Millions of ageing wind turbines and solar panels have passed their use by dates and are on their way to landfills near you. While steel, aluminium, copper and other metals can be scavenged from what’s left of a wind turbine carcass, the 10-30 tonne blades (filled with toxic Bisphenol-A) are simply cut up, crushed and … Continue reading Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You

Falsehoods & Fictions: Why Models Claiming Wind & Solar Are Cheap Don’t Stack Up
Wind and solar provide cheap electricity, until you start comparing them with every other power source available. The true cost of wind and solar is inextricably linked with the weather (in the case of wind power) and sunshine (in the case of solar power). A healthy snow dump knocks solar out of the competition just … Continue reading Falsehoods & Fictions: Why Models Claiming Wind & Solar Are Cheap Don’t Stack Up
Blade-Runners: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Discarded Turbine Blades Across America
Hundreds of thousands of wind turbine blades have already found their way into landfill, with millions more to follow. Bear in mind the wind industry has been with us for barely 20 years and most of the increase in (occasional) generating capacity has occurred in the last decade. And yet, thousands of blades are being … Continue reading Blade-Runners: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Discarded Turbine Blades Across America
Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
Dumping 45-60m long, 10-20 tonne turbine blades in landfills is a costly ‘solution’ that many wind power outfits seem keen to avoid. Back in August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine blades at three sites in Iowa. Global Fiberglass Solutions Inc had accumulated some 1,300 blades … Continue reading Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Mountains of Toxic Rubbish Dumped in Local Landfills
The millions of solar panels headed for landfill are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium, and heavy earth material. Then there’s the landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Mountains of Toxic Rubbish Dumped in Local Landfills
Unwanted Waste: Company Busted For Illegally Dumping Hundreds of Giant Wind Turbine Blades
Millions of industrial wind turbine blades are heading for landfill to become a toxic headache for future generations, all in the name of purportedly “saving the planet”. While dumping 45-60m long blades weighing between 10 and 20 tonnes in giant pits might seem like an easy solution, it’s a costly one that plenty of wind … Continue reading Unwanted Waste: Company Busted For Illegally Dumping Hundreds of Giant Wind Turbine Blades
New Green Deal Turns Sour: Counting Colossal Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
The true environmental and social cost of intermittent wind and solar is simply staggering. Millions of solar panels are already being dumped in landfill, and millions of nonrecyclable wind turbine blades are joining them; altogether creating a toxic legacy the generation who blindly championed so-called ‘green’ energy. A few posts back we carried a … Continue reading New Green Deal Turns Sour: Counting Colossal Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
Wasted Time: US Squanders Countless $Billions in Subsidies to Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Power consumption is a here and now kind of thing, so talk about wind power powering 100,000 homes is utter nonsense. To expose the lie, the inquisitive need only ask when, precisely? When will those 100,000 homes be powered in any meaningful sense by a power source that’s entirely dependent upon the vagaries of the … Continue reading Wasted Time: US Squanders Countless $Billions in Subsidies to Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
