These days the dark satanic mills are scorched wind turbines with their disintegrating blades flapping aimlessly in the breeze. Industrialising the countryside, destroying productive farming communities and wrecking the natural environment is all part and parcel of the great wind and solar ‘transition’. Then there’s the fact that these things are lucky to deliver power … Continue reading Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
Offshore Wind Industry Caught Lying About Toxic Sulfur Hexafluoride Use
The offshore wind industry is desperate to coverup its use of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) - a highly toxic and an extremely potent greenhouse gas. It’s critical as an insulating medium, used in the switchgear housed in the offshore and onshore substations necessary to get DC electricity generated miles offshore, back onshore. Bear in mind that … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Caught Lying About Toxic Sulfur Hexafluoride Use
Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
The massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar were deliberately designed to wreck coal-fired power generation - the cheapest and most reliable source of all - and that objective is well advanced in Australia. With the forced exit of another coal-fired generator the effect of a calm night (when the combined output of wind and … Continue reading Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities
Electric Vehicles running on wind and solar power captured and stored in lithium-ion batteries is all part of the grand ‘transition’, or so we’re told. Except when those batteries self-immolate, burn for days and spew out a deadly toxic plume that threatens anything but breaths for miles around. Not that the pyrotechnic mayhem attracts much … Continue reading EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities
Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction
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
