UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All

By December 2019, British wind power outfits had already collected over £650,000,000 in “constraint payments” for doing nothing at all; the cost to power consumers was almost £1 billion over the last five years and that figure is expected to soar. By 2030, wind power outfits across the UK (principally in Scotland) are predicted to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All

UK’s Wind Industry Will Pocket £3 Billion In Subsidies For Producing Nothing At All

The ‘constraint payments’ paid to wind power outfits are commercial extortion, where the (occasional) producer claims a fee for producing absolutely nothing, at all. The honourable kidnapper at least hands over his victim when he gets the cash and there's something to show for the exchange. In this case, the victims are unwitting taxpayers and … Continue reading UK’s Wind Industry Will Pocket £3 Billion In Subsidies For Producing Nothing At All

Floating Wrecks: Perpetually Failing Siemens Offshore Wind Turbines Practically Uninsurable

The wind industry’s sudden implosion saw Siemens suffer a €5.8 billion ($6.3 billion) market value write-down in a single day in June, followed by another 40% write-down in October - slashing a further €3 billion ($3.16 billion) off its market value, following revelations by Siemens that it was demanding billions in government-backed guarantees from the … Continue reading Floating Wrecks: Perpetually Failing Siemens Offshore Wind Turbines Practically Uninsurable

Thermal Reaction: Neighbours Demand Protection From Raging Wind Turbine Fires

Way more common than the industry lets on, self-combusting industrial wind turbines pose a deadly threat to life and property. When these 300 tonne juggernauts go up in flames it’s time to cut and run. And if flying chunks of burning toxic plastics and molten metals aren’t enough to contend with, neighbours have been dodging … Continue reading Thermal Reaction: Neighbours Demand Protection From Raging Wind Turbine Fires

Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage

Wind and solar rent-seekers are laughing all the way to the bank, with your money. Subsidising wind and solar operators under the mantle of reaching mythical net-zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets comes with a staggering cost: wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies. The cult that drives it all, has seriously underestimated the proles’ … Continue reading Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage

Too Cool For School: Frozen Wind Turbines Being ‘Warmed’ Up Using Diesel Powered Generators

Wind power is a fickle critter: wind too slow (no power); wind too fast (no power); wind turbine frozen solid (again, no power). The habit of freezing up during cold spells is just another reason why wind power will never amount to a meaningful power source, not now, not ever. Sure, there are ‘solutions’ when … Continue reading Too Cool For School: Frozen Wind Turbines Being ‘Warmed’ Up Using Diesel Powered Generators

British Taxpayers Paying Wind Power Outfits £500,000,000 Every Year To Produce NOTHING!

There’s never been a financial scam that comes anywhere near rivalling subsidised wind power for longevity and audacity. Stories of the gullible signing up to buy the London Bridge or the Eiffel Tower spring to mind, when it is borne in mind that wind power (which simply cannot be delivered on demand) has no commercial … Continue reading British Taxpayers Paying Wind Power Outfits £500,000,000 Every Year To Produce NOTHING!

The Great Wind Power Swindle: Households & Businesses Being Crushed By Record Power Bills

If wind power is cheap, why does every country obsessed with it suffer rocketing power prices? The game of smoke and mirrors played by renewable energy rent-seekers, has enabled them to avoid any critical scrutiny of the role heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar play in driving power prices into orbit. A decade of … Continue reading The Great Wind Power Swindle: Households & Businesses Being Crushed By Record Power Bills

Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Crucial Fish Breeding Grounds & Fishermen’s Livelihoods

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

Stunned Still: Offshore Wind Farm Power Cables Leave Crabs Mesmerised & Motionless

Seabirds, whales and dolphins aren’t offshore wind’s only victims - crabs are being mesmerised by the electromagnetic fields produced by the power cables that connect turbines to each other and to the grid. A scientific study has found that the magnetic fields generated by these cables attract crabs that then remain in place, fixated on … Continue reading Stunned Still: Offshore Wind Farm Power Cables Leave Crabs Mesmerised & Motionless
