Claims that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years are a proven nonsense. What wind worshippers tend to forget is that these things have a useful (that is to say ‘economic’) lifespan of around 12 years. Subsidies are what built them. Subsidies are what run them.

Wind & Sun Undone: 100% Renewables Claims Complete Fantasy
In their sillier moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would get out of their way, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come.

Germany’s ‘Transition’ Back to Coal: Renewable Energy Push Smacks Into Reality

Which goes some way to explain why Germany was overrun by these things; with thousands of them speared all across their farms and forests. However, Germans quite obviously have their limits of tolerance. During the winter just gone, with … Continue reading Germany’s Anti-Wind Power FDP Free Democrats Crush Greens in North Rhine Westphalia
