Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind ‘industry’ would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply their … Continue reading Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Idiocracy Rules: Brainwashed Brats Ditch School to Bleat For All Wind & Sun Powered Future
Apparently, RE zealots think illiterate school kids ranting about wind and solar saving us from imminent global incineration is a good thing. Putting aside the central premise and the debate about whether carbon dioxide gas (a naturally occurring, beneficial trace gas essential for life on earth) is just plant food or a pernicious and deadly … Continue reading Idiocracy Rules: Brainwashed Brats Ditch School to Bleat For All Wind & Sun Powered Future
