Two necessary ingredients of the great wind power fraud are a gullible public and a troupe of pliant politicians. A decade from now - as these things either self-destruct, collapse or quietly rust into oblivion - the MPs that enabled the greatest economic and environmental fraud in history, will not be thanked. Nor will … Continue reading Subsidised Wind Power: An International Crime Against Common Sense

Wind Power: World’s Greatest Joke – UK Left Powerless During the ‘Big Calm’
The greatest joke ever played on the world is the idea that the wind can - and will soon completely - power modern economies. When the wind disappears for days and even weeks on end, those that promote it tend to get twitchy and change the subject. Sometimes it’s mutterings about mega-batteries (that don’t exist) … Continue reading Wind Power: World’s Greatest Joke – UK Left Powerless During the ‘Big Calm’
Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines
The wind industry and those that promote it look more ridiculous, by the day. An entirely weather dependent power source, abandoned a couple of centuries back for pretty obvious reasons, exhibits all the resilience of a snowflake in summer. The irony that some ordinary old meteorological phenomenon (wind, rain and lightning) can easily knock wind … Continue reading Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines
Wind ‘Powered’ Britain Scrambles to Build Nuclear Power Plants as UK Wind ‘Drought’ Hits
There’s a reason that windmills were abandoned in the 19th century: it’s called “the wind”. In 2018, only profiteers and idiots remain as advocates for wind power. In the former category stands Bloomberg, which has been front and centre when it comes to promoting the purported ‘virtues’ of subsidised wind and solar. So, it’s somewhat … Continue reading Wind ‘Powered’ Britain Scrambles to Build Nuclear Power Plants as UK Wind ‘Drought’ Hits
Poorest Families Left Powerless: Britain Squanders £100 Billion on Renewable Energy
Subsidised wind and solar guarantee rocketing power prices, leaving plenty of pensioners and the poor powerless. You know you’re dealing with an ideologue when your antagonist couldn’t care less about the vulnerable and impoverished that drift along at the very edge of society. Justifying someone else’s suffering takes nerve, but it can be done (at … Continue reading Poorest Families Left Powerless: Britain Squanders £100 Billion on Renewable Energy
Inevitable Transition: End to Subsidies Spells Armageddon for Ageing Wind Turbines in Europe
With wind power subsidies drying up across Europe, the prospects for RE rent seekers look bleaker than ever. It seems like only yesterday, that we were told that wind power was cheaper than coal, sustainable and would power us into the next millennium. Indeed, the transition was meant to be ‘inevitable’. Meanwhile, back on Earth, … Continue reading Inevitable Transition: End to Subsidies Spells Armageddon for Ageing Wind Turbines in Europe
World’s ‘Biggest’ Wind Turbine – Wind Industry’s Final Solution or Last Hurrah?
As power consumers wake up to the great wind power fraud, the wind industry has developed a siege mentality. Trotting out hackneyed propaganda about the ‘inevitable transition’, being ‘competitive’ with coal and RE powering on to world domination is starting to lose traction. And that’s the trouble with myths: the mob soon works you out. … Continue reading World’s ‘Biggest’ Wind Turbine – Wind Industry’s Final Solution or Last Hurrah?
Britain Squanders £7bn a Year on Stone Age Wind Power
It takes a ‘special’ kind of person to still believe that a country can run itself on sunshine and breezes. Idolatry, zealotry, and good old-fashioned pig ignorance are worn like badges of honour amongst the wind and sun cult. Claims range from the ‘wind is always blowing somewhere’, ‘wind power is cheaper than coal’, and … Continue reading Britain Squanders £7bn a Year on Stone Age Wind Power
Death’s Icy Grip: Climate Change Won’t Kill Granny, But Climate Change Policies Do
Children as young as five are now taught to fear global warming in the way their mean uncles once terrified them with tales of ghosts and bogeymen, in days gone past. Hysterical and overblown claims that runaway climate change is about to kill your granny are only half wrong: what’s likely to do the old … Continue reading Death’s Icy Grip: Climate Change Won’t Kill Granny, But Climate Change Policies Do
Neighbourhood Nuisance: UK Wind Farm Operator Fined £51,000 For Noisy Turbine
Driving neighbours nuts with incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound is what the wind industry does best. Wind power outfits literally create headaches wherever they ply their subsidy-soaked trade. But, increasingly, people and communities with the temerity to stand up for their rights are doing just that. And winning. Fined £51,000 ... for … Continue reading Neighbourhood Nuisance: UK Wind Farm Operator Fined £51,000 For Noisy Turbine
