Scotland’s energy policy was hijacked by lunatics and the canny Scot, renowned for their parsimony, is paying a very heavy price, indeed. The subsidies paid to wind power outfits have been colossal; and all that state-mandated largess is being tacked onto Scottish power bills and/or picked up by taxpayers, south of the border. One of … Continue reading Post Modern Power: Scots Face Whopping Bill For Government’s Wind Power Obsession

Outrageous: French Company Destroying Battlefield Graves With Giant Wind Turbines

Overhyped: Europe’s Largest RE Battery Can Power Britain For 60 Seconds When Wind Power Fails
The hyperbole that greets the announcement of another giant battery is like the toxic plume they give off when they explode in flames. And, as we recently reported, that’s an increasingly likely occurrence: Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire At a loss to deal with the hopeless and chaotic … Continue reading Overhyped: Europe’s Largest RE Battery Can Power Britain For 60 Seconds When Wind Power Fails
Descent of Man: Britain’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy Lays A Path To Poverty
Britain is reaping the sorry rewards of its wind power obsession, with spiralling power prices and an increasingly unreliable power supply. Back in August last year we reported on a mass blackout that struck Britain, when an offshore wind farm decided to down tools: Blackout Nation: Wind Power Output Collapse Leaves Millions of Brits Totally Powerless … Continue reading Descent of Man: Britain’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy Lays A Path To Poverty
Cash Cow: UK Wind Farms Paid £650,000,000 in ‘Constraint Payments’ To NOT Produce Power
In the history of commerce, there’s never been a financial scam that comes anywhere near rivalling subsidised wind power. In the past, sharp, entrepreneurial types have made plenty of easy money from ‘selling’ the London Bridge and the Eiffel Tower to unwitting dupes. But scamming fools with too good to be true offers is nothing … Continue reading Cash Cow: UK Wind Farms Paid £650,000,000 in ‘Constraint Payments’ To NOT Produce Power
Long Road to Run: Fossil Fuels Powering the Planet Now & For Generations To Come
Renewable energy rent seekers have turned the ‘it’s a climate catastrophe’ dial all the way to 11 in an effort to convince us that our only salvation is an all sun and wind powered future.

New Normal: Brits Brace For More Routine Blackouts Thanks to Wind Power Obsession
If you’re pinning your power needs on the weather, then get set for mixed results. No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes alone; no country ever will. Those that are attempting to do so, in earnest, have come unstuck - eg Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia, the only Australian state … Continue reading New Normal: Brits Brace For More Routine Blackouts Thanks to Wind Power Obsession
Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
If unreliable, weather-dependent wind power isn’t a recipe for disaster, it’s most certainly a recipe for chaos. Electricity grids are complex critters, designed around strict tolerances to allow what’s dispatched to them by generators (supply) to perfectly match what’s taken out of them by customers (demand aka ‘the load’). For an explanation of what a … Continue reading Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
Killer-App: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Entire Bird Species
While Greta frets 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 Europe’s Red Kite and Tasmania’s Wedge Tailed Eagle. More generally, there’s a wave of avian carnage wherever the wind industry plies … Continue reading Killer-App: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Entire Bird Species
Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value. Indeed, when the gales rip across the Scottish Highlands and there’s a surfeit of wind power generated, that electricity can’t even be given away. Instead, taxpayers become the ‘buyers’ of last resort; not that they could never be called willing purchasers, … Continue reading Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power
