The first step out of grinding poverty starts with access to energy-rich hydrocarbons: ie coal, oil and gas. Third World governments are continually berated by opportunistic globalists who claim to be saving the planet by forcing them to take up insanely expensive and thoroughly unreliable wind and solar. Some are duped, sure enough. But it … Continue reading No Substitute: Poverty Reduction Depends On Access To Energy Rich Coal, Oil & Gas

Billions of Wind Turbine Blades Built With Balsa Wood Stripped From Amazon’s Forests
Green groups are starting to rumble the fact that wind power ain’t so green, after all. Giant industrial wind turbines comprise hundreds of tonnes of steel, aluminium, plastics, copper and rare earths used in the generator’s magnets. There is also at least a tonne of gear oil and hydraulic fluid on board. And then there’s … Continue reading Billions of Wind Turbine Blades Built With Balsa Wood Stripped From Amazon’s Forests

Throwing their blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong … Continue reading Smashing It!: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Can’t Help Catastrophic Collapses
