When the wind industry fiasco inevitably grinds to a halt sometime in the next decade, those that entertained it – be it gullible farmers who traded 30 pieces of silver to destroy their communities or the local governments that rubber-stamped the planning applications that permitted it – are going to be left with a monumental cleanup … Continue reading Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It

Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
All At Sea: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Cans Projects Deemed No Longer Viable
Offshore wind power outfits are struggling to get their projects off the ground, notwithstanding the massive subsidies they’ve been able to gouge out of America’s taxpayers. The cost of offshore wind power is astronomical; more than six times the cost of gas-fired power which is, of course, available around-the-clock, regardless of the weather. The operating … Continue reading All At Sea: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Cans Projects Deemed No Longer Viable
Battle Lines: American Farmers Winning War Against Lying, Greedy Wind & Solar Outfits
Remember all those glowing stories about wind and solar power outfits being welcomed into rural communities with open arms? You know, tales about how farmers are dying to have turbines lined up all over their properties? How locals can’t wait to pick up some of the thousands of permanent, high paying jobs on offer? How developers … Continue reading Battle Lines: American Farmers Winning War Against Lying, Greedy Wind & Solar Outfits
Gas Demand Driven By Need to ‘Back Up’ Wind & Solar Using Fast-Start Gas Turbines
Before the obsession with intermittent wind and solar took hold, gas was rarely used to generate electricity if coal, nuclear or hydro sources were available. Gas-fired electricity, in the main, was simply too expensive, by comparison with coal-fired power. Coal-fired generators are designed to run around-the-clock. Wind turbines and solar panels only run according to … Continue reading Gas Demand Driven By Need to ‘Back Up’ Wind & Solar Using Fast-Start Gas Turbines
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’
No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout
If the wind industry gets its way, it’s curtains for the already endangered Atlantic Right Whale. Taking giant industrial wind turbines offshore threatens whales of all shapes and sizes, including the Atlantic Right Whale. Whales already have plenty of offshore industrial activity to contend with. However, where oil and gas extraction, international shipping, and commercial … Continue reading No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout
Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Heralds Nuclear Power’s New Beginning
Like planting trees, the best time to build nuclear power plants was 20 years ago, the next best time is right now. Before climate cultists started demonising coal-fired power, the world was awash in reliable and affordable electricity. Now, however, the crowd that berates us about human-generated carbon dioxide gas are hellbent on destroying coal … Continue reading Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Heralds Nuclear Power’s New Beginning
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’
Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Renewable energy rent seekers keep spreading the lie about wind and solar being the cheapest form of power there is. Trouble is, there isn’t a shred of evidence to support claims about wind and solar being cheap. There never was. The position your country occupies on the table above is directly related to increased reliance … Continue reading Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
