Wind industry shills still make ludicrous claims about turbines running on the smell of an oily rag and lasting for 25 years or more, needing little more than a hug from time to time. They never talk about the operations and maintenance costs which - as reported by one Australian outfit Infigen - runs at … Continue reading Costly & Pathetic ‘Performance’: Thousands of Wind Turbines Being Replaced After 12 Years

Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
After 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, wind and solar are still being treated like untamable toddlers. The subsidies they begged for in the beginning were meant to help so-called ‘infant’ industries get on their feet. But, even now, the mere mention of reducing subsidies turns them … Continue reading Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies
Never stand between rent seekers and a fat pile of taxpayers’ money. The wind and solar industries were built on lies and myth, but they can only survive when there's a steady stream of massive and endless subsidies. Cut the subsidies and rent seekers disappear in a heartbeat. BP was once the head of the … Continue reading Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies
Wicked Waste: Nothing to Show From $3.8 Trillion Squandered On Intermittent Wind & Solar
The wild claims about wind and solar replacing, coal, gas and nuclear power don’t stand first contact with reality. Over the last 20 years, trillions of dollars have been squandered on subsidies, tax breaks, mandates, penalties, and other state-directed efforts to make chaotically intermittent wind and solar serious contenders on the world energy scene. Their … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Nothing to Show From $3.8 Trillion Squandered On Intermittent Wind & Solar
Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
There’s only one problem with the claim that wind and solar are cheap; that would be the evidence. The power pricing and supply calamity that has struck Britain and Germany, and places like California and South Australia before that, renders the “renewables are cheap” meme little more than delusional nonsense. But the unhinged and unsupported … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Crushing power costs and power rationing follow wind and solar reliance, like night follows day. Texas is no exception. Bullying power consumers to stop consuming power is par for the course; chiselling taxpayers to cover the exorbitant cost of making up for power shortfalls when the wind stops blowing and/or the sun sets, is grist … Continue reading Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Why America’s Green Subsidies Are Making China’s Wind Turbine & Solar Panel Makers Rich
China is profiting nicely from the West’s maniacal obsession with subsidised wind and solar - it dominates the global market for solar panels, with plenty of unwilling assistance from its captive Uighur ethnic minority; and has picked up a solid share of the wind turbine market, thanks to cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power. … Continue reading Why America’s Green Subsidies Are Making China’s Wind Turbine & Solar Panel Makers Rich
Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
After 40 Years Of Massive Subsidies Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Begging For More
Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 39 years ago. Over that span of time, there has been no lack of … Continue reading After 40 Years Of Massive Subsidies Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Begging For More
Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
If climate change is a problem, then wind turbines and solar panels aren’t a solution: heavily subsidised and unreliable wind and solar are an economic and environmental disaster. When climate alarmists managed to hijack energy (and with it economic) policy it was a case of lunatics taking over the asylum. In every breath, they exhort … Continue reading Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
