Troubled teenagers demanding an all wind and sun powered future are setting themselves up for an almighty toxic shock, with hundreds of millions of wind turbine blades destined for landfill. As Steve St. Angelo reports from the USA, wind turbine blades are non-recyclable due to the fact that they are a complex composite of highly … Continue reading Toxic Shock: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Leave Poisoned Landfill Legacy For Generations To Come
Rusting Monuments to Stupidity: Staggering Cost of Cleaning Up the Wind Industry’s Giant Mess
The wind industry is like the partying college students that trash their parent’s house, never sparing a thought about cleaning up the mess afterwards. With subsidies being slashed across the globe, the great wind industry ‘party’ will inevitably draw to a close. And the adults will need to raise the tricky issue about who cleans … Continue reading Rusting Monuments to Stupidity: Staggering Cost of Cleaning Up the Wind Industry’s Giant Mess
Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Courts that aren’t biased in favour of the wind industry are rare birds, indeed. Slowly but surely, however, the law is catching up with the scope and scale of the environmental and societal harm caused whenever these things get speared into rural communities, farmland and forests. Ireland is no exception. The Emerald Isle has been … Continue reading Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Once upon a time, electricity had a value defined by demand, not by the weather. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has absolutely no commercial value. Which brings us to weather-dependent wind power; generated in chaotic, random intervals, it’s a case of either feast or famine. But businesses and households don’t … Continue reading Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar means not only spiralling retail power prices, but guarantees widespread load shedding (aka “demand management”) and blackouts (‘demand mismanagement’), whenever demand peaks and wind and solar output collapses around sunset and calm weather. The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And … Continue reading Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
Sunset Industry: US Taxpayers Liable As Giant Solar-Thermal Power Plant (Crescent Dunes) Goes Bankrupt
US taxpayers are on the hook for hundreds of $millions following the spectacular financial collapse of the world’s biggest solar-thermal power plant, Crescent Dunes, situated in the Nevada desert, north-west of Las Vegas. South Australians (victims of their government’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar) can count themselves lucky that they didn’t end … Continue reading Sunset Industry: US Taxpayers Liable As Giant Solar-Thermal Power Plant (Crescent Dunes) Goes Bankrupt
Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
There’s something altogether cynical about well-healed nations forcing the impoverished to embrace expensive and unreliable wind and solar. It is, of course, all done in the name of ‘saving the planet’. [Note to Ed: Not to mention saving the manufacturers of industrial wind turbines and solar panels, who are struggling back home]. As any economist … Continue reading Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
Australia’s Energy Crisis: High Time For Government to Grow Up and Back Nuclear Powered Future
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
