As the offshore wind industry implodes in the US, UK and Northern Europe it’s worth noting the class of villains responsible. Pitching the most insanely expensive method of occasionally generating electricity on a random and entirely chaotic basis took audacity; taking investors for a ride with them took a special kind of malice; and pretending … Continue reading Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry
Towering Infernos: The Wind Industry Keeps Delivering World-Class Pyrotechnics
Fireworks and pyrotechnics events cost serious money, but locals can ‘enjoy’ giant wind turbines self-immolate for free. Sure, it’s safer to stand up wind and avoid the plumes of toxic smoke. But there’s something almost attractive about watching these things fire up and disintegrate in a molten, smoky fury. Of course this is one of … Continue reading Towering Infernos: The Wind Industry Keeps Delivering World-Class Pyrotechnics
Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable
There’s nothing vaguely ‘renewable’ about wind and solar - when panels and turbines give up the ghost after a decade or so, the panels are crushed and dumped in landfills, as are millions of turbine blades. None of which is recycled; none of which is renewable. The panels and turbines are completely replaced and the … Continue reading Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable
Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
For more than a decade, acolytes and crony capitalists have run the story that offshore wind power is free, and getting cheaper all the time. However, the reality doesn’t match the rhetoric. In the UK, offshore outfits refused to bid at the figures offered by government in the auction by which future (guaranteed) contract prices … Continue reading Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
The smart money is banking on the wind and solar industries’ total collapse; the smartest money was never invested in the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. With subsidised wind and solar looking more like a house of cards, dozens of grand standing projects are being unceremoniously dumped. The potential investors targeted by their proponents … Continue reading Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout
Holding hands and waving placards just doesn’t cut it. If you want to protect the environment or your community from the industrial wind power onslaught, then litigate. In this post, we contrast a community off the coast of New South Wales, Australia where a rally of surfers gathered to stave off the threat of an … Continue reading Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout
America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped
In the US the offshore wind industry is completely underwater, in every sense. The insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments has finally caught up. Projects are being scrapped in the same way that punters rip up their betting slips when their long-shot nag fails to … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped
Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
That ‘industries’ built on lies, myths and subsidies are in freefall is hardly surprising. Nothing about intermittent wind and solar have never made any sense. Now the markets are starting to cotton on. Governments are refusing to bail out wind power outfits - rejecting their ever-increasing demands for ever-increasing subsidies. The knock-on effect on the … Continue reading Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster
Ideological experiments come in all shapes and sizes, but Germany’s wind and solar craze is monumental - a monumental environmental, economic and social disaster, to put it mildly. Suffering routine power rationing, mass blackouts and Europe’s highest power prices is only just the pointy end of what Germany’s boffins called the ‘Energiewende’, which was touted … Continue reading Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster
Eagles Dare: China Wins Race to Build World’s Largest Bird Mincing Wind Turbine
Eagles and other avian predators won’t stand a chance when China starts rolling out turbines with 150m long blades, their outer tips travelling at over 400 km an hour, perfect for slicing and dicing any critter within their extensive range. When GE announced plans to build a 12MW monster, the wind cult oohed and aahed, now China has … Continue reading Eagles Dare: China Wins Race to Build World’s Largest Bird Mincing Wind Turbine
