Wind power is a problem without a solution. Output collapses when breezes turn to zephyrs and when bluster turns to a gale: wind turbines automatically shut off as wind speeds reach 25 m/s (90km/h, 55mp/h or 48 knots). As South Australians found out on 28 September 2016 - when the whole State went black, … Continue reading Dead End Power Trip: Land Hungry Wind Power Always a Problem & Never a Solution

Hot Stuff: Instead of Cooling the Planet, Harvard Studies Find Wind Turbines Raise Local Temperatures by 1.5°C
As the mantra has it, wind turbines are the perfect panacea for rising temperatures. Panic has spread about the planet’s temperature rising a couple of notches (apparently an increase of just 1.5°C means instant disaster and pumping it up by 2°C means an irreversible catastrophe). Now it seems that these things are playing their part … Continue reading Hot Stuff: Instead of Cooling the Planet, Harvard Studies Find Wind Turbines Raise Local Temperatures by 1.5°C
Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Wind power is utterly pointless on every level, having been abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, starting with the weather. The oft heard retort from those fighting the prospect of wind turbines being speared into their backyards, is “why don’t they put them offshore?” These are the characters who are simply too gutless to … Continue reading Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Scoundrel’s Paradise: Subsidised Wind & Solar The Greatest Scam on Earth
The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And when we say money, we mean hundreds of billions of dollars of other people’s money. In Australia alone, the Federal Government’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target will redirect over $60 billion in subsidies to wind and large-scale solar operators (all … Continue reading Scoundrel’s Paradise: Subsidised Wind & Solar The Greatest Scam on Earth
‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Wind Industry’s American Victims Monitored for Infrasound Effects on Heart & Health
STT recently reported on the German government’s efforts to erase data that shows residents are exposed to levels of wind turbine infrasound dangerous to health. Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine noise mounts by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Guinea Pigs: Wind Industry’s American Victims Monitored for Infrasound Effects on Heart & Health
Iowa Farmers Claim Brilliant Victory: Judge Orders Immediate Destruction of Illegal Wind Turbines
For too long the wind industry has owned the game. Now, increasingly furious communities are fighting back and they are winning. Driven nuts by noise and shadow flicker, neighbours are no longer prepared to act as doormats or roadkill for a subsidy-soaked industry run by liars, frauds and sociopaths. A group of farmers from … Continue reading Iowa Farmers Claim Brilliant Victory: Judge Orders Immediate Destruction of Illegal Wind Turbines
Never Economic, Never Competitive: Wind Industry Built on Lies & Runs on Subsidies
The wind industry has been firmly attached the subsidy teat for more than 30 years. Talk about being competitive with conventional generators is patent nonsense: cut the subsidies and this so-called ‘industry’ would disappear in a heartbeat. Whether it’s in Western Victoria, South Australia or in the midwest of the USA, wind power is always … Continue reading Never Economic, Never Competitive: Wind Industry Built on Lies & Runs on Subsidies
Powerful Nonsense: Even With Mythical Mega-Batteries 100% Renewable Energy Remains 100% Fantasy
No country has ever powered itself entirely on sunshine and breezes. But that doesn’t deter the delusional from claiming it can be done. With the kind of fanatical zeal that led to virgins being thrown into volcanoes, politicians announce their commitment to an all sun and wind powered future, as if such a thing was … Continue reading Powerful Nonsense: Even With Mythical Mega-Batteries 100% Renewable Energy Remains 100% Fantasy
Noise Affected Neighbours Fightback: Wind Industry Can’t Treat Homeless Victims as ‘Collateral Damage’
Life next to industrial wind turbines is a living hell for far too many rural residents. Practically incessant turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound drives neighbours nuts, preventing them from sleeping in – and otherwise enjoying the comforts of – their very own homes. An Australian Court found long-term exposure to wind turbine noise to … Continue reading Noise Affected Neighbours Fightback: Wind Industry Can’t Treat Homeless Victims as ‘Collateral Damage’
Industrial Onslaught: Wind Turbines The Gold Standard in Rural Community Destruction
The furious reaction that erupts whenever wind developers turn up in peaceful rural communities is now one of life’s immutable laws. Across the Land of the Free, there is a seething tide of frustration and anger that has seen thousands of community defenders rally in order to keep it that way; from Arkansas to Ohio … Continue reading Industrial Onslaught: Wind Turbines The Gold Standard in Rural Community Destruction
