If the recent and idiotic obsession with intermittent wind and solar needed a pinup girl, it would have to be Germany. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless sea of solar panels. For all that wanton environmental destruction, Germans get a meagre 2.5% of their primary energy demand satisfied by … Continue reading Seriously Shortchanged: Germans to Squander €4.6 Trillion on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Get 2.5% of Their Energy In Return

Far Out: German Study Finds Pulsing Wind Farm Infrasound 20 Kilometres From Turbines
Overrun by 30,000 or so giant industrial wind turbines, it’s no surprises that Germans know all about the misery of wind turbine noise. A component of the cacophony of low-frequency, amplitude modulated noise generated by these things occurs in frequencies meant to be below what humans can ordinarily hear. But that does not mean that … Continue reading Far Out: German Study Finds Pulsing Wind Farm Infrasound 20 Kilometres From Turbines
German Obsession with Wind & Solar Means Power Prices Set To Keep Skyrocketing
Germany’s renewable energy transition is an unmitigated disaster: 5 million households are struggling to pay their power bills and 340,000 have been cut from the grid, because they can’t. The push towards a mythical all wind and sun powered future continues apace. Notwithstanding it’s a technical and physical impossibility. Germans happily drain nuclear power generated … Continue reading German Obsession with Wind & Solar Means Power Prices Set To Keep Skyrocketing
Peter Pan Power: Wind & Solar Obsession = Destructive Juvenile Fantasy
The wind and solar 'industries' are a lot like Peter Pan – the eternal child, who will fight, kick and scream to avoid the stark reality of adulthood. How often have we heard the yarn about wind and solar power needing a fat pile of subsidies (filched from taxpayers and power consumers) for just that … Continue reading Peter Pan Power: Wind & Solar Obsession = Destructive Juvenile Fantasy
Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Germany’s wind and solar experiment has failed: the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) has turned into an insanely costly debacle. German power prices have rocketed; blackouts and load shedding are the norm; and once bucolic farmland has been turned into industrial wastelands (see above). Hundreds of billions of euros have been squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, … Continue reading Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Bug’s Life: Bees & Other Flying Critters Being Wiped Out By Wind Turbines
Giant industrial wind turbines mean an ignominious slaughter for almost anything on the wing. 50-80m blades, with their tips travelling at over 300 km/h, readily slice and dice birds and bats in their millions every year. Then there’s a smorgasbord of smaller flying critters, like bees, wasps, dragonflies and other environmentally and agriculturally beneficial insects … Continue reading Bug’s Life: Bees & Other Flying Critters Being Wiped Out By Wind Turbines
Pathetically Pointless: Massive Increase in German Wind Power Capacity Adds Nothing to Power Output
Adding wind power generating capacity is one occasion when ‘more’, truly means ‘less’. No matter how much of other people’s money gets spent spearing wind turbines all over the countryside, the result is the same: whether it’s 10,000 or 100,000 MW of available wind power capacity, when calm weather sets in, the combined output adds … Continue reading Pathetically Pointless: Massive Increase in German Wind Power Capacity Adds Nothing to Power Output
Europe’s Energy Crisis: Counting the Staggering Cost of Subsidising Unreliable Wind & Solar
Adding inherently unreliable and heavily subsidised wind and solar to your grid is a guarantee of rocketing power prices. Every place in the world that got serious about wind and solar is being belted with serious increases in electricity costs. Wind and solar ‘powered’ Germany and wind ‘powered’ Denmark pay Europe’s highest power prices, by … Continue reading Europe’s Energy Crisis: Counting the Staggering Cost of Subsidising Unreliable Wind & Solar
Europe’s Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse: No New Wind Farms Built Since 2017
RE zealots tout rapidly increasing wind power capacity as ‘success’. Except, in Europe a dozen countries haven’t erected a single turbine during 2018, and that coincides with a massive slowdown in construction elsewhere. As you tread your way through the following article, be sure to ignore the usual rubbish about this wind farm ‘powering’ hundreds … Continue reading Europe’s Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse: No New Wind Farms Built Since 2017
Europe’s Fossil-Fuelled Future: Winter Wind & Solar Collapse Means Coal & Gas Here to Stay
The zealots that pump up the future for wind and solar power are programed to ignore the present and bound to ignore the past. For a few centuries in human history, windmills were the only game in town. Then, in the 18th Century, the captains of British scientific and engineering endeavour harnessed thermal power, the Industrial … Continue reading Europe’s Fossil-Fuelled Future: Winter Wind & Solar Collapse Means Coal & Gas Here to Stay
