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

Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
These things have a nasty habit of self-destructing without notice - whether it’s shredding and/or throwing their blades for miles, or spontaneously combusting in toxic fireballs, the environmental damage done is immediate and often permanent. In a recent post - Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless - we covered the story … Continue reading Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless
Farmers foolish enough to enter contracts with wind power outfits soon live to regret it. Having their land permanently contaminated by shredded fibreglass when turbines explode into balls of flame and/or their blades merely disintegrate (known in the trade as “component liberation”) is just one of a list of disasters waiting to happen. At first … Continue reading Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless
Scorched Earth Policy: Wind and Solar Transition Wrecking The Environment & The Economy
Stripped to its core, the wind and solar ‘transition’ is all about trashing the environment and the economy, simultaneously. Incapable of delivering reliable and affordable power as and when we need it, and accordingly driving up the cost of the stuff that can be delivered on demand, power prices inevitably rocket out of control - … Continue reading Scorched Earth Policy: Wind and Solar Transition Wrecking The Environment & The Economy
Towering Infernos: The Wind Industry Keeps Delivering World-Class Pyrotechnics
Fireworks and pyrotechnics events cost serious money, but locals can ‘enjoy’ giant wind turbines self-immolate for free. Sure, it’s safer to stand up wind and avoid the plumes of toxic smoke. But there’s something almost attractive about watching these things fire up and disintegrate in a molten, smoky fury. Of course this is one of … Continue reading Towering Infernos: The Wind Industry Keeps Delivering World-Class Pyrotechnics

Dump & Run: Thousands of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades Pile Up Across America
Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. Then there are scammers like Global Fiberglass Solutions Inc which makes claims about recycling dumped blades, notwithstanding there is no market for ground up toxic waste, funnily enough. Principal among the toxic agents to be found … Continue reading Dump & Run: Thousands of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades Pile Up Across America
Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’
Call wind and solar whatever you like, but there’s simply no rational basis to call them ‘clean’ or ‘green’. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent – after a decade or … Continue reading Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’
Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades are headed for landfills near you, and thousands more are being dumped illegally, right next door. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. In August 2021, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally … Continue reading Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Pyrotechnic Pandemonium: Wind Turbines Can’t Help Exploding In Toxic Fireballs
Wind turbines love exploding into toxic fireballs that firefighters don’t even bother putting out. It’s a case of burn, baby burn when these things self-immolate. The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has caused insurers to ramp up the premiums they require to insure them. Understandably, neighbours are getting … Continue reading Pyrotechnic Pandemonium: Wind Turbines Can’t Help Exploding In Toxic Fireballs
