The wind industry is just the latest and largest in a long line of great Ponzi schemes, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind industry, the scam is all about pitching bogus projected returns (based on overblown wind “forecasts”) (see our posts here and here and here and here); claiming that wind turbines will run for 25 years, without the need … Continue reading Climate Con-Job: You Know It’s a Ponzi Scheme When Pure Fantasy Has a Colossal Price

Indiana Insanity: Power Prices Set to Rocket with Grand Wind & Solar Power Push
Renewable energy ‘champion’ South Australia blew up its last coal-fired power plant last year and now suffers the world’s highest power prices, mass load shedding and blackouts. In a case of déjà vu all over again, the Hoosier state, Indiana wants to follow SA’s idiotic example. Those behind it have no hesitation in turning … Continue reading Indiana Insanity: Power Prices Set to Rocket with Grand Wind & Solar Power Push
Global Conspiracy: Climate Alarmists Predict Dismal Future for Wind Power as ‘The ‘Big Calm’ Looms
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe a modern economy can be powered by the weather. While weather forecasters struggle to get their daily predictions to match reality any more than 7 days in advance, climate warriors have no reticence in predicting the temperature 30 years from now. As American baseball and pop … Continue reading Global Conspiracy: Climate Alarmists Predict Dismal Future for Wind Power as ‘The ‘Big Calm’ Looms
Dead End Power Trip: Land Hungry Wind Power Always a Problem & Never a Solution
Wind power is a problem without a solution. Output collapses when breezes turn to zephyrs and when bluster turns to a gale: wind turbines automatically shut off as wind speeds reach 25 m/s (90km/h, 55mp/h or 48 knots). As South Australians found out on 28 September 2016 - when the whole State went black, … Continue reading Dead End Power Trip: Land Hungry Wind Power Always a Problem & Never a Solution
Industrialised Murder: Indian Study Shows Wind Turbines Slaughter 75% of Local Raptors
One issue that annoys RE zealots, like a burr under a frisky pony’s saddle blanket, is the wind industry's rampant bird and bat slaughter. It’s an inconvenient truth to be sure. But, as with everything that the wind industry does, if you can’t keep a straight face while lying about it any more, then … Continue reading Industrialised Murder: Indian Study Shows Wind Turbines Slaughter 75% of Local Raptors
Collateral Damage: Poor Biggest Victims of Britain’s Insane Climate & Energy Policies
As a bitter British winter bites, spare a thought for its poor and vulnerable who can’t afford power, thanks to its suicidal energy policies. Principal amongst those policies is the Climate Change Act. 10 years on, Britain is counting the cost of the CCA: it’s staggering and it’s the poor that suffer most. The Climate … Continue reading Collateral Damage: Poor Biggest Victims of Britain’s Insane Climate & Energy Policies
Batteries Included: Wind + Solar + Batteries = Insanely Expensive Power
Despite the hype from RE zealots, the chaotic and occasional delivery of wind and solar won’t be cured with batteries, large or small. Sure, at a technical level, it is possible to store large volumes of electricity for a period, such that it might be released when power consumers need it. However, were such … Continue reading Batteries Included: Wind + Solar + Batteries = Insanely Expensive Power
People Power: Taiwanese Trump Renewables With Landslide Vote For Nuclear Power
One hackneyed myth is that the proletariat will never vote in favour of nuclear power. The Taiwanese just put paid to that, with a landslide victory for common sense and reason. Over the last decade or so, the wind industry has attempted to get its claws into Taiwan, with mixed results. In June, Taiwan’s anti-nuclear … Continue reading People Power: Taiwanese Trump Renewables With Landslide Vote For Nuclear Power
Sky’s The Limit: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ South Australians Hit With (Another) 22% Price Hike
Attempting to rely on intermittent wind and solar is guaranteed to send power prices into orbit. Just ask a South Australian. Despite some desperate wind industry propaganda efforts suggesting that South Australians are currently enjoying 1970s power prices, Australia’s renewable energy capital still pays the world’s highest power prices – thanks to its ludicrous 50% Renewable Energy … Continue reading Sky’s The Limit: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ South Australians Hit With (Another) 22% Price Hike
