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
If there’s one thing worse than the wind industry lying about the effects of incessant wind turbine noise and infrasound, it’s governments helping them do so. 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
Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind ‘industry’ would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply their … Continue reading Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
American Resistance: Rural Communities Reject Destructive & Disruptive Wind Power Projects
One wind industry myth is that farmers and families can’t wait to have 300 tonne wind turbines speared into their backyards. A raft of litigation, protests and open hostility to the wind industry, in general, and wind developers, in particular, suggests otherwise. As Robert Bryce details below, rural communities are not prepared to give up the … Continue reading American Resistance: Rural Communities Reject Destructive & Disruptive Wind Power Projects
American Wreckers: Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is an Economic Suicide Pact
Out to destroy an entire economy? Start with energy. South Australia did. A 50% RET delivers the world’s highest power prices and the chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left the wind and solar capital an international laughingstock. Frequent and mass power cuts, along with Australia’s only statewide blackout, helped on that score. … Continue reading American Wreckers: Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is an Economic Suicide Pact
Bill Gates Tackles Climate Barons: Getting Renewables & Batteries to Work Needs a ‘Miracle’

When we posted this story - Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’ - a couple of weeks back, listen they did - that post went viral with over 40,000 … Continue reading Bill Gates Tackles Climate Barons: Getting Renewables & Batteries to Work Needs a ‘Miracle’
Minnesota Meltdown: Farmers Declare Wind Farms a ‘No-Win’ for Rural America
Given the choice, no sentient being would ever tolerate an industrial wind turbine anywhere near their home or property. Merrily wrecking rural communities wherever it goes, the wind industry is facing real, red-blooded American resistance across the Midwest. In this piece from Minnesota’s The Globe, locals lament the day the wind industry rolled into … Continue reading Minnesota Meltdown: Farmers Declare Wind Farms a ‘No-Win’ for Rural America
