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

If Your Community’s Fighting the Wind Industry – Keep Fighting, No Matter What
No matter where the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade, rural folk soon turn hostile. Smart communities start fighting early and never give up. In the US, the wind industry is on the back foot, with well-organised and furious rural residents – fed up with being driven nuts in their homes, or being driven out … Continue reading If Your Community’s Fighting the Wind Industry – Keep Fighting, No Matter What

You know, tales about how farmers are dying to have turbines lined up all over their properties? How locals can’t wait to pick up some of the thousands of permanent, high paying jobs on offer? How developers … Continue reading Battle Lines: American Farmers Winning War Against Lying, Greedy Wind & Solar Outfits
No ‘Right’ Place: Industrial Wind Turbines Don’t Belong In ANYONE’S Backyard
As wind turbines are incapable of generating power on demand and wouldn’t last a second without massive subsidies, there is no ‘right’ place for them. Any power generation source that can’t deliver electricity on demand is pointless, so talk about appropriate siting is pure nonsense. Why bother? Rent seekers and crony capitalists are the only … Continue reading No ‘Right’ Place: Industrial Wind Turbines Don’t Belong In ANYONE’S Backyard
