On any reckoning, wind power is an abject failure. Dilute and diffuse, chaotically intermittent, insanely costly (when backup costs are included) and a wholesale environmental disaster, wiping out millions of birds, bats and beneficial bugs, and wrecking the livability the rural communities, nothing stacks up apart from the massive and endless subsidies upon which the … Continue reading Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count

‘Green’ Energy Slaughter: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Puffins, Gulls, Gannets & More
The bird carcasses soon pile up wherever the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade. When it comes to wholesale avian slaughter, the offshore industry sets the benchmark. Offshore wind is already meting out a phenomenal death toll on a whole range of seabirds in the waters surrounding Britain and across the North Sea. Puffins are … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Slaughter: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Puffins, Gulls, Gannets & More
Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Spreading millions of solar panels and spearing thousands of wind turbines far and wide doesn’t make sense, at any level. Intermittent and diffuse energy sources do not represent progress in the state of human affairs; that was the way of the world pre-Industrial Revolution - science, enterprise and engineering made all that a part of … Continue reading Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Time For Launch: Best Place For Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Is Way Out Of This World
There is no place on earth for meaningless power generation sources, especially giant industrial wind turbines. Talk about finding appropriate places for them usually boils down to the type of character who says she is all in favour of renewable energy, just not in her backyard. STT has always held the view there is no … Continue reading Time For Launch: Best Place For Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Is Way Out Of This World
Senseless Seagull Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Britain’s Seabirds
Wherever the wind industry plies it subsidy-soaked trade, there’s a wave of avian carnage, and offshore is no exception. While Greta & Co fret about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are under threat, including … Continue reading Senseless Seagull Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Britain’s Seabirds
Forgive Them Not: No Excuse For Wind Industry’s Pointless Bird & Bat Slaughter
The utter pointlessness of the wind industry’s annual bird and bat slaughter is well-known to followers of this site. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value and when that purportedly ‘green’ power source slices and dices apex predators like salad onions, it’s hard to think of it as … Continue reading Forgive Them Not: No Excuse For Wind Industry’s Pointless Bird & Bat Slaughter
Deathly Silence: Green Groups Complicit in Wind Industry’s Endangered Eagle Slaughter
So-called green groups that help cover up the wind industry’s rampant slaughter of birds and bats are just as guilty as those who directly profit from the carnage. A fair proportion of their practised acquiescence is explained by bags of cash - aka helpful “donations” from outfits such as NextEra to the likes of the … Continue reading Deathly Silence: Green Groups Complicit in Wind Industry’s Endangered Eagle Slaughter
Spain’s Wind Industry Slaughters Thousands of Endangered Birds With Impunity
The wind industry is all about getting away with it. Whether it’s slaughtering millions of birds and bats, or terrorising neighbours, wind power outfits pride themselves on avoiding liability to all and sundry. Over the last 20 years, Spain has been overrun with these things, including the pretty principality of Asturias on its northwest coast. … Continue reading Spain’s Wind Industry Slaughters Thousands of Endangered Birds With Impunity
Not Green: Eagles Constant Victims of Wind Industry’s Endless Bird Slaughter
With the world’s wind turbines slicing and dicing thousands of eagles, owls, hawks, and kites every day, wind farms are more slaughterhouses than power generators. Millions of tonnes of beneficial bugs get splattered annually, along with millions of birds and bats, some of them being among the last of their kind. At the apex of the avian … Continue reading Not Green: Eagles Constant Victims of Wind Industry’s Endless Bird Slaughter
Unbridled Bird Slaughter: Wind Turbines Wiping Out Australia’s Iconic Dancing Brolga
A 60m long wind turbine blade tip travelling at 350 kph makes short work of birds and bats - smashing Eagles to smithereens and slicing Brolgas to ribbons is all part of our ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition. The Australian Brolga (a member of crane family) is a majestic creature known for its intricate, paired dance … Continue reading Unbridled Bird Slaughter: Wind Turbines Wiping Out Australia’s Iconic Dancing Brolga
