grid chaos … Continue reading With Wind & Solar’s Days Over, Who Cleans Up Europe’s Renewable Energy Mess?

Germany Wind Industry Expansion Thwarted: Rural Revolt Preventing Construction of New Wind Power Projects
In rural Germany, a rural revolt against wind power was inevitable. Close to 30,000 of these things have been speared across Deutschland, often within a stone’s throw of homes, towns and villages. Driven mad by practically incessant low-frequency noise and infrasound, watching whole forests clear-felled to make way for 300 tonne, 200m high turbines … Continue reading Germany Wind Industry Expansion Thwarted: Rural Revolt Preventing Construction of New Wind Power Projects
Wind Power’s Perfect Standstill: Total Collapse in New Construction Leaves German Wind Industry Suicidal
Germany was once a world beater when it came to erecting heavily subsidised wind turbines. Not anymore. So far this year, the German wind industry has managed to construct a mere 60 new onshore wind turbines across the entire country. Needless to say, Germany’s RE rent-seekers are crying ‘catastrophe’ and being advised to contact their … Continue reading Wind Power’s Perfect Standstill: Total Collapse in New Construction Leaves German Wind Industry Suicidal
Renewables ‘Transition’ Terminated: With Their Subsidies Slashed, the Honeymoon for Wind & Solar is Over
Like a bride jilted at the altar, the wind and solar ‘industries’ are moaning about what could have been. Plenty of RE zealots managed to convince themselves that these so-called ‘industries’ were actually sustainable; that the subsidies that created them would ultimately prove unnecessary, or if not, taxpayers and power consumers would merrily pay … Continue reading Renewables ‘Transition’ Terminated: With Their Subsidies Slashed, the Honeymoon for Wind & Solar is Over
Wind Industry Free-Fall: Subsidy Cuts Slashes Wind Power Investment & ‘Green’ Jobs
Cut subsidies to wind and solar and their ‘industries’ disappear in a heartbeat. Across Europe the subsidies have been slashed and so too has wind power investment and thousands of groovy ‘green’ jobs. Twelve countries in the European Union (EU) failed to install “a single wind turbine” last year. And, as a result, the manufacturers … Continue reading Wind Industry Free-Fall: Subsidy Cuts Slashes Wind Power Investment & ‘Green’ Jobs
Callous Carnage: Wind Industry Slicing & Dicing Threatened Bird & Bat Species With Impunity
The latest meme amongst climate alarmists is that the rate of species extinction is running rampantly out-of-control. So dire are the warnings that, if they materialise, we’ll be lucky if we get to spot any kind of critter crawling the earth, in a decade or two. However, there wouldn’t be much sport in criticising hysterical … Continue reading Callous Carnage: Wind Industry Slicing & Dicing Threatened Bird & Bat Species With Impunity
Game Over: Europe’s Great Renewables Rush Faces Armageddon
Death and taxes are certainties, so is the fact that wind and solar investment disappears just as soon the subsidies are cut. Without massive (and seemingly endless) subsidies we wouldn’t be having this conversation: there would have been no such thing as wind and solar power, on any scale, or at all. Twelve countries in … Continue reading Game Over: Europe’s Great Renewables Rush Faces Armageddon
Busted Bugs: German Wind Turbines Demolishing 1,200 Tonnes of Insects Each Year
Giant industrial wind turbines represent an existential threat to birds, bats, bees and a veritable host of other insect species. For just about anything on the wing, their 50-60m blades represent the end of the line. And the carnage is measured in the thousands of tonnes. A few weeks back we covered some German research … Continue reading Busted Bugs: German Wind Turbines Demolishing 1,200 Tonnes of Insects Each Year
Swedish Shutdown: Shift from Ever-Reliable Nuclear to Never-Reliable Wind Leaves Swedes Scrambling for Power
Attempting to replace always-on nuclear with weather-dependent wind power was always going to end in tears. Sweden - renowned for cheerful pop groups like Abba, Vogue-ish furniture and meatballs - has been hijacked by maniacs who’ve resolved to wind down its enviable nuclear power generation capacity, claiming it can be readily replaced with the chaotic … Continue reading Swedish Shutdown: Shift from Ever-Reliable Nuclear to Never-Reliable Wind Leaves Swedes Scrambling for Power
Irony Overdrive: Climate Alarmists Hate Burning Coal But Love Burning Up Entire Forests
Now that climate alarmists have hijacked energy policy, insanity is generally the order of the day. Claiming that, one day soon, we’ll all be powered by sunshine and breezes is just the beginning. On the one hand, zealots fly into an apoplectic rage when anyone mentions the prospect of using what were once ancient forests … Continue reading Irony Overdrive: Climate Alarmists Hate Burning Coal But Love Burning Up Entire Forests
