Getting into bed with wind developers is never going to end well. For its troubles, the Irish government has just been whacked with a €5m fine for failing to enforce its own environmental standards at a wind farm near Derrybrien, County Galway. During construction, the developer managed to wipeout half a mountain, sending a sea … Continue reading Irish Government Slammed with €5m Fine Over Wind Farm’s Environmental Disaster
Cuomo’s Cover-Up: Colossal Cost of New York’s Wind Power Subsidies Finally Revealed
The wind industry is built on lies and runs on subsidies. But, in a rare turn of events, an effort to cover up the cost of those subsidies has come unstuck, in grand style. Initially, Andrew Cuomo’s cronies put forward a lowball figure for the cost of subsidies to wind power in New York State, … Continue reading Cuomo’s Cover-Up: Colossal Cost of New York’s Wind Power Subsidies Finally Revealed
Peoples’ Revolt: Hawaiians Join International Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
The wind industry has never had it so tough; subsidies are being slashed, destroying their ‘business’ model and rural communities are in full-scale revolt, sick of being treated as ‘roadkill’. No matter where the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade, rural folk soon turn hostile. The German wind industry is at a standstill, not only … Continue reading Peoples’ Revolt: Hawaiians Join International Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
Blackout Refugees: Businesses Plan Summer Escape From Victoria’s Renewable Energy Chaos
Pin your power needs to the weather and expect results to vary. Last summer saw mass load shedding and blackouts across Victoria, South Australia and NSW, when spikes in demand combined with collapses in wind and solar output. Demand patterns are as predictable as the delivery in wind and solar are chaotic. That chaos is … Continue reading Blackout Refugees: Businesses Plan Summer Escape From Victoria’s Renewable Energy Chaos
Summer Blackouts Beckon: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Won’t Be Fixed with Batteries
Almost as soon as Joe Public worked out that wind and solar can never work, RE rent seekers started babbling about giant batteries saving the day. STT will keep smashing the line about giant batteries overcoming the chaotic delivery of wind and solar, while RE zealots keep pushing it. The pitch from RE zealots is … Continue reading Summer Blackouts Beckon: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Won’t Be Fixed with Batteries
Renewable Wreckage: Texas Town’s Push for 100% Wind & Solar Sends Prices Into Orbit
The wind may be free and the sun, when it’s shining, doesn’t cost a penny. But wind and solar literally cost the earth. Put aside the wholesale slaughter of birds, bugs and bats; the destruction of idyllic landscapes and once bustling communities, with residents driven out of their homes by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise … Continue reading Renewable Wreckage: Texas Town’s Push for 100% Wind & Solar Sends Prices Into Orbit
Filthy Future: Millions of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades To Be Shredded & Sent to Landfills
While the wind industry works overtime to bury a range of inconvenient facts, it’s actually burying millions of tons of toxic waste, among a list of other environmental sins. Wind turbines don’t run on wind, they run on subsidies: cut the subsidies and once these things inevitably grind to a halt, they’ll never be replaced. … Continue reading Filthy Future: Millions of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades To Be Shredded & Sent to Landfills
Landscapes Lost: Endless Sea of Mega-Wind Turbines Destroying Rural Vistas Around The World
Treasured rural landscapes are being trashed around the globe with a visual cacophony of 200-270m wind turbines, with their 60m blades slicing and dicing any critter fool enough to fly by, and driving neighbours nuts with their incessant, thumping and grinding low-frequency noise. All in the name of ‘saving the planet’, mind you. Across … Continue reading Landscapes Lost: Endless Sea of Mega-Wind Turbines Destroying Rural Vistas Around The World
Deadly Dawn: ‘Transition’ to Wind Powered Future Means Wholesale Bird & Bat Slaughter
The wind cult works overtime to avoid the bloody reality that their beloveds are responsible for millions of bird and bat deaths, every year. Lying, dissembling and attempting to bury the evidence is just the start. There follows a game of moral equivalence, asserting that more bats and birds are clobbered by cars, cats and … Continue reading Deadly Dawn: ‘Transition’ to Wind Powered Future Means Wholesale Bird & Bat Slaughter
Game Over: German Wind Industry In Freefall: Turbine Makers Sack Thousands in Mass Layoffs
The manufacturers of turbines and solar panels are dropping like flies, as subsidies are rolled back across Europe. So-called ‘green’ jobs are a case of easy come, easy go. The wind and solar ‘industries’ that gave birth to those jobs simply can’t survive without massive and endless subsidies, which means their days are numbered. With … Continue reading Game Over: German Wind Industry In Freefall: Turbine Makers Sack Thousands in Mass Layoffs
