The Western virtue signaller is untroubled by the myriad human rights abuses committed in their name. Firing up a Tesla in fashionable and leafy suburbs doesn’t connect them with the brutal conditions suffered by child labour in places like the Democratic Republic Congo where cobalt is being dug out of the ground by thousands of … Continue reading Simply Shameless: ‘Green’ Energy ‘Transition’ Depends On Brutalizing Child Labour
How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Germany has been overrun with 30,000 giant industrial wind turbines and millions of solar panels. Its climate cult reckons that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked so far is all about saving the planet. It’s an argument that holds all the logic of amputating an entire leg to prevent a septic toe from doing any further damage … Continue reading How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad
The wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment has collapsed across Europe, turbine manufacturers are losing $billions and dozens of offshore projects have been scrapped in the last 12 months. Call us a tad cynical, but if you offer a product that can’t be delivered on demand (which, accordingly, has no commercial value) and … Continue reading Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad
Falsehoods & Fictions: Why Models Claiming Wind & Solar Are Cheap Don’t Stack Up
Wind and solar provide cheap electricity, until you start comparing them with every other power source available. The true cost of wind and solar is inextricably linked with the weather (in the case of wind power) and sunshine (in the case of solar power). A healthy snow dump knocks solar out of the competition just … Continue reading Falsehoods & Fictions: Why Models Claiming Wind & Solar Are Cheap Don’t Stack Up
Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
Big claims and loose talk about the grand wind and solar energy ‘transition’ don’t make it so. And there is no shortage of either, with myth and mantra being the order of the day. Notwithstanding a staggering and rapid increase in the amount of money squandered on wind and solar, their relative contribution to world … Continue reading Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When … Continue reading Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Spells Inevitable Environmental Disaster
Spearing thousands of wind turbines into rural communities and carpeting them with endless seas of solar panels is only just the beginning. To connect those hopelessly intermittent power sources to market requires thousands of (otherwise unnecessary) kilometres of additional transmission lines. All of that environmental destruction could have readily been avoided had Australia simply maintained … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Spells Inevitable Environmental Disaster
Vale Bill Quinn: Australia’s Most Fearless Anti-Wind Power Fraud Warrior
William Laurence Quinn passed on this week, leaving a legacy to all those aiming to protect their communities from the great wind power fraud. Bill left us last Tuesday, 15 August 2023. He was admitted to the Burra Hospital in the Mid-North of South Australia, where he was born on 31 May 1956 and died … Continue reading Vale Bill Quinn: Australia’s Most Fearless Anti-Wind Power Fraud Warrior
Bubble Bursts: Rising Costs Mean More Massive Offshore Wind Projects Scrapped
The spiralling cost of erecting ever-larger turbines at sea is matched by the spiralling costs of the raw inputs needed for the turbines themselves, which means the offshore wind power bubble has truly burst. The Sweden’s Vattenfall has just scotched a massive project proposed off the coast of Norfolk, moaning about rocketing turbine manufacturing and … Continue reading Bubble Bursts: Rising Costs Mean More Massive Offshore Wind Projects Scrapped
California’s Subsidised Solar Onslaught Threatens Total Grid Collpase
Solar has plenty of friends when the Sun’s up, but it's an orphan after Sunset. And it’s that point when solar-obsessed Californians smack into reality, with a very costly bang. Conventional generators - that were designed to run around-the-clock - get bumped off the grid as the output from solar panels peaks for a few … Continue reading California’s Subsidised Solar Onslaught Threatens Total Grid Collpase
