You’ve probably reached peak stupid when a troubled teenage girl gets to berate adults about global economic and energy policy, and a purportedly educated class sit awestruck, applauding in earnest. Greta the Fretter was front and centre in the (predictable) climate cult hysteria about the bushfires that have swept Australia this summer. Amongst renewable … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: High Time For Government to Grow Up and Back Nuclear Powered Future
Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke
Around the world, pliant governments allowed the wind industry to create utterly meaningless wind turbine noise ‘rules’ that allow wind power outfits to get away with murder. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a merciless, thumping, grinding cacophony of daily torment to families forced to live next to them. And if you think pocketing cash in … Continue reading Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke
Risible Renewables: World Finally Waking Up To Wind & Solar’s Nightmare of Nonsense
It’s 2020 and, if you believe the hype, we’re well on our way to an all wind and sun powered future. Except that - notwithstanding $trillions in subsidies, punitive mandates and punishing targets - the contribution of wind and solar to world energy demand remains risible. And - not simply because it’s fun to rain … Continue reading Risible Renewables: World Finally Waking Up To Wind & Solar’s Nightmare of Nonsense
New Normal: Brits Brace For More Routine Blackouts Thanks to Wind Power Obsession
If you’re pinning your power needs on the weather, then get set for mixed results. No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes alone; no country ever will. Those that are attempting to do so, in earnest, have come unstuck - eg Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia, the only Australian state … Continue reading New Normal: Brits Brace For More Routine Blackouts Thanks to Wind Power Obsession
Lying To Survive: Desperate Wind Industry Claims That Wind Power’s Both Reliable & Cheap Busted (Again)
The wind industry was built on lies and runs on subsidies. Spin doctors, practised in the fine art of deception, have been gainfully employed for almost 30 years in an effort to turn night into day, in order to keep the subsidies coming and to prevent them from ever being cut. Politicians and a gullible … Continue reading Lying To Survive: Desperate Wind Industry Claims That Wind Power’s Both Reliable & Cheap Busted (Again)
Game Changer: US Start-up’s Small Nuclear Plants to Make Big Difference to World’s Energy Future
Anyone banging on about carbon dioxide gas and climate change, and not promoting nuclear power, can’t be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the generation process. And, unlike chaotically intermittent wind and solar, it's available 24 x 365. That the world’s third largest … Continue reading Game Changer: US Start-up’s Small Nuclear Plants to Make Big Difference to World’s Energy Future
Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
If unreliable, weather-dependent wind power isn’t a recipe for disaster, it’s most certainly a recipe for chaos. Electricity grids are complex critters, designed around strict tolerances to allow what’s dispatched to them by generators (supply) to perfectly match what’s taken out of them by customers (demand aka ‘the load’). For an explanation of what a … Continue reading Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species
Following the cancellation of 758 wind projects in Ontario, its government has further delighted locals with the decision to revoke approval for the (almost complete) Nations Rise project, at North Stormont, near Ottawa. This time the decision announced by Jeff Yurek, Ontario’s Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks, was not one based purely on the … Continue reading Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species
Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
The silence from traditional conservation groups against the wind industry’s rampant bird slaughter is deafening. Once upon a time, hirsute, hair-shirted and sandal wearing tree huggers would die in a ditch to prevent harm to any of God’s other creatures. That was, of course, before industrial wind power hove into view. Groups like the Sierra … Continue reading Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
The wind industry in Germany is in freefall: in 2019 less than 200 turbines were erected onshore and a trifling 160 are planned for 2020, so far. Over the last two decades, heavily subsidised wind power outfits managed to spear almost 30,000 of these things across rural Germany. Driven mad by practically incessant, turbine generated … Continue reading Hush Money: Government Plans to Bribe German Families Complaining About Wind Turbine Noise to Quell Wind Farm Backlash
