The great wind power fraud depends on unwitting land owners signing up to host turbines, on the promise of hassle-free 'easy' money, which in turn requires them to sell their souls to charming wind power outfits like Thailand’s RATCH (see our posts here and here and here). No turbine hosts; no wind industry. It's that simple. Farmers who do … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt

Safety Claims Incinerated: Locals Smothered With Toxic Smoke From Burning Wind Turbines
When 300-tonne wind turbines spontaneously explode into giant toxic fireballs, locals have more contend with than the risk of bushfires (or ‘wildfires’ as Americans call them). Packed with flammable and toxic oils, plastics, fibreglass and low-ignition point metals, like aluminium, when one of these things spontaneously bursts into flames, everybody for miles around knows all … Continue reading Safety Claims Incinerated: Locals Smothered With Toxic Smoke From Burning Wind Turbines
Ugly Truth: Wind & Solar Delivering Environmental Destruction On Grand Global Scale
It's getting harder to ignore the thousands of wind turbine blades and millions of solar panels piling up in landfills, leaving an already mountainous and growing toxic waste legacy for future generations to deal with. In 2023, anyone still touting the putative benefits of wind and solar is either suffering from a form of blissful … Continue reading Ugly Truth: Wind & Solar Delivering Environmental Destruction On Grand Global Scale
‘Renewables’ Reality Check: Exposing Filthy Truth About Our Wind & Solar Powered ‘Nirvana’
Pull the curtain back on the wind and solar ‘industries’ and you’re in for a filthy and even toxic surprise. Do a little digging, so to speak, and you’ll soon understand that there is absolutely nothing ‘green’ about wind and solar power or, more precisely, what goes into making 300 tonne wind turbines and their … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Reality Check: Exposing Filthy Truth About Our Wind & Solar Powered ‘Nirvana’
Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine Blades
For a taste of your wind 'powered' future, look no further than the Scottish Highlands - where some 4,500 of these things have polluted a once majestic landscape. Traverse any Highland Glen these days in the hope of finding peace and tranquillity, and you’ll be hard-pressed to avoid Scotland’s hundreds of wind factories and their … Continue reading Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine Blades
‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics
Sure, the millions of wind turbine blades headed for landfill will leave a toxic legacy for centuries to come, but these things create an even more immediate threat. Their 40-90m blades naturally erode during operation, spreading tonnes of microplastics far and wide. The epoxy compounds they shed contain toxins that are finding their way into … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics
Planet Strippers: Amazon’s Balsa Forests Being Raped To Make Wind Turbine Blades
Stripping the Amazon basin’s forests of balsa to make wind turbine blade is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition. So is turning rural China into a toxic industrial wasteland (see above). Giant industrial wind turbines comprise hundreds of tonnes of steel, aluminium, plastics, copper and rare earths used in the generator’s magnets. There is also … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Amazon’s Balsa Forests Being Raped To Make Wind Turbine Blades
New Sustainability Standard: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Thousands of Turbine Blades
As hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades head for landfills near you, thousands more are being dumped illegally. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. Last August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine … Continue reading New Sustainability Standard: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Thousands of Turbine Blades
Toxic Blade Time Bomb: New Study Exposes Scale of Wind Industry’s Poisonous Plastics Legacy
Landfills are the final destination for millions of worn-out wind turbine blades, where their toxic plastics will be left to rot for the ‘benefit’ of generations to come. These 10-20 tonne, 40-60m long chunks of plastic, fibreglass, balsa wood and resins can’t be recycled, so the wind industry has been dumping them quietly for years … Continue reading Toxic Blade Time Bomb: New Study Exposes Scale of Wind Industry’s Poisonous Plastics Legacy
