400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales

America’s offshore wind industry has an almighty whale of a problem. Sensible folk are no longer enamoured of an industry that is killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins […]

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 […]

Blaze of Glory: Life-Threatening Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than People Think

Chasing The ‘Green’ Energy Dream: Or ‘How I Wasted 20 Years of My Life’

Plenty start out as fans of wind and solar power and turn against it, but it’s hard to find opponents who later become supporters. Present the facts to reasonable people, and they’ll want to know how the wind and solar scam got started in the first place and why it hasn’t been stopped in its […]

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 […]

Overshadowed: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines Deliver Daily Dose of Misery For Neighbours

Having 260m high industrial wind turbines speared into people’s backyards often renders their homes unlivable. For those unfortunates forced to live cheek-by-jowl with these things, it isn’t just incessant turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infrasound that drives neighbours nuts. At sunrise or sunset, those with turbines on their doorstep find shadow flicker – the pulsing beams […]

Another day, another rural community revolts against industrial wind power. This time it’s thousands of Indian villagers fighting back to prevent the destruction of their precious forests and fertile farmlands.
