The purpose of a power generation source is, funnily enough, to generate power as and when it’s needed, not merely to withstand the vagaries of the weather. Wind speeds barely need to reach gale force and these things go into automatic shutdown, as appears on German turbine maker, Siemen’s website – which has this to say … Continue reading Blown Away: Atlantic Hurricanes Threaten Total Offshore Wind Turbine Wipeout
Fun’s Over: America’s ‘Green’ Investors Ditch Climate Action Zealotry
The climate cult thought the serious money was all in, forever. Til now, weather zealots could call on Wall Street to bankroll the climate industrial complex; there was no end to the amount of money available for harebrained, uneconomic wind and solar projects; no end to the unhinged war on hydrocarbons. These days, not so … Continue reading Fun’s Over: America’s ‘Green’ Investors Ditch Climate Action Zealotry
Laughable Lightweights: Wind & Solar Can’t Hold Their Own During ‘Extreme’ Weather
When the wind blows hard enough, the turbines will not only rock, they'll hit the deck with quite a thud - all 250 tonnes or so. And what a gale can do to 280m high turbines, a hail storm can do to seas of solar panels in a matter of minutes (see Charles Rotter's piece … Continue reading Laughable Lightweights: Wind & Solar Can’t Hold Their Own During ‘Extreme’ Weather
Arizona Prevents Economic Trainwreck By Scrapping Wind & Solar Subsidies & Mandates
Arizona, joins West Virginia and Montana in scrapping its mandated target for wind and solar power generation. Referred to as the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), its economic cost naturally outstrips any notional benefit (the only benefit being enjoyed is by wind and solar rent seekers). Finally, legislators are waking up to the scale and scope … Continue reading Arizona Prevents Economic Trainwreck By Scrapping Wind & Solar Subsidies & Mandates
Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
Generating occasional power in far-flung places means connecting wind turbines and solar panels, and that comes with a staggering additional cost. Costs that are totally avoidable and entirely unnecessary, when one considers that no one was short of power before the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ took off. In Australia, it’s reckoned that the current … Continue reading Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
New Nuclear Power Policy Kills Australia’s Wind & Solar Rollout
Rent seekers hoping to profit from the wind and solar scam are in meltdown, following the Liberal/National Coalition’s plan to take a nuclear power policy to the next Federal election. Wind and solar have no hope of surviving a meaningful, long-term nuclear power policy, and the wind and solar scammers know it. Nuclear power is … Continue reading New Nuclear Power Policy Kills Australia’s Wind & Solar Rollout
Mercenary Audacity: How Crony Capitalists Drive The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
The Climate Industrial Complex is the perfect playground for billionaire crony capitalists: obscene guaranteed profits are underwritten by power consumers and taxpayers; all the risk is born by the same class of suckers; and weather-obsessed politicos are falling over themselves to engineer new and exciting ways of providing a malevolent elite with opportunities to separate … Continue reading Mercenary Audacity: How Crony Capitalists Drive The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
It’s like the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ suddenly lost its mojo. Wild claims and fanciful projections are giving way to a more sober reality. Demand for reliable and affordable energy, including electricity, continues to rise at rates that even the most ambitious wind and solar promoters can’t match. Soaring rhetoric is one thing, backing … Continue reading Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
Hostility Mounts: Rural Communities Ready to Explode Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Visit any rural community targeted for industrial wind turbines and solar panels and/or the transmission lines needed to support them, and the rage is truly palpable. Faced with hundreds of 280m high, 300 tonne turbines speared into pristine bush and prime farmland, seas of solar panels - that seemingly stretch to the horizon - and … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Rural Communities Ready to Explode Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has been covering up whale deaths for the wind industry for years. The government-aided subterfuge has been running ever since the wind industry started building and operating industrial wind turbines along America’s Atlantic coast of the USA. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie. Its existence depends upon … Continue reading Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
