Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. Then there are scammers like Global Fiberglass Solutions Inc which makes claims about recycling dumped blades, notwithstanding there is no market for ground up toxic waste, funnily enough. Principal among the toxic agents to be found … Continue reading Dump & Run: Thousands of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades Pile Up Across America
Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
Want to make a small fortune in the offshore wind industry? Then start with a large one. In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the numbers are far worse out at sea. Take a machine … Continue reading Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
Texans Left Scrambling For Power As Wind Turbines Take Another Summer Vacation
Texas is littered with solar panels and wind turbines, but don’t expect them to deliver power as and when you need it. As happens most years, wind turbines across Texas have been on their annual summer vacation, for weeks now. In their absence, solar is able to pitch in for a while, but sunset has … Continue reading Texans Left Scrambling For Power As Wind Turbines Take Another Summer Vacation
Alternating Ocean Currents: Offshore Wind Turbines The New Climate Drivers
Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and it’s only natural that that environment changes. Downwind air currents are cut and buffeted by the blades of turbines up wind. The phenomenon known as ‘wake turbulence’ reduces output from each turbine within a cluster of turbines, because it reduces and interferes with wind … Continue reading Alternating Ocean Currents: Offshore Wind Turbines The New Climate Drivers
Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy
As wind and solar capacity increases, Germany’s once thriving economy shrinks. And it’s the sudden and dramatic collapse in German industrial output that’s allowed the wind and sun cult to cry ‘victory’ with a claim - based on a statistical fudge - that Germany obtained 50% of its power from ‘renewable’ sources. Sitting behind the … Continue reading Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy
Net Zero Experiment Built on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Doomed to Failure
A decade from now we’ll be talking about the transition to wind and solar that never happened. Right now, though, rent seekers and their enabling politicos are making claims, fast and furious about reaching net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets using nothing but sunshine and breezes. No country has ever run itself entirely on wind … Continue reading Net Zero Experiment Built on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Doomed to Failure
Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Whatever ‘social licence’ the wind industry had evaporated years ago; wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies will do it every time. Sure enough, the usual ‘not in my back yard’ protester often takes the lead in opposition to another aggregation of these monstrosities. However, the arguments these days are broader and more to the … Continue reading Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Part-Time Power: US Industry Told to Stop Work After Sunset & During Calm Weather
Wind and sunshine might be ‘free’, but good luck getting wind or solar power when the wind stops blowing and the sun sets, at any price. Wind and solar rent seekers are eager to tell us how cheap wind and solar are compared to coal, nuclear and gas. Attempting to compare weather-dependent wind and sunshine … Continue reading Part-Time Power: US Industry Told to Stop Work After Sunset & During Calm Weather
Wind Industry’s Rotten Tale: A Story of Bribes and Underhand Dealings
Crony capitalism is mostly done undercover; only rarely does its insidious work bubble to be the surface. The wind industry isn’t the only business where cash for favours is the order of the day. But the wind industry is alone in its moralising, ‘shut up, we’re saving the world’ mantra. The narrative upon which it … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Rotten Tale: A Story of Bribes and Underhand Dealings
Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Germany and Australia share delusional obsessions with wind and solar power; but they also share a desperate demand for reliable coal-fired power. Hidden from sight, both Germany and Australia have recognised (albeit a little too late) that the only way of delivering 24 x 365 power, whatever the weather at prices everyone can afford is … Continue reading Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power
