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
Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More
With thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises washing up in areas given over to offshore wind turbines, the wind industry is having a hard time covering up its responsibility for the cetacean carnage. The relationship between offshore wind turbine construction noise and marine mammal fatalities is now incontrovertible: Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by … Continue reading Britain’s Killing Fields: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Whales, Dolphins & More
Impossible ‘Green’ Hydrogen Dream: Laws of Physics Bust Climate Cult’s Latest Energy Myth
As the grand wind and solar transition unravels, ‘green’ hydrogen is like the last redoubt - acolytes armed with little more than delusional mantras keep telling us that hydrogen gas - produced using nothing but electricity generated (occasionally) by wind turbines and solar panels - will not only solve their hopeless and chaotic intermittency, but … Continue reading Impossible ‘Green’ Hydrogen Dream: Laws of Physics Bust Climate Cult’s Latest Energy Myth
Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
The wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you have power, as long as the subsidies keep rolling in. The path to penury - aka the ‘grand renewable energy transition’ - is dimly lit and the future, darker still. But, so it is, when you pin your entire energy hopes on the wind and … Continue reading Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
