Wind and solar subsidies were designed to undermine the owners of reliable power generation plants, making them uncompetitive in the first instance and ultimately putting them out of business. The problem with that model, though, is that once-reliable generators are knocked off the grid, power consumers are then forced to pay the full price of … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies

Subsidy Cuts Mean Wind Turbine Makers Face Miserable & Uncertain Future
The wind industry was built on lies and runs on subsidies; cut the subsidies and the whole thing collapses in a heartbeat. Wind turbine makers like Germany’s Siemens are having a rather miserable time of it, of late. Subsidies were already being wound back across Europe (and with it demand for these whirling wonders) when … Continue reading Subsidy Cuts Mean Wind Turbine Makers Face Miserable & Uncertain Future
All Wind & Promises: New US Study Reveals Another Great ‘Green’ Jobs Hoax
The rocketing power prices caused by subsidised wind and solar have destroyed thousands of jobs in manufacturing and mineral processing, for starters. But, retorts the renewable energy rent seeker, think of all the green jobs ‘created’ by the wind and solar industries. Whether you call it a ‘Green New Deal’ or a ‘Great Green Reset’, … Continue reading All Wind & Promises: New US Study Reveals Another Great ‘Green’ Jobs Hoax
Rural America Tells Wind Industry to ‘Stick Its Turbines Where The Sun Don’t Shine’
America’s farmers have rejected the pitch that 600-700-foot-high wind turbines and endless seas of solar panels are a surefire path to peace and prosperity. Rural Americans are angry, organised and lawyered up. These are people who will not become roadkill for the renewable energy rent seekers determined to destroy their peaceful and prosperous communities. The … Continue reading Rural America Tells Wind Industry to ‘Stick Its Turbines Where The Sun Don’t Shine’
No ‘Green’ New Deal: Rural America Rejects Wind Industry’s Community Wrecking Agenda
The wind industry’s efforts to destroy America’s rural communities have been brought to a shuddering halt. Across the States, well-organised pro-community and pro-reliable energy groups have won victory after victory, sending crony capitalists and subsidy-seeking carpetbaggers packing. That hard-working farmers and rural folk would reject the pitch that 600-700 foot high wind turbines and endless … Continue reading No ‘Green’ New Deal: Rural America Rejects Wind Industry’s Community Wrecking Agenda
Deathly Silence: Green Groups Complicit in Wind Industry’s Endangered Eagle Slaughter
So-called green groups that help cover up the wind industry’s rampant slaughter of birds and bats are just as guilty as those who directly profit from the carnage. A fair proportion of their practised acquiescence is explained by bags of cash - aka helpful “donations” from outfits such as NextEra to the likes of the … Continue reading Deathly Silence: Green Groups Complicit in Wind Industry’s Endangered Eagle Slaughter
The Hard Data: Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Inevitably Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
The relationship between rocketing power prices and heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar couldn’t be clearer. Every country that’s embarked on the so-called ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future is suffering from surging power prices. Add wind and solar generating capacity and watch power prices go into orbit, as … Continue reading The Hard Data: Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Inevitably Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
Plan to Fight/Fight to Win: Top Tips On How To Tackle Wind Developers Head On
Fighting back is the only way to tackle Big Wind when its goonish developers are threatening to wreck your community.

As a result, pro-community and pro-reliable energy groups are on the ascendant in the US. At … Continue reading Plan to Fight/Fight to Win: Top Tips On How To Tackle Wind Developers Head On
Hype-Dream: World’s Renewable Energy Storage Capacity Destined to Remain Totally Trivial
When they’re not bursting into toxic fireballs, the contribution made by giant lithium-ion batteries remains utterly trivial. They are, after all, electricity storage devices and don’t add a lick to electricity generation capacity, anywhere. The cost of battery storage, at scale, is out of all proportion to the benefits returned and we wouldn’t be having … Continue reading Hype-Dream: World’s Renewable Energy Storage Capacity Destined to Remain Totally Trivial
Democrat’s Green New Deal: Part Energy Fantasy/Part Economic Suicide Pact
Hubris and arrogance are essential character traits for those pretending that we’re well on our way to an all-wind and sun-powered future. Helpfully, the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine have exposed that whopping lie, for all to see. Energy self-reliance is back on the agenda, with a vengeance, and that means fossil fuels and nuclear … Continue reading Democrat’s Green New Deal: Part Energy Fantasy/Part Economic Suicide Pact
