Wind power has no economic value simply because it cannot be delivered as and when power consumers need it. Hence the massive and seemingly endless subsidies to a power source which is meaningless and, accordingly, worthless. In the absence of subsidies, there would be no wind industry, at all. But worthless does not mean ‘cheap’ … Continue reading Bloody Expensive: Counting Staggering True Cost of Worthless Wind Power

Offshore Offside: Lawyers Line Up to Smash Atlantic Coast Wind Power Projects
Big-spending Joe Biden wants to squander untold $billions of taxpayer’s hard-earned on wind power, including thousands of turbines to be planted across the pristine and productive fisheries situated off the New England and mid-Atlantic coasts. Fishermen are, quite rightly, already up in arms, determined to prevent the mindless destruction of the marine environment and, with … Continue reading Offshore Offside: Lawyers Line Up to Smash Atlantic Coast Wind Power Projects
Danes Dissemble: Offshore Wind Farm Operator Covers Up Cause of Long-Term Shut Down
The wind industry was built on lies and myth and runs on subsidies. So, if you’re looking for a straight answer, don’t bother quizzing a wind farm operator. Sure, the usual corporate PR spin can be expected from any commercial outfit. But, as David Collins is quickly learning, if you’re trying to elicit information from … Continue reading Danes Dissemble: Offshore Wind Farm Operator Covers Up Cause of Long-Term Shut Down
Burning Cash: (Occasional) Offshore Wind Power More Than Six Times Cost of (Constant) Gas-Fired Power
The true cost of wind power is staggering - the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of gas-fired power. The operating cost of maintaining any industrial machine in a marine environment starts out high and only increases over time, thanks to the corrosive power of … Continue reading Burning Cash: (Occasional) Offshore Wind Power More Than Six Times Cost of (Constant) Gas-Fired Power
Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
There’s a yawning gulf between what wind turbines and solar panels are capable of delivering and what’s actually delivered. Sunset and calm weather will do it every time. Terms like “capacity factor” and the “Levelized Cost Of Energy” are bandied about with great scientific certitude by renewable energy rent-seekers. As to the first, wind and … Continue reading Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
Ever Ascendant: True Cost of Unreliable Wind & Solar Continues to Rise Unabated
If wind and solar power were truly competitive with conventional generators, there would be no need for even a nickel in subsidies. The fact they continue unabated says it all. Claims that the cost of wind and solar generation are falling don’t stand a minute’s serious scrutiny. One group that has applied a blowtorch to … Continue reading Ever Ascendant: True Cost of Unreliable Wind & Solar Continues to Rise Unabated
Renewables Rip-off: ‘Free’ Offshore Wind Power Costs Six Times the Average Cost of Power in USA
Americans are fast learning that the cost of wind power is staggering, and the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. Joe Biden and his Squad are eager to plant thousands of these things up and down the Atlantic coast, claiming that offshore wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. It’s a … Continue reading Renewables Rip-off: ‘Free’ Offshore Wind Power Costs Six Times the Average Cost of Power in USA
Spreading Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Toxic Plastics During Operation
There’s a landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills Thousands of 45-70m blades (weighing between 10 to 25 tonnes) are being ground up and mixed with concrete used in the bases … Continue reading Spreading Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Toxic Plastics During Operation
Transmission Break: Frequently Faulty Cables Costing Offshore Wind Power Generators Hundreds of $Millions
Turns out offshore wind power is more financial heartbreak than cash cow. Thanks to the phenomenal cost of repairing its undersea cables, Denmark’s Orsted is literally bleeding cash. The cost of fixing faulty cables connecting their turbines to each other and transmission facilities onshore is already in the hundreds of $millions, and set to rise … Continue reading Transmission Break: Frequently Faulty Cables Costing Offshore Wind Power Generators Hundreds of $Millions
Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Energy Mirage: Or ‘How To Squander $Trillions of Taxpayers’ Money’
For an example of how unhinged the Democrat’s energy policy is, then Biden’s offshore wind energy plan takes the cake. The fact that offshore wind power has already proven to be a phenomenally expensive way of generating electricity clearly hasn’t registered. Nor has the fact that it’s no more reliable than wind power generated onshore, … Continue reading Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Energy Mirage: Or ‘How To Squander $Trillions of Taxpayers’ Money’
