If the object was wrecking every last manufacturing, mineral processing and mining job, then Australia’s renewable energy policy has delivered on time and under budget. Starting in 2001 with John Howard’s Renewable Energy Target (massively expanded by Kevin Rudd in 2009), the subsidies being squandered on intermittent wind and solar are now in the order … Continue reading Wrecking Ball: Australia’s Fixation With Subsidised Renewables Guarantees Economic Disaster
Technology Tease: On The Cruel Promise of a Renewables/Hydrogen Fuelled Future
The wind and solar industries were built on lies, run on myth and are fuelled by subsidies, so the only way forward is more of the very same. It took politicians and punters around a decade to cotton on to the hopeless unreliability and chaotic intermittency of solar and wind power. Which required an … Continue reading Technology Tease: On The Cruel Promise of a Renewables/Hydrogen Fuelled Future
Power Politics: Want to Win Elections? Then Don’t Ignore Spiralling Electricity Prices
With Biden and the Squad in the White House, the Californian experience of spiralling power prices will soon be delivered to all Americans, thanks to a raft of suicidal renewable energy policies that are about to be landed across the USA. The energy hungry businesses and industries that Trump brought home, will soon start packing … Continue reading Power Politics: Want to Win Elections? Then Don’t Ignore Spiralling Electricity Prices
Inconvenient Truths: Spanish Solar Firm Slaughters 500 Native Deer to Make Way for Panels
The modern ‘green’ worships wind turbines and solar panels in the belief that they’re literally saving the planet, merrily ignoring the wave of environmental destruction wrought by their beloveds. Solar panels are pitched as the paragon of ‘green’ energy, silently caressing the sun’s rays to give off an occasional burst of power that someone, somewhere … Continue reading Inconvenient Truths: Spanish Solar Firm Slaughters 500 Native Deer to Make Way for Panels
Cruel & Unusual Punishment: 400 French Cows Succumb to Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration
Plenty of fiction is needed to explain away the health effects suffered by humans forced to live with incessant, wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Wind industry stooges reckon it must all be in their silly little heads. Except that there’s a veritable menagerie of less imaginative critters stuck next to these things, that … Continue reading Cruel & Unusual Punishment: 400 French Cows Succumb to Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration
Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are a fair indication of what happens when sound engineering gets trumped by woolly-headed ideology. An obsession with intermittent wind and solar left millions of Californians sweltering in the dark, and wind and solar spin doctors working overtime to shift the blame. The state-wide blackout that struck … Continue reading Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
European Emergency: Chaotic Wind & Solar Collapses Threaten Entire Europe-Wide Blackout
This winter is delivering wind and solar obsessed Europeans a banquet of consequences. Massive power price spikes in ‘wind powered’ Britain followed a period of dead calm, as the owners of Britain’s remaining dispatchable power plants cashed in: the wholesale price went from £40 to £4,000 per MWh. Across the ditch, a complete collapse in … Continue reading European Emergency: Chaotic Wind & Solar Collapses Threaten Entire Europe-Wide Blackout
Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Easily the most unhinged ‘renewable’ energy source is ‘biofuel’: a euphemism for the wholesale clearfelling and burning of forests in converted coal-fired power plants. Apparently, burning fossilised forests from the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago is a deadly sin against nature - all that carbon dioxide gas (that plants crave) must be doing someone … Continue reading Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Counting the Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar’s Toxic Legacy
Behind every smug Tesla driving show pony, there’s literally a toxic lake of sludge building up somewhere in another part of the world. Every wind turbine, every all EV and every solar panel critically depends upon a myriad of so-called ‘rare earths’. The minerals in question have become ‘rare’, of late, as a consequence of … Continue reading Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Counting the Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar’s Toxic Legacy
Fatal Attraction: Transport & Construction Workers Add to Wind Industry’s Mounting Death Toll
Claims that 300 tonne wind turbines are safe as houses fall hollow with each self-immolation, total collapse and ‘component liberation’ event. Far from being safe, clean and green, this is an industry that has already killed 200 people. By way of comparison, the French get 75-85% of their power from nuclear plants and haven’t suffered so much … Continue reading Fatal Attraction: Transport & Construction Workers Add to Wind Industry’s Mounting Death Toll
