Britain’s trawlermen are tough, but not invincible. Giant industrial wind turbines and their associated infrastructure have already wrecked once productive fishing grounds, with more under threat. The power cables that connect offshore wind turbines are mesmerising crabs and causing biological harm that affects their ability to migrate and breed; the same phenomenon has just been … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Crucial Fish Breeding Grounds & Fishermen’s Livelihoods

Senseless Seagull Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Britain’s Seabirds
Wherever the wind industry plies it subsidy-soaked trade, there’s a wave of avian carnage, and offshore is no exception. While Greta & Co fret about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are under threat, including … Continue reading Senseless Seagull Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Britain’s Seabirds
All Wind & Promises: New US Study Reveals Another Great ‘Green’ Jobs Hoax
The rocketing power prices caused by subsidised wind and solar have destroyed thousands of jobs in manufacturing and mineral processing, for starters. But, retorts the renewable energy rent seeker, think of all the green jobs ‘created’ by the wind and solar industries. Whether you call it a ‘Green New Deal’ or a ‘Great Green Reset’, … Continue reading All Wind & Promises: New US Study Reveals Another Great ‘Green’ Jobs Hoax
Lobster Tales: Offshore Wind Farms Leave Lobsters With Deformed & Crippled Young
Crabs and lobsters are being mesmerised, deformed and crippled by the peculiar electromagnetic fields created by the cables that connect offshore wind turbines. A recent scientific study found that the magnetic fields generated by these cables attracts crabs that then remain in place, fixated on the magnetic field, effectively immobilising them. Now, another study relating … Continue reading Lobster Tales: Offshore Wind Farms Leave Lobsters With Deformed & Crippled Young
Utter Madness: Trivial Energy Return For $Billions Squandered On Unreliable Wind Power
Despite the countless $billions in subsidies thrown at wind power, its contribution to world energy demand remains an accounting rounding error. Talk about wind power making a meaningful contribution to electricity supplies is pure delusion. And yet, those that pretend to govern us openly conspire with the rent-seekers stealing from us in their joint efforts … Continue reading Utter Madness: Trivial Energy Return For $Billions Squandered On Unreliable Wind Power
Routine Delivery Failures Renders Offshore Wind Power Utterly Meaningless
Despite overblown promises, offshore wind power is as meaningless as its onshore cousin. Centuries of sailing the high seas provided the clue: when the wind stops blowing, the boat ain’t going. So, if seafarers had nothing but curses for their days in the doldrums, why would offshore wind power be any different? Not only is … Continue reading Routine Delivery Failures Renders Offshore Wind Power Utterly Meaningless
Woke Wonderland: Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans Staggeringly Expensive Fantasy
In the Humpty Dumpty land occupied by wind and solar advocates, the power produced by wind and sun is free and getting cheaper all the time. Solar panels and wind turbines are powering homes and businesses around-the-clock, whatever the weather. The panels and turbines last forever and cost nothing to repair or maintain. Well, that’s … Continue reading Woke Wonderland: Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans Staggeringly Expensive Fantasy
Fake News: Debunking Claims That Britain’s Set to Light Up Europe With Wind Power
Never short on audacity, Britain’s wind industry is now peddling the myth that it’ll soon be lighting up all of Europe. Notwithstanding the fact that it was forced to fire up its coal-fired power plants to overcome the Big Calm in the last months of 2021, when wind power output collapsed across the UK and … Continue reading Fake News: Debunking Claims That Britain’s Set to Light Up Europe With Wind Power
Fighting Back: Americans Unite To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds
With offshore wind power outfits wrecking their fishing grounds, America’s fishermen are fighting like their lives depend upon it. With assistance from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Rhode Island’s fishing community has issued proceedings in the Federal Court seeking to knockout the permits given to Vineyard Wind which, if left in place, will inevitably wreck … Continue reading Fighting Back: Americans Unite To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds
Not Green: Offshore Wind ‘Industry’ Destroying Fishing Grounds, Birds & Marine Life
Taking wind turbines out to sea not only escalates the cost of the occasional power they produce, it destroys coastal landscapes, birds and other marine life. Millions of birds of battered out of existence by these things every year. And offshore turbines are driving puffins and other threatened species to the brink of extinction. Wind … Continue reading Not Green: Offshore Wind ‘Industry’ Destroying Fishing Grounds, Birds & Marine Life
