The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has insurers ready to tighten the terms of the policies offered to cover them. As with any bookie, the odds of winning (or losing) are always reflected in the price the punter pays. Insurance, is no different. International insurance broking took off … Continue reading Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses
Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
As the wind industry would have it, these things are safer than houses and wouldn’t hurt a fly. The reality is, oh so much, different. Flinging 10-20 tonne/45-60m blades in all directions is just the beginning. Showering their locality with nacelle door hatches and other random bits and pieces, and drenching their surrounds with a … Continue reading Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
Anyone familiar with the weather and sunset, could have told you it would never work; the grand renewable energy transition, that is. The wind and sun cult have been claiming outright victory for years, although the scoreboard doesn’t seem to reflect their exuberant claims. The future for coal-fired power has never looked brighter; China and … Continue reading Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
India’s March to Lasting Prosperity Drives Insatiable Demand For Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Demonising coal-fired power is a sport played by smug, well-fed Westerners - who’ve never lived a day without power, in their cosseted lives. For the poorest energy-starved billions, a day with affordable power is a dream worth fighting for. The West’s prosperity was won with coal, a fact seemingly recognised by wind and solar-obsessed Brits … Continue reading India’s March to Lasting Prosperity Drives Insatiable Demand For Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Catastrophic Failures: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep On Collapsing in Terrifying Fashion
Wind industry spin doctors are struggling to explain away a troubling uptick in catastrophic and terrifying wind turbine collapses. Gravity is not kind to these 300-tonne monsters; hundreds of them have collapsed around the world and the rate of collapses appears to be increasing, over time. Over the last few years, there have been hundreds of … Continue reading Catastrophic Failures: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep On Collapsing in Terrifying Fashion
Offshore Wind Industry Gets Licence To Kill Right, Sperm & Humpback Whales With Impunity
Hundreds of whales are being killed by the offshore wind industry, and it’s been given a license to do so, with complete impunity. Let’s call it a ‘green light’ for industrial murder. Offshore outfits along the US Atlantic coast have clocked up something like 178 whale fatalities since construction began and their turbines first started … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Gets Licence To Kill Right, Sperm & Humpback Whales With Impunity
Mob Rule: How Sicilian Mafiosi Make a Killing From Italy’s Wind & Solar Industries
If the mob are in on it, you can be sure there’s a fast and easy buck to be made, which is why Sicily’s Cosa Nostra long-ago infiltrated Italy’s wind and solar industries. No doubt, providing added valuable protection, wherever it’s needed; no doubt ensuring premium prices for an inferior product. You know, the kind of … Continue reading Mob Rule: How Sicilian Mafiosi Make a Killing From Italy’s Wind & Solar Industries
Red Alert: Self-Immolating Wind Turbines Pose Constant Summer Bushfire Threat
Giant industrial wind turbines habitually explode into terrifying fireballs, spewing toxic smoke and raining tonnes of flaming plastics and molten metals earthward. In winter it probably provides locals with a kind of amusing pyrotechnic distraction. However, in the height of summer, with the country a tinderbox and fuel loads at their peak, not so much. … Continue reading Red Alert: Self-Immolating Wind Turbines Pose Constant Summer Bushfire Threat
Under Siege: America’s Rural Communities Keep Defeating Big Wind & Solar Projects
The Land of the Free is most certainly the Home of the Brave, namely those communities with the temerity to stand up to the subsidy-soaked wind and solar ‘industries’ and drive them out of town. Resolute and clearly well-organised, America’s rural folk have been taking on wind and solar developers (so-called) for years now, and … Continue reading Under Siege: America’s Rural Communities Keep Defeating Big Wind & Solar Projects
Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment
‘Offshore’ means out of sight and out of mind, when it comes to the environmental destruction these things cause. No one sees the countless numbers of seabirds wiped out of existence by 60-70m blades with their outer tips doing over 350 km an hour. No one sees the destruction of undersea ecosystems, the seabed ripped … Continue reading Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment
