Way more common than the industry lets on, self-combusting industrial wind turbines pose a deadly threat to life and property. When these 300 tonne juggernauts go up in flames it’s time to cut and run. And if flying chunks of burning toxic plastics and molten metals aren’t enough to contend with, neighbours have been dodging … Continue reading Thermal Reaction: Neighbours Demand Protection From Raging Wind Turbine Fires
Pointless Preaching: Zero Chance of Meeting Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets
Setting pointless targets and announcing five-year plans is all the rage, which includes playing accounting tricks with carbon dioxide gas emissions. So-called net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are just the latest tool employed by crony capitalists to separate the poor from their hard-earned cash. Those behind the scam know full well the targets they … Continue reading Pointless Preaching: Zero Chance of Meeting Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets
Mega-Pumped Hydro Project Becomes Total Economic & Environmental Disaster
Touted as the saviour for subsidised wind and solar, pumped hydro turns out to be a whole lot harder in practice. The Snowy 2.0 plan (see above) never stacked up economically – see our posts here and here – and never will. One of the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) critical to the project, Florence had barely struck … Continue reading Mega-Pumped Hydro Project Becomes Total Economic & Environmental Disaster
Hello Hydrogen: Mythical ‘Green’ Gas All Set to Explode on Energy Scene
Unable to deal head-on with the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar, acolytes are reduced to waffling about batteries and so-called ‘green’ hydrogen gas as the answer. Stripped back, the great hydrogen hoax is just another scheme dreamt up by crony capitalists to gouge subsidies from unwitting taxpayers, all the support of their political enablers. … Continue reading Hello Hydrogen: Mythical ‘Green’ Gas All Set to Explode on Energy Scene
Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
A while back, wind industry spinners reckoned tourists would flock to see a few of these whirling wonders in action, now they’re flocking to their graveyards. Texans now have the opportunity to visit the growing piles of toxic turbine blades and other junk left over after these things give up the ghost. James Morrow and … Continue reading Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
Wind Industry Outraged at Government Refusal to Deliver Even More Subsidies
It takes real audacity for the most heavily subsidised ‘industry’ on earth, to demand even more. And it takes real courage for the governments who have been handing out massive subsidies, without question, to reject demands for more of the same. Which is where the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) comes in. Led … Continue reading Wind Industry Outraged at Government Refusal to Deliver Even More Subsidies
Wind & Solar Chaos Driving Demand For Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Nuclear power’s renaissance is the inevitable response to the wind and solar transition’s inevitable failure. Sunshine and weather-dependent solar and weather-dependent wind are no match for serious generation sources, like safe, reliable and affordable nuclear. Incapable of delivering electricity on demand, wind and solar have never been true competitors with coal, gas or nuclear power … Continue reading Wind & Solar Chaos Driving Demand For Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Retrograde Renewables: Wind & Solar Transition Means Return to Pre-Industrial Age
Wind and solar are hopelessly unreliable and intermittent, and wild promises of grid-scale storage of wind and solar are a cruel hoax. Dilute and diffuse, no modern economy has powered itself using sunshine and breezes, no country worth its salt, ever will. The wind and sun cult tries to ignore the fact that the story … Continue reading Retrograde Renewables: Wind & Solar Transition Means Return to Pre-Industrial Age
Africa Embraces Energy Freedom By Rejecting Net-Zero CO2 Madness
While Western elites obsess about carbon dioxide gas, the rest of the world is screaming out for affordable energy. Ignoring those perfectly rational pleas, a cabal of pontificating windbags are hellbent on preventing any real development in the poorest parts of the planet - Africa included. Their weapon of choice is forcing chaotically intermittent and … Continue reading Africa Embraces Energy Freedom By Rejecting Net-Zero CO2 Madness
Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants
‘Green’ energy ideologues are terrified of mass blackouts; the moment when the proles work out the wind and solar transition is a monstrous lie. In Germany, the worship of intermittent wind and solar has all the hallmarks of a deranged cult. However, as with most cults, it’s a zealous few that end up driving a … Continue reading Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants
