While the wind and solar ‘industries’ are intent on wrecking rural communities, those communities are intent on fighting back - with all they’ve got. A decade ago, residents could often be heard saying that they were all in favour of renewable energy, but just not in their backyards - sounding like the classic NIMBY, thereby … Continue reading Why Rural Communities Around the Globe Are Rioting Against Wind & Solar Invasion
Why Wind & Solar’s Contribution To World Energy Demand Will Always Be Trivial
The vacuous ninnies promoting the line that the world can run without hydrocarbons are always rattled by news to the contrary. As much a symptom of ideological groupthink, as evidence of the West’s woefully inadequate system of general education, the Extinction Rebellion crowd would have it that coal, oil and gas are forms of toxic … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar’s Contribution To World Energy Demand Will Always Be Trivial
Consumers Carry Colossal Cost of Getting Wind & Solar From Nowhere to Somewhere
The grand wind and solar transition comes with a staggering pricetag, not least the $trillions required to connect far-flung wind turbines and solar panels to increasingly distant markets. Building a secondary network of high voltage transmission lines and interconnectors to carry the power occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels, spread far and wide, … Continue reading Consumers Carry Colossal Cost of Getting Wind & Solar From Nowhere to Somewhere
Last Chance Saloon: Nuclear Shift Offers Best Hope For Affordable & Reliable Power
Without doubt, coal-fired power remains the cheapest and most reliable form of power generation, bar none. Which is why hundreds of new plants are being built across China, India, Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia. However, in Australia, and elsewhere in the deindustrialising West, coal-fired power has been declared public enemy number one by a cult … Continue reading Last Chance Saloon: Nuclear Shift Offers Best Hope For Affordable & Reliable Power
Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
As in life, government policy is about trade-offs, which usually means plumping for the good rather than the perfect. However, in the de-industrialising West, energy policy is all about rejecting the good in favour of the unworkable. The notion that weather-dependent wind, and weather and sunshine-dependent solar (with or without pumped hydro or mythical mega-batteries) … Continue reading Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
The offshore wind industry is wiping out thousands of marine mammals and fish are its next victims. While plenty has been written about whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals being deafened by wind turbine construction activities (they don’t respond well to sonar and seismic blasting), less notice has been given to fish, crabs and other critters … Continue reading Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Anyone claiming that solar power is a meaningful power source, has never seen a sunset, and they can’t have never seen a hurricane, hailstorm, or snowfall, or witnessed an icy frost. Because each of those planetary and meteorological events destroys either the panels themselves, or their ability to provide power consumers with electricity. In this … Continue reading Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’
Call wind and solar whatever you like, but there’s simply no rational basis to call them ‘clean’ or ‘green’. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent – after a decade or … Continue reading Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’
America’s Industrial-Scale Solar Onslaught Wrecking Fragile Desert Environments
Spreading like cancer across rural heartlands, industrial-scale solar is leaving a wake of destruction in its path. And the often-devastating environmental consequences to aquifers, plants and animals are even more acute in fragile desert ecosystems. As Travis Gillmore explains below. Hidden Impact of Massive Solar Farms: Residents and Wildlife Affected, Aquifers Threatened The Epoch Times … Continue reading America’s Industrial-Scale Solar Onslaught Wrecking Fragile Desert Environments
Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
Hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades are headed for landfills near you, and thousands more are being dumped illegally, right next door. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. In August 2021, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally … Continue reading Blade Runners: Wind Industry Dumping Millions of Tonnes of Blades Every Year
