California’s wind power proponents promised a clean, green future - instead, they’ve delivered a wholesale environmental disaster. In the desert surrounding Ocotillo, locals have been putting up with wind turbines self-immolating, throwing their blades in all directions, leaking and spraying oil and collapsing to the desert floor, for years now (see our post here). Here’s … Continue reading Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
There is no market for power that cannot be delivered on demand. Which is why, in the absence of subsidies, there wouldn’t be a solar panel or wind turbine in sight. Sure, there are remote locations where a solar panel hooked up to a system of batteries and diesel generators make perfect economic sense. Here … Continue reading Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
Permanent Legacy: Wind Industry Plans to Abandon Millions of 500 Tonne Concrete Wind Turbine Bases
Decommissioning wind turbines at the end of their economic lifespan (which is around 10 to 15 years, not the 25 years touted by the wind industry) is one of those phenomenally expensive exercises that the wind power outfit itself will never willingly pay for. Already past their use-by date, thousands of these things around the … Continue reading Permanent Legacy: Wind Industry Plans to Abandon Millions of 500 Tonne Concrete Wind Turbine Bases
Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
Try living a day without a reliable power supply; then try living a life-time without it. If the doomsday cult that’s thrusting hopelessly unreliable and insanely expensive wind and solar down our throats had its way, then that’s what a future ‘civilisation’ will look like. For those not willing to make an immediate sacrifice to … Continue reading Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
‘Green’ Energy’s Epic Fail: Wind Gods Conspire to Ruin Europe’s Wind Power ‘Transition’
Europe’s ‘green’ energy transition has turned into high farce, with wind power output collapsing across the continent. The wind Gods are clearly angry. Britain and Germany have been in the doldrums for weeks; the gas needed to plug the gaps is in short supply, with the price of both gas and electricity, skyrocketing. The power … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Epic Fail: Wind Gods Conspire to Ruin Europe’s Wind Power ‘Transition’
Unnatural Environment: New University Study Nails Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
The wind industry has been lying for years about the nature and effects of wind turbine noise and they’ve paid acoustic consultants a veritable fortune to do so, on their behalf. It’s criminal, to be sure, and at a government-backed, corporate scale. However, slowly but surely, ethical researchers and experts are building a body of … Continue reading Unnatural Environment: New University Study Nails Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
DIY Light & Power: Home Generator Sales Soar, Thanks to America’s Wind & Solar Rush
People want power whenever they need it, not when the wind is blowing just right or the sun’s at its zenith in a cloudless sky. Any country that has added any significant wind and/or solar capacity to its grid is suffering increasing grid instability, load shedding aka ‘demand management’ (aka planned blackouts/brownouts) and mass blackouts. … Continue reading DIY Light & Power: Home Generator Sales Soar, Thanks to America’s Wind & Solar Rush
Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
Appears the climate doomsayers were right: the ‘Big Calm’ has struck Britain and Western Europe - slashing wind power output, without relent. Far from being the panacea for a changing climate, wind power generation is now, apparently, a victim. Over the last few months, wind power output has thoroughly collapsed in Germany, across Western Europe … Continue reading Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
Offshore Offside: Lawyers Line Up to Smash Atlantic Coast Wind Power Projects
Big-spending Joe Biden wants to squander untold $billions of taxpayer’s hard-earned on wind power, including thousands of turbines to be planted across the pristine and productive fisheries situated off the New England and mid-Atlantic coasts. Fishermen are, quite rightly, already up in arms, determined to prevent the mindless destruction of the marine environment and, with … Continue reading Offshore Offside: Lawyers Line Up to Smash Atlantic Coast Wind Power Projects
Nuclear’s Time is Now: Australian Voters Demand Nuclear Powered Future
Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country. A month back, Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison did a deal with the US and the UK which allows Australia to catch up and join the technological first world - via American or British … Continue reading Nuclear’s Time is Now: Australian Voters Demand Nuclear Powered Future
