Australian voters just rejected a massive increase in wind and solar, relegating Bill Shorten and his 50% RET to the dusty pages of history. Having had 20 years or so to convince Australians of the purported ‘merits’ of throwing more than $4,000,000,000 in subsidies at chaotically intermittent wind and solar each year, the rent seekers … Continue reading Why Wind Power Can Never Work (Unless it’s Rocketing Power Prices & Environmental Destruction You’re After?)

Shredded: Wind Industry Safety Claims Shattered as Neighbours Face More Exploding Blades
Claims that 300 tonne turbines are safe as houses fall hollow with each self-immolation, total collapse and ‘component liberation’ event. This is an industry that’s killed around 230, so far. And, with events like the one laid out below, the ‘green’ energy death toll can only rise. Wind turbine heavily damaged in City of Kawartha … Continue reading Shredded: Wind Industry Safety Claims Shattered as Neighbours Face More Exploding Blades
Trumping Turbines: Five Good Reasons to Hate Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
You don’t have to be a genius to work out that wind power is the greatest environmental and economic fraud of all time. President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump has been railing about it for years. And he keeps doing so. Much to the disgust and horror of his many detractors. … Continue reading Trumping Turbines: Five Good Reasons to Hate Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Another Wind Power Fail: Stiff Breeze Flattens Giant Wind Turbine in New Mexico
How ironic it is that a wholly weather dependent power source has such a bitterly hard time coping with the ... ahem ... weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico in September 2017, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless for months: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves … Continue reading Another Wind Power Fail: Stiff Breeze Flattens Giant Wind Turbine in New Mexico
Locals Take Wind Industry to UN Over Its Destruction of Ontario’s Water Supply
The wind industry has all but destroyed water supplies in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. Hammering hundreds of giant steel piles (the foundations for 300 tonne turbines) into the aquifer across the county has turned once potable water into a grimy, toxic sludge. Locals are, justifiably, incensed. Losing their water supply would be bad enough, and being lied … Continue reading Locals Take Wind Industry to UN Over Its Destruction of Ontario’s Water Supply
Wind Energy: Part-Time Power – Full-Time Failure: Brand New Turbines Falling Apart
Wind power isn’t a serious energy source, it’s a serious joke. In the absence of massive subsidies, the wind industry wouldn’t exist. Battling to deliver part-time power, it’s been a full-time failure. Self-combusting, throwing 10 tonne blades to the four winds and dropping their 300 tonne hulks earthwards is just what these things do. But, … Continue reading Wind Energy: Part-Time Power – Full-Time Failure: Brand New Turbines Falling Apart
Inevitable Transition: End to Subsidies Spells Armageddon for Ageing Wind Turbines in Europe
With wind power subsidies drying up across Europe, the prospects for RE rent seekers look bleaker than ever. It seems like only yesterday, that we were told that wind power was cheaper than coal, sustainable and would power us into the next millennium. Indeed, the transition was meant to be ‘inevitable’. Meanwhile, back on Earth, … Continue reading Inevitable Transition: End to Subsidies Spells Armageddon for Ageing Wind Turbines in Europe
Wind Industry’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Trade on Endless Lies, Bullying & Deceit
In order to worm their way into rural communities, wind industry goons employ a mix of varnished lies, deceit and old-school thuggery. Over the last decade, wind power outfits have been able to beguile the gullible and hoodwink the unsuspecting. They usually start with a colossal lie and work up from there. However, as soon … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Trade on Endless Lies, Bullying & Deceit
Wind Turbines: Safe, Clean & Green? Yeah, Right …
The spontaneous combustion of 300 tonne wind turbines, showering the earth with a toxic cocktail of molten-fibreglass and flaming lubricants is one of those tricky PR problems for big wind. On every occasion that one of these whirling wonders burst into flames, locals are told them it’s a rare and unusual event, never likely to … Continue reading Wind Turbines: Safe, Clean & Green? Yeah, Right …
Industrialised Landscapes & Battered Communities Drive German Backlash Against Big Wind
Germany’s wind power obsession has turned picture postcard landscapes into alien, industrial war zones - of the kind dreamt up by futurist HG Wells. In the beginning, carpetbaggers, rent seekers and their eco-zealot, shock troops sold the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future as an ecological idyll. Except, the reality has fallen … Continue reading Industrialised Landscapes & Battered Communities Drive German Backlash Against Big Wind
