Wind and solar are not just costly they are entirely useless. Never in the field of energy generation has so much been spent, by so many, for so little return. Forget the colossal and endless subsidies, forget the community division, forget the environmental destruction and landfills full of toxic blades and panels and start with … Continue reading Fake ‘Green’ Energy: So Much Spent On Wind & Solar For So Little Return

Another Summer of Discontent: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Scrambling for Reliable Power
The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are back with a vengeance; another heatwave, another scramble for reliable power. The power rationing debacle that is plaguing Californians once again, is precisely what you’d expect when woolly-headed thinking overtakes sound engineering. The state-wide blackout that struck in mid-August 2020, was put down by officials to … Continue reading Another Summer of Discontent: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Scrambling for Reliable Power
Not In Anyone’s Backyard: Rural Americans Winning the Battle Against Industrial Wind Power
The only way to prevent industrial wind power destroying your community is to fight, and that’s exactly what Americans are doing across its heartland. Applying pressure to local governments and authorities, rural Americans are getting them onside and against the wind industry, with hundreds of projects rejected. Robert Bryce has been following this battle for … Continue reading Not In Anyone’s Backyard: Rural Americans Winning the Battle Against Industrial Wind Power
‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ will last for as long as the subsidies keep flowing, and not one second more. Every time the subsidy reins get tightened, the rent seekers howl, claiming that they need them to run for just that little bit longer. Notwithstanding repeatedly crowing about wind and solar already being cheaper … Continue reading ‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies
Hacked Off: Giant Texan Wind Farm Project Axed Due to CCP Spying & Grid Hacking Threat
Faced with the threat of Chinese Communist Party hackers infiltrating and wrecking its grid, Texan legislators have just scotched a giant wind farm project. CCP backed hackers messing around with an individual wind turbine is one thing, but bringing down an entire power grid is quite another. And that’s the very risk that ought to … Continue reading Hacked Off: Giant Texan Wind Farm Project Axed Due to CCP Spying & Grid Hacking Threat
Punishing Price Tag: Countless Trillions Being Squandered On Unreliable Wind & Solar
There’s a complete reality disconnect among those peddling the ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future: physics, engineering and economics hardly feature in their starry-eyed worldview. So much is evident in the latest policy must have - the net-zero carbon dioxide emissions target. Put aside the fact that it’s yet another opportunity … Continue reading Punishing Price Tag: Countless Trillions Being Squandered On Unreliable Wind & Solar
Californian Cover-up: Evidence Reveals Unreliable Renewables Causing California’s Summer-time Blackouts
The pro wind and solar camp have made every effort to conceal the cause of mass blackouts in California, Texas, Germany and South Australia. With a pliant mainstream press complicit in the cover-up, it’s little wonder that the average Joe has no idea what’s going on. Well, that’s what sites like STT and Master Resource … Continue reading Californian Cover-up: Evidence Reveals Unreliable Renewables Causing California’s Summer-time Blackouts
Transmission Break: Frequently Faulty Cables Costing Offshore Wind Power Generators Hundreds of $Millions
Turns out offshore wind power is more financial heartbreak than cash cow. Thanks to the phenomenal cost of repairing its undersea cables, Denmark’s Orsted is literally bleeding cash. The cost of fixing faulty cables connecting their turbines to each other and transmission facilities onshore is already in the hundreds of $millions, and set to rise … Continue reading Transmission Break: Frequently Faulty Cables Costing Offshore Wind Power Generators Hundreds of $Millions
Calculated Destruction: California’s $5 Trillion Plan to Wreck Its Power Grid With 100% Wind & Solar
California is synonymous with rocketing power prices and mass summer blackouts, courtesy of subsidised wind and solar. Last summer, whenever periods of peak demand coincided with sunset and calm weather, millions were plunged into sweltering darkness. But, for Californians, that indignity was simply a taste of things to come. That’s if California is truly serious … Continue reading Calculated Destruction: California’s $5 Trillion Plan to Wreck Its Power Grid With 100% Wind & Solar
Biden’s Rapacious ‘Green’ Dream: Green New Deal Devouring World’s Rare Earth Minerals
Clean’, ‘green’ wind and solar were meant to save the planet, but the obsession with the unreliables will only expedite its consumption. Every solar panel and every wind turbine are an aggregation of minerals, requiring mountains of real energy in their creation. Many of those minerals are scarce, generally referred to as “rare earths”. Thanks … Continue reading Biden’s Rapacious ‘Green’ Dream: Green New Deal Devouring World’s Rare Earth Minerals
