Lessons from Denmark: Danes Slash Wind Power Subsidies to Salvage Economy

The wind industry is mounted on myth and fuelled by fantasy.

Spain Puts its Economy Destroying Wind Industry to the Sword: ZERO MWs Installed in 2015

España launched into a subsidy-drenched, wind rush almost 20 years ago; for which it’s been lionized by wind-worshippers, worldwide.
