Death by Numbers: Wind Industry Can’t Avoid Mounting Whale Carcass Count

The offshore wind industry is taking a pounding for its pointless slaughter of whales, dolphins and more. And rightly so.

And they’re growing hostility represent a whale-sized political problem for offshore wind. Once … Continue reading Death by Numbers: Wind Industry Can’t Avoid Mounting Whale Carcass Count

Reputation Shredded: Public Perception of Offshore Wind Industry Turns Totally Toxic

There’s a fury burning among America’s Atlantic coastal communities, and it’s all directed at the offshore wind industry. There hasn’t been a subject that has unified and directed anger among these communities like the foreign-owned and government-backed wind power outfits determined to destroy lives and livelihoods of those who depend on the sea. Wiping out … Continue reading Reputation Shredded: Public Perception of Offshore Wind Industry Turns Totally Toxic

Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation

These days the dark satanic mills are scorched wind turbines with their disintegrating blades flapping aimlessly in the breeze. Industrialising the countryside, destroying productive farming communities and wrecking the natural environment is all part and parcel of the great wind and solar ‘transition’. Then there’s the fact that these things are lucky to deliver power … Continue reading Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation

Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction

The wind and solar ‘industries’ are clear-felling ancient forests, bulldozing whole mountains, stripping the last remnants of fragile vegetation from deserts, killing endangered whales, eagles, bats and more, turning productive farmland into industrial wastelands and are being paid handsomely to do so by the governments you elect. Seems legit, right? As Bonner Cohan outlines below, … Continue reading Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction

Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More

With thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises washing up in areas given over to offshore wind turbines, the wind industry is having a hard time covering up its responsibility for the cetacean carnage. The relationship between offshore wind turbine construction noise and marine mammal fatalities is now incontrovertible: Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by … Continue reading Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More

Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts

Wind power is utterly pointless because it can’t be delivered on demand, which means there’s absolutely no justification for the offshore industry’s rampant whale slaughter. Anyone with a shred of empathy for charismatic marine mammals is entitled to consider what’s being done in the name of ‘saving the planet’ utterly criminal. And rightly so. The … Continue reading Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts

Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive

Here’s everything you wanted to know about offshore wind power, and it’s all bad. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. Then there’s the mounting and irreparable environmental harm - ecologically destructive and deadly to marine mammals, as well as fishing … Continue reading Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive

Wind Cult Ready to Rage: Trump Targets America’s Offshore Wind Scam

That Donald Trump inflames passions on the left is an understatement, but his plan to scrap America’s wind industry on day one if he takes office has rent-seekers and the wind cult in well-practised apoplexy. How dare anyone criticise an ‘industry’ that soaks up an endless stream of subsidies and can’t deliver electricity as and … Continue reading Wind Cult Ready to Rage: Trump Targets America’s Offshore Wind Scam

Licenced to Kill: Wind Industry’s Atlantic Whale Slaughter Gets New Govt. Greenlight

The wind industry’s licence to kill whales and other marine mammals is the perfect example of institutional corruption. As the cetacean carnage continues, one might think that the US government might pause (just for a moment) and consider revoking their ‘take permits’ - rather than simply continuing to green light the wind industry’s wholesale whale … Continue reading Licenced to Kill: Wind Industry’s Atlantic Whale Slaughter Gets New Govt. Greenlight

Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise

Try as they might, the offshore wind industry can’t conceal the fact that their construction operations are killing hundreds of whales, dolphins, seals and much, much more. The underwater cacophony created during offshore construction is laid out in Michael Shellenberger’s documentary Thrown To The Wind (see the video below) and this post: US Govt Lying … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise
