Wind & Solar Industries’ Ministry of Truth Plans Propaganda Blitz On Rural Communities

Whatever ‘social licence’ the wind and solar industries enjoyed evaporated years ago. Sick of their lies, treachery, bullying and deceit, rural communities are united in their resolve to resist being treated as ‘renewable energy roadkill’.

They’re Not In Kansas Anymore: Mid-West Bans Industrial Wind & Solar Projects

As soon as rural folk are given free choice, they inevitably ban industrial wind and solar from their territories. Local governments, finally listening to their constituents, are acting out the universal hostility the pointless power. The weather and/or sunshine-dependent stuff - that can’t deliver power on demand - but that guarantees economic misery, environmental destruction … Continue reading They’re Not In Kansas Anymore: Mid-West Bans Industrial Wind & Solar Projects

Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad

The wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment has collapsed across Europe, turbine manufacturers are losing $billions and dozens of offshore projects have been scrapped in the last 12 months. Call us a tad cynical, but if you offer a product that can’t be delivered on demand (which, accordingly, has no commercial value) and … Continue reading Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad

Why Rural Communities Around the Globe Are Rioting Against Wind & Solar Invasion

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

Not In Anyone’s Backyard: The Truth Behind Rural America’s Great Wind & Solar Backlash

  Eco-zealots, like Bill McKibben reckon rural folk just can’t wait to get 240m high wind turbines whirling in their backyard; and that if they express any resistance to such a ‘golden opportunity’, it’s all down to the nefarious activities of ‘evil’ fossil fuel overlords and right wingers spreading “misinformation” about how wonderful it is … Continue reading Not In Anyone’s Backyard: The Truth Behind Rural America’s Great Wind & Solar Backlash
