The wanton destruction of Germany’s ancient forests has brought its faux Greens head to head with those who actually care about the environment. The once pleasant green vistas that defined Germany’s landscape have made way for more than 30,000 of these things. And to do so, the German wind industry has been carving up wood … Continue reading Wind Industry’s New Wave of ‘Green’ Destruction: German Forests Face Wholesale Wipe-Out
Nuclear Power: The Long-Term Solution to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Calamity
Thanks to an obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Australians face another summer of planned power rationing (aka ‘load shedding’) and the unplanned kind (aka ‘mass blackouts’). Cue the first long, hot spell in January, when power demand spikes as ACs get cranked into action to cool homes and businesses and refrigerated systems have to … Continue reading Nuclear Power: The Long-Term Solution to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Calamity
Norway Says ‘No Way’: Norwegian Government Faces Furious Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
Pollster’s claims about everyone being in favour of wind power hit a brick wall just as soon as wind turbines get speared into their backyards. Funny about that. Delivering a grinding, thumping, pulsing cacophony of low-frequency noise; destroying bog lands, waterways and poisoning underground water supplies; throwing 15 tonne blades to the four winds; sparking … Continue reading Norway Says ‘No Way’: Norwegian Government Faces Furious Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
Out of Sight: What to Do With Germany’s 1.35 Million Tonnes of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades?
The rush to an all wind and sun powered future has left Germans sensing the kind of regret that comes with youthful exuberance - something about acting in haste and repenting at leisure springs to mind. Having carpeted Deutschland with more than 30,000 of these things over the last 20 years, many of them are … Continue reading Out of Sight: What to Do With Germany’s 1.35 Million Tonnes of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades?
New Bog Standard: Irish Wind Industry Turning Emerald Isle Into Filthy Quagmire
The wind industry is relentlessly ploughing up Irish fields and peat bogs, leaving a filthy wake of destruction in its path. The Irish government (read 'taxpayer') was whacked with a €5 million fine when a mudslide caused by one wind power outfit's construction operations unleashed a filthy torrent into a nearby river, wiping out tens … Continue reading New Bog Standard: Irish Wind Industry Turning Emerald Isle Into Filthy Quagmire
RE Reckoning: Germans Suffer Europe’s Highest Power Prices – 300,000 Families Can’t Afford Electricity
If ever there was an example of what follows from an obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Germany has to be it. No country went harder or faster than Germany did, when it came to carpeting its landscape with solar panels and wind turbines. The results have been an unmitigated disaster. In the … Continue reading RE Reckoning: Germans Suffer Europe’s Highest Power Prices – 300,000 Families Can’t Afford Electricity
Some Transition!: Europe’s Power Prices Rocket Whenever the Sun Sets & Calm Weather Sets In
Europe’s ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar is not looking so ‘inevitable’, after all. A burst of cold, calm weather has grid managers panicking as to where their next megawatt might come from. Those opportunistic ‘devils’ who command reliable, fossil-fuelled power generation sources are making out like veritable bandits. While power punters are bracing … Continue reading Some Transition!: Europe’s Power Prices Rocket Whenever the Sun Sets & Calm Weather Sets In
Irony Alert: Britain’s Coal Power Plants Outperform Wind Power During “UK Wind Week”!
The British are masters of irony. Fitting then that during what was declared as ‘UK Wind Week’ its wind power output was utterly risible. Fitting too that it follows Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson’s announcement that he plans to run Britain entirely on breezes by the end of the decade. In an apparent contest of one-upmanship, … Continue reading Irony Alert: Britain’s Coal Power Plants Outperform Wind Power During “UK Wind Week”!
Familiar Territory: Chief Minister Busted Lying About Staggering Cost of Renewable Energy Roadmap
Shamelessly promoting unreliable renewable energy is one thing, but barefaced lying about its cost, is quite another. Wherever wind and solar make up any significant proportion of a power supply, retail power prices soon rocket. Rising power prices are the guaranteed consequence of duplicating capital costs; additional system costs - including the greater need … Continue reading Familiar Territory: Chief Minister Busted Lying About Staggering Cost of Renewable Energy Roadmap
Massive & Endless Subsidies Destroy Claim That Wind & Solar Cheapest Of All
In the ‘pigs might fly category’ sits the claim that intermittent wind and solar are the cheapest power sources, amongst all contenders. Were there even a shred of truth to that story, then renewable energy rent seekers wouldn’t be hounding policymakers at every turn to ensure that the massive subsidies they currently enjoy be guaranteed … Continue reading Massive & Endless Subsidies Destroy Claim That Wind & Solar Cheapest Of All
