The wind and solar ‘industries’ are clear-felling ancient forests, bulldozing whole mountains, stripping the last remnants of fragile vegetation from deserts, killing endangered whales, eagles, bats and more, turning productive farmland into industrial wastelands and are being paid handsomely to do so by the governments you elect. Seems legit, right? As Bonner Cohan outlines below, … Continue reading Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction

No Upside: Adding More & More Wind Turbines Means Less & Less Power Generated
It’s no mystery that wind power generation depends on the wind. Less apparent is the fact that adding more turbines in a given location means less power gets generated, overall. The law of diminishing returns applies with a real vengeance when turbulence from upwind turbines ruins the ability of their downwind brethren to generate power, … Continue reading No Upside: Adding More & More Wind Turbines Means Less & Less Power Generated
Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More
With thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises washing up in areas given over to offshore wind turbines, the wind industry is having a hard time covering up its responsibility for the cetacean carnage. The relationship between offshore wind turbine construction noise and marine mammal fatalities is now incontrovertible: Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by … Continue reading Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More
Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse
Europe’s wind and solar industries are on the ropes, thanks to the sudden embrace of ever-reliable nuclear power across the Continent. Producing machines that can never produce power on demand was always going to end in tears. But moves to amp up construction of nuclear power plants - initiated by the French and followed by … Continue reading Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse
Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts
Wind power is utterly pointless because it can’t be delivered on demand, which means there’s absolutely no justification for the offshore industry’s rampant whale slaughter. Anyone with a shred of empathy for charismatic marine mammals is entitled to consider what’s being done in the name of ‘saving the planet’ utterly criminal. And rightly so. The … Continue reading Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts
Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
These things have a nasty habit of self-destructing without notice - whether it’s shredding and/or throwing their blades for miles, or spontaneously combusting in toxic fireballs, the environmental damage done is immediate and often permanent. In a recent post - Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless - we covered the story … Continue reading Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Here’s everything you wanted to know about offshore wind power, and it’s all bad. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. Then there’s the mounting and irreparable environmental harm - ecologically destructive and deadly to marine mammals, as well as fishing … Continue reading Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Deadly Interference: Offshore Wind Turbines Wrecking Marine Radar Signals
Radar is critical to safe marine navigation, and pilots, both domestic and military, particularly when the weather turns sour. With offshore wind turbines the perfect radar signal wreckers, you'd think they were designed as some form of enemy espionage. Wind turbines standing on columns 100-150m or more above sea level, with the tips of their 50-80m … Continue reading Deadly Interference: Offshore Wind Turbines Wrecking Marine Radar Signals
Cancelled: Investors Ditch Dozens of Mega-Offshore Wind Power Projects
The smart money is treating offshore wind power like the Ebola virus. Like that deadly contagion, the offshore wind industry's rapid and merciless collapse is spreading far and wide. Dozens of mega-offshore projects - that were once talked up with the reverence usually reserved for transcendental deities - are being quietly scrapped. Whereas the promised … Continue reading Cancelled: Investors Ditch Dozens of Mega-Offshore Wind Power Projects
Taxpayers Robbed Again: Offshore Wind Industry Gets More Massive Subsidies
Already the most heavily subsidised ‘industry’ on earth, the wind industry is in need of much more of the same. This time, as Dr John Constable explains below, it’s about politics. [Note to Ed: the renewables scam has always and everywhere been about pure politics] Apparently, wind power outfits have been choosing turbines, associated kit … Continue reading Taxpayers Robbed Again: Offshore Wind Industry Gets More Massive Subsidies
