The wind industry is always and everywhere about subsidies. The punitive cost of those subsidies are starting to appear in retail power bills, infuriating householders and driving businesses to the wall. Panicked politicians, who enabled the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, are reacting. Their inevitable response is to cut the subsidies that … Continue reading If You’re Fighting the Wind Industry: Keep Fighting, Because Fighters Win
‘Green’ Premiers Red-Faced: Wind Power Fiasco Ends in Dirty Diesel Debacle
Australia’s ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes sometimes reads like the farcical plot of an episode of Blackadder or Fawlty Towers.

Outrageous Wind Farm Plan for Battlefield Graveyard Draws Fury from French & Australians
The wind industry is shameless: a plan to spear 6 turbines into the WWI Battlefield of Bullecourt, in Northern France has caused justifiable outrage in France, among those who still recognise the immeasurable sacrifice made by Australian infantrymen in their efforts to set France free from tyranny, a Century ago. However, that pales with the … Continue reading Outrageous Wind Farm Plan for Battlefield Graveyard Draws Fury from French & Australians
Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Renewables rent-seekers are nothing if not sore losers. A heartbeat ago it seemed as if the subsidies for renewables would last until kingdom come, and wind and solar power outfits could get away with the completely unpredictable and haphazardly occasional ‘delivery’ of power at ridiculous prices. Now, PM, Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee has turned … Continue reading Armageddon Beckons: National Energy Guarantee Crushes Australia’s Wind Industry
Renewables Battery ‘Boom’: Exploding Mega-Storage System Generates Fireball & Toxic Lithium Plume in Belgium
As soon as ‘Joe Public’ worked out that the idea of running on sunshine and breezes was so much childish nonsense, renewables rent-seekers started peddling an even greater myth: that mega-batteries would store ‘free and abundant’ wind and solar power, whenever the sun was up and the wind was blowing (just right). Then, the myth … Continue reading Renewables Battery ‘Boom’: Exploding Mega-Storage System Generates Fireball & Toxic Lithium Plume in Belgium

Wind Power Subsidy Cuts Kill Thousands of Green Jobs: Siemens Sacks 6,000 Workers
The wind industry is little more than the most recent and elaborate effort to fleece gullible investors, in a list that dates back to “corporate investment classics”, 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 … Continue reading Wind Power Subsidy Cuts Kill Thousands of Green Jobs: Siemens Sacks 6,000 Workers
Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor
Those smug know-it-alls that champion wind and solar power persistently claim the high moral ground, but religiously ignore the inevitable victims of their faux eco-zealotry: the poorest and most vulnerable in society, for whom paying for power has become an existential battle. To the billions in the Third World, where electricity has for too long … Continue reading Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor
Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Claims that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years are a proven nonsense. What wind worshippers tend to forget is that these things have a useful (that is to say ‘economic’) lifespan of around 12 years. Subsidies are what built them. Subsidies are what run them. So, … Continue reading Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Wind & Sun Undone: 100% Renewables Claims Complete Fantasy
In their sillier moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would get out of their way, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come. However, in the global scheme of things, the contribution from wind and solar power barely registers, and amounts … Continue reading Wind & Sun Undone: 100% Renewables Claims Complete Fantasy
