RE rent seekers aren’t satisfied with $trillions in wind and solar subsidies, now they want $trillions for power grids to the middle of nowhere. The Australian wind industry has a habit of spearing its turbines way beyond the back of beyond. Increasingly remote wind farm locations require serious upgrades to transmission infrastructure, adding hundreds of $millions … Continue reading Lost in Transmission: Colossal Cost of Connecting Remote Wind & Solar

Trumping Turbines: Five Good Reasons to Hate Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
You don’t have to be a genius to work out that wind power is the greatest environmental and economic fraud of all time. President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump has been railing about it for years. And he keeps doing so. Much to the disgust and horror of his many detractors. … Continue reading Trumping Turbines: Five Good Reasons to Hate Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted
In the absence of subsidies there would not be a wind industry, period. As Warren Buffett said: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Indeed! Every wind turbine on earth could be sucked into … Continue reading Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted
The Sound of Silence: Iowa Farmers Cherish Peace & Quiet After Judge Shuts Down Wind Turbines
Anyone claiming that wind turbines are quiet has never lived with them in their backyards. A grinding, thumping cacophony of amplitude modulated low-frequency noise and infrasound is a daily misery for far too many rural residents. Back in December last year, we reported on a group of Iowa farmers who took on a developer and … Continue reading The Sound of Silence: Iowa Farmers Cherish Peace & Quiet After Judge Shuts Down Wind Turbines
Giant Ponzi Scam Busted: Renewable Energy Fraudster Trades ‘Green’ for Orange Prison Garb
Heavily subsidised wind and solar and a bevy of associated rorts and scams attract plenty of spivs, chancers and outright crooks.

Renewables Rejected: Community Backlash Forces Californian Counties to Ban Giant Wind & Solar Projects
Community hostility to industrial wind power is inevitable, when the community in question is the one that ends up with 300 tonne monsters speared in its backyard. The characters that never leave the inner-city latte zone are more than happy to destroy your rural landscape, your peaceful rural way of life and the value … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: Community Backlash Forces Californian Counties to Ban Giant Wind & Solar Projects
Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
The relationship between intermittent renewables and rocketing power prices is pretty obvious, just ask a Dane, German or South Australian. These joints have a couple of things in common: heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent renewable energy and the world’s highest power prices. That, well-settled, relationship is universal, as Fancis Menton documents below. How Much Do … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro
Give a sentient being a few moments of uninterrupted consideration and they’ll soon work out why wind power can never work. Start with the weather. No one plans a weekend kite flying expedition a month in advance. And circumnavigating sailors know not to announce their arrival date at the time of departure, for much the … Continue reading Pointless Power: Why Wind Power Can Never Replace Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro
Insidious Infrasound: Governments Blind to Residents Suffering From Wind Industry Torture

Over the last decade, the wind industry has ridden roughshod over the rights of law-abiding citizens to live peacefully in their very own homes. The battle that’s followed proves … Continue reading Insidious Infrasound: Governments Blind to Residents Suffering From Wind Industry Torture
Reaping the Whirlwind: Shutting Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia destroyed its last coal-fired power plant and now suffers the world’s highest power prices. Its economy is already a basket case, with much worse to come. However, RE zealots seem to treat SA in the same way that gamblers treat their losses: they never mention them, and … Continue reading Reaping the Whirlwind: Shutting Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
