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
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
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
Wind Cult Ready to Rage: Trump Targets America’s Offshore Wind Scam
That Donald Trump inflames passions on the left is an understatement, but his plan to scrap America’s wind industry on day one if he takes office has rent-seekers and the wind cult in well-practised apoplexy. How dare anyone criticise an ‘industry’ that soaks up an endless stream of subsidies and can’t deliver electricity as and … Continue reading Wind Cult Ready to Rage: Trump Targets America’s Offshore Wind Scam
Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
The wind industry never lets facts shake the entrenched delusion that wind power is cheap and always available. One of the more troublesome facts relates to cost. Whereas the true and total cost of onshore wind power is merely exorbitant, taking these things kilometres offshore means the true cost of (occasionally) generating electricity is off … Continue reading Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
When your industry depends on mega-myths and hyped-up hubris, get ready for Armageddon-scale disappointment. GE’s rent-seeking wind power harm, Vernova pumped up its planned 18MW Haliade X offshore turbine with the kind of fanfare once reserved for NASA’s efforts to land men on the Moon. These things have a predilection for plummeting to earth with … Continue reading Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has been covering up whale deaths for the wind industry for years. The government-aided subterfuge has been running ever since the wind industry started building and operating industrial wind turbines along America’s Atlantic coast of the USA. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie. Its existence depends upon … Continue reading Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
Orsted’s Financial Collapse Spells Armageddon For US Offshore Wind Industry
When the most heavily subsidised industry on earth can’t make it pay, you know the economics must really stink. Denmark’s Ørsted share price plummeted 25% late last year, and after slashing dividends to shareholders was forced to write $billions off the projected value of its US offshore projects, and its share price is still heading south. Exhibiting … Continue reading Orsted’s Financial Collapse Spells Armageddon For US Offshore Wind Industry
