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

Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse

Europe’s wind and solar industries are on the ropes, thanks to the sudden embrace of ever-reliable nuclear power across the Continent. Producing machines that can never produce power on demand was always going to end in tears. But moves to amp up construction of nuclear power plants - initiated by the French and followed by … Continue reading Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse

Oil & Gas Producers Making Massive Profits From Intermittent Wind & Solar

Oil and gas producers are making a killing thanks to chaotically intermittent wind and solar, providing fuel to run gas and diesel generators as so-called ‘backup’. Mike Holly apparently doesn’t like monopolies and has a set against hydrocarbons. However, he makes a fair point targeting oil and gas producers making a killing every time wind … Continue reading Oil & Gas Producers Making Massive Profits From Intermittent Wind & Solar

Sunset & Calm Weather Reveal Wind and Solar’s Inherent & Fatal Flaw

If a 9-year-old proposed wind and solar as a generation system, you’d give her a gold star but tell her to do better next time. You’d go on to explain that electricity is needed around-the-clock, irrespective of the weather, and that households and businesses want to operate without interruption. Your tutorial on energy supply and … Continue reading Sunset & Calm Weather Reveal Wind and Solar’s Inherent & Fatal Flaw

Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts

Wind power is utterly pointless because it can’t be delivered on demand, which means there’s absolutely no justification for the offshore industry’s rampant whale slaughter. Anyone with a shred of empathy for charismatic marine mammals is entitled to consider what’s being done in the name of ‘saving the planet’ utterly criminal. And rightly so. The … Continue reading Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts

Project Prosperity: New Nuclear Age Heralds Cheap & Reliable Power Forever

The human-hating troglodytes who want us to freeze in the dark and eat bugs for breakfast, hate nuclear power - with a passion. Their unhinged antipathy towards the safest, most reliable and affordable power generation system there is, can be traced to the notion that cheap and abundant energy naturally leads to peace and prosperity, … Continue reading Project Prosperity: New Nuclear Age Heralds Cheap & Reliable Power Forever

Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass

These things have a nasty habit of self-destructing without notice - whether it’s shredding and/or throwing their blades for miles, or spontaneously combusting in toxic fireballs, the environmental damage done is immediate and often permanent. In a recent post - Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless - we covered the story … Continue reading Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
