Throwing their blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong to former Greens leaders, like Dr … Continue reading Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust

Want Safe, Reliable & Affordable Electricity? Then Start Thinking Nuclear, Right Now
The French get 70-80% of their power from nuclear plants and haven’t suffered so much as a scratch since they started in 1962. By contrast, the wind industry (which really only got off the ground in the late 1990s and still generates a trifling amount of electricity) has clocked up around 200 fatalities, (eg, see above) … Continue reading Want Safe, Reliable & Affordable Electricity? Then Start Thinking Nuclear, Right Now
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
How Long Do Wind Turbines Last? 10 Years or Until The Subsidies Run Out (Whichever Occurs First)
Wind power outfits still claim their turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years or more, needing little more than a hug from time to time. However, the operations and maintenance cost of these things, as reported by Australia's Infigen, is around $25 per MWh (hardly the zero marginal … Continue reading How Long Do Wind Turbines Last? 10 Years or Until The Subsidies Run Out (Whichever Occurs First)
Toxic Truth: Millions Of Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined For Landfills
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ are barely out of nappies, and yet they’re already responsible for a smorgasbord of toxic waste. The magnets in wind turbine generators are made from neodymium and dysprosium, rare earth minerals mined almost exclusively in China, which controls 95 percent of the world’s supply of rare earth minerals. The … Continue reading Toxic Truth: Millions Of Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined For Landfills
Setting It Straight: Nuclear Power Sets the Gold Standard For Safe & Reliable Power Generation
The French get 85% of their power from nuclear plants and haven’t suffered so much as a scratch since they started in 1962. By contrast, the wind industry (which really only got off the ground in the late 1990s and still generates a trifling amount of electricity) has clocked up around 190 fatalities, so far (eg, … Continue reading Setting It Straight: Nuclear Power Sets the Gold Standard For Safe & Reliable Power Generation
Turbine Terror: Truckers Face Life & Death Transporting Giant 60m Wind Turbine Blades
With wind turbine blades pushing 60 metres (197 feet) and weighing in at up to 20 tonnes, those that transport them for a living are dicing with death, on a daily basis. So far, the wind industry has clocked up 195 fatalities: 122 were wind industry and direct support workers (divers, construction, maintenance, engineers, etc), … Continue reading Turbine Terror: Truckers Face Life & Death Transporting Giant 60m Wind Turbine Blades
Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Giant industrial wind turbines with their 60m blade’s tips clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military has obtained legislation to prevent … Continue reading Off Radar: Weathermen Wild As Interference From Wind Turbines Wrecks Their Radar Signals
Top Secret Turmoil: Wind Industry Covering Up Catastrophic 300 Tonne Wind Turbine Collapses
While massive subsidies fuel the wind industry, self-generated myth and polished propaganda just grease the wheels. For wind industry spin-kings, one pesky problem that won’t go away is the routine and catastrophic collapses of these 300 tonne whirling wonders. Over the last few years, there have been hundreds of ‘structural failures’ - where either 10-15 … Continue reading Top Secret Turmoil: Wind Industry Covering Up Catastrophic 300 Tonne Wind Turbine Collapses
Surefire Safety: Nuclear Power Sets Benchmark for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
Climate alarmists railing about carbon dioxide gas and not talking about nuclear power generation, can’t be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the process. The fact that, among climate warriors, those seriously promoting nuclear power are few and far between, speaks volumes … Continue reading Surefire Safety: Nuclear Power Sets Benchmark for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
