2023 was the year when the offshore wind industry’s grand implosion began. Major investors bailed out as the insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments began to bite. Dozens of projects have been scrapped and others are now highly doubtful. And for those wind power outfits … Continue reading Shipwrecked: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Being Crushed By Rising Construction Costs

China & India Reject West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession
While Europe, the UK, US and Australia are busily destroying their energy supplies, China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist - providing reliable and cheap power to industry, businesses and households is central to their economic development. There was nothing sustainable about subsidised wind and solar. The sudden and … Continue reading China & India Reject West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession
Radar Alert: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Air & Sea Defence Systems
Offshore wind turbines are so good at wrecking radar defence systems, they look like active enemy espionage. Wind turbines standing on columns 100-150m or more above sea level, with the tips of their 50-80m blades clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger … Continue reading Radar Alert: Offshore Wind Turbines Destroying Air & Sea Defence Systems
Floating Circus: Offshore Wind Industry’s Floating Turbine Plan Scoops Parody Award
The more desperate rent-seekers become, the sillier they sound. The latest plan to float 800 tonne turbines at sea sounds like parody in motion. Notwithstanding that the offshore wind industry can’t make a buck in shallow waters where their turbines are firmly connected to the ocean floor - dozens of grand offshore projects have been … Continue reading Floating Circus: Offshore Wind Industry’s Floating Turbine Plan Scoops Parody Award
US Government Sued For Concealing Wind Industry’s Wholesale Whale Slaughter
Courts have a tendency to get the unvarnished truth out, such as the US government’s cover-up of wind industry’s wholesale whale slaughter. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie - it’s in its interest to do so, indeed its very existence depends upon a series of falsehoods - but governments are usually held to slightly … Continue reading US Government Sued For Concealing Wind Industry’s Wholesale Whale Slaughter
Enron All Over Again: Wind & Solar Industries Become Total Financial Train Wrecks
Ponzi schemes last only as long as their creators can draw in fresh suckers. The wind and solar industries are fast running out of suckers. America’s Enron set the standards early, parading manufactured financial statements that never reflected the fact that Enron was a worthless house of cards. Gullible investors kept piling in, which helped … Continue reading Enron All Over Again: Wind & Solar Industries Become Total Financial Train Wrecks
Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen
Wind and solar rent seekers have all the style and menacing panache of the 17th-century highwaymen. It takes real audacity to look your victims in the eye and demand even more subsidies on top of the obscene pile rent seekers have already drawn from taxpayers and power consumers. But these boys are dripping in audacity. … Continue reading Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen
Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful
2023 will go down as the year that the wind industry began its inevitable implosion. Unable to deliver power as and when power consumers need it (therefore generating electricity with no commercial value), the wind industry was only ever the product of mandates, tax breaks and massive subsidies. Call it a Ponzi scheme, call it … Continue reading Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful
Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry
As the offshore wind industry implodes in the US, UK and Northern Europe it’s worth noting the class of villains responsible. Pitching the most insanely expensive method of occasionally generating electricity on a random and entirely chaotic basis took audacity; taking investors for a ride with them took a special kind of malice; and pretending … Continue reading Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry
Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
For more than a decade, acolytes and crony capitalists have run the story that offshore wind power is free, and getting cheaper all the time. However, the reality doesn’t match the rhetoric. In the UK, offshore outfits refused to bid at the figures offered by government in the auction by which future (guaranteed) contract prices … Continue reading Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
