Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar was never going to end well. Power prices are now the highest in Europe, if not the world. But paying for power is only a problem for those Germans who are lucky enough to be supplied with it. Wherever there’s an attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, … Continue reading Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Total Shutdown: German Revolt Against Industrial Wind Power Brings Wind Farm Construction to Standstill
The German wind industry is in free-fall: new construction is at a standstill, in no small part due to the fact that rural Germans are in full-scale revolt against the wind industry. In 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Tens of thousands of those … Continue reading Total Shutdown: German Revolt Against Industrial Wind Power Brings Wind Farm Construction to Standstill
Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices
The only things 'inevitable' about ‘transitioning’ to wind and solar are rocketing power prices, load shedding and mass blackouts. Ask a German or South Australian. 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, … Continue reading Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices
Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
The wind industry in Germany is in freefall: in 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Over the last two decades, heavily subsidised wind power outfits managed to spear almost 30,000 of these things across rural Germany. Driven mad by practically incessant, turbine generated … Continue reading Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
No country went harder and faster with its renewable obsession than Germany. The rocketing power prices that inevitably followed are crushing its once thriving industries, including motor manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz. The idea that a critical input cost to manufacturing can be tripled without affecting profitability and employment is, as any student of that dismal … Continue reading Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Wiping out entire forest habitats is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition to a wind powered future. Across Germany, millions of acres of forest have been clear-felled and great swathes cut through others, to allow some 29,000 of these things to be speared across Deutschland. The same is happening in the Green Mountain State, … Continue reading Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Wind Power Investment Collapses as Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Total Armageddon
Once a world 'leader', Germany’s wind industry is on the brink of total collapse; new construction has ceased, and bankrupt turbine makers are sacking thousands of workers. Limit your worldview to the mainstream press and you’d be forgiven for thinking Germany is well on its way to an all wind and sun powered future, and … Continue reading Wind Power Investment Collapses as Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Total Armageddon
It’s-A-Knockout: European Wind Industry’s Total Collapse: Firms Bankrupt & Thousands Sacked
The wholesale collapse of Europe’s wind industry suggests that so-called ‘sustainable’ energy ain’t so sustainable, after all. Big turbine manufacturers are sacking workers in droves, watching their share prices plummet and pulling out all stops to stave off bankruptcy. 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
Peoples’ Revolt: Hawaiians Join International Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
The wind industry has never had it so tough; subsidies are being slashed, destroying their ‘business’ model and rural communities are in full-scale revolt, sick of being treated as ‘roadkill’. No matter where the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade, rural folk soon turn hostile. The German wind industry is at a standstill, not only … Continue reading Peoples’ Revolt: Hawaiians Join International Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
