The wind and solar ‘industries’ are clear-felling ancient forests, bulldozing whole mountains, stripping the last remnants of fragile vegetation from deserts, killing endangered whales, eagles, bats and more, turning productive farmland into industrial wastelands and are being paid handsomely to do so by the governments you elect. Seems legit, right? As Bonner Cohan outlines below, … Continue reading Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction
What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
The way the wind cult tells it, you’d think these things were made in heaven using moonbeams and fairy dust. The reality is altogether more industrial. Every wind turbine is the product of a myriad of minerals consumed in enormous quantities, along with staggering amounts of energy needed to combine them all into a machine … Continue reading What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
It’s a challenge to distill any sensible narrative from the grand wind and solar transition. The subtext is always and everywhere about deflecting attention from their natural incapacity to deliver power as and when it’s needed. Also known as the ‘hopeless intermittency problem’. The ‘answers’ pitched up seem only limited by the rather fertile (albeit … Continue reading Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance
There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce in the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost … Continue reading Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance
Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
For almost 40 years, wind and solar proponents have been telling us that the subsidies they rely on are only temporary. Which most understood to mean a few years, at most. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that wind power would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end … Continue reading Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear works: all day, every day, whatever the weather, no need for batteries and no need for back up. Whereas, wind and solar … well, you know the rest. Incapable of delivering power on demand, the only ‘benefit’ claimed by the wind and sun cult is that wind and solar power purportedly eliminate carbon dioxide … Continue reading Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Private Property: Wind & Solar Outfits Have No Right to Destroy Your Community
That hard-working farmers and rural folk reject the ‘opportunity’ to be overrun by giant industrial wind turbines and endless seas of solar panels is no surprise. Why would anyone in their senses welcome the single most destructive force into their communities: subsidised wind and solar. Peaceful, prosperous and productive farming communities worked out long ago … Continue reading Private Property: Wind & Solar Outfits Have No Right to Destroy Your Community
Wind Turbines Either Kill Birds & Bats Outright Or Drive Them From Their Natural Habitats
Bird lovers are slowly waking up to the wind industry’s rampant habitat destruction and mass slaughter of the creatures they love so much. Wiping out pristine rainforest is met with a shrug by armchair environmentalists; and piles of rotting bird and bat carcasses barely raise an eyebrow among inner-city ‘Greens’. But those who frequent what’s … Continue reading Wind Turbines Either Kill Birds & Bats Outright Or Drive Them From Their Natural Habitats
No Go Zones: How The Wind Industry Has Wrecked Rural Communities Everywhere
Abandoning perfectly habitable homes to escape neighbouring industrial wind turbine aggregations is a serious response aimed at avoiding a perpetually miserable future. Being deprived of the opportunity to live, sleep in and otherwise enjoy one’s own home is bad enough. Losing that fundamental proprietary (indeed human) right without compensation is criminal - the perpetrators are … Continue reading No Go Zones: How The Wind Industry Has Wrecked Rural Communities Everywhere
No Upside: Adding More & More Wind Turbines Means Less & Less Power Generated
It’s no mystery that wind power generation depends on the wind. Less apparent is the fact that adding more turbines in a given location means less power gets generated, overall. The law of diminishing returns applies with a real vengeance when turbulence from upwind turbines ruins the ability of their downwind brethren to generate power, … Continue reading No Upside: Adding More & More Wind Turbines Means Less & Less Power Generated
