Not only do wind turbines act as the perfect bushfire-starters, their presence precludes the best and safest method of fire-fighting from controlling them: aerial water bombers won’t fly within cooee of these things – experienced pilots have declared that they won’t fly within 3km of a wind turbine, even without the country around them on … Continue reading Western Victoria’s Firestorm: Dodging Wind Turbines Biggest Battle for Airborne Firefighters

Regrets: Fritz Vahrenholt – German RE Pioneer Demands End to Chaotic Wind Power Push
If the tech savvy Germans can’t make wind and solar power work, no one can. The Germans love cobbling together endless, guttural syllables to create nouns longer than the Autobahn. ‘Energiewende’ roughly translates as ‘energy transition’, which Germans have taken to mean a new path with energy. Germans were told that instead of coal … Continue reading Regrets: Fritz Vahrenholt – German RE Pioneer Demands End to Chaotic Wind Power Push
Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
It’s often forgotten that the diminutive David slew the gigantic Goliath. Discipline, nerve and strategic resolve is what wins battles. And in Western Victoria, there’s no bigger battle than that brewing between wind power outfits and local community defenders. One of the best of those is retired country lawyer, Tony Edney. He’s the handsome devil … Continue reading Battlelines Drawn: Victoria’s Wind Power Push Meets Angry & Disciplined Opposition
NSW Planning Dept Scotches Jupiter Wind Farm Project: Locals Ecstatic
Utterly pointless and universally detested in the communities where they get speared, wind turbines have one real purpose: harvesting subsidies. Communities that get organised early and fight hard from the get go have a chance of avoiding becoming ‘road-kill’ for renewables rent seekers. However, start bargaining with wind power outfits about setbacks from homes, … Continue reading NSW Planning Dept Scotches Jupiter Wind Farm Project: Locals Ecstatic
Backlash Against Big Wind: Victorian Communities Vent Fury at AGL
Nothing generates personal hatred and deep-seated division, quite like the threat of wind turbines being speared into peaceful and prosperous rural communities. While the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers still attempt the line that rural communities are falling over themselves to get in on some wind farm action, their spin and the reality are … Continue reading Backlash Against Big Wind: Victorian Communities Vent Fury at AGL
Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Wind farm neighbours are forced to endure all manner of wholly unnecessary suffering. Incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound drives them nuts at nighttime or, in plenty of cases, out of their homes, altogether. In Ontario, around the shores of the Great Lakes, the latest outrage involves wind power outfits destroying local underground … Continue reading Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Cuomo’s Curse: Wind Power Obsession Leaves New Yorkers with Rocketing Power Bills
If wind power really is cheap and getting cheaper all the time, why is it that every State or Nation ‘powered’ by the weather is suffering power prices magnitudes higher than those that continue merrily chugging away on coal, gas or nuclear power? South Australia, Denmark and Germany suffer the highest power prices in the … Continue reading Cuomo’s Curse: Wind Power Obsession Leaves New Yorkers with Rocketing Power Bills
Community Backlash Against Big Wind: Massachusetts Residents’ Unanimous Vote Blocks Future Wind Projects
Remember all the guff about rural communities falling over themselves to get into bed with big wind? No? STT has forgotten those well-polished propaganda pieces, too. Watching reasonable people turn against wind power with a vengeance is one of life’s inevitable events - like herds of hungry Wildebeests prowling the Serengeti in search of … Continue reading Community Backlash Against Big Wind: Massachusetts Residents’ Unanimous Vote Blocks Future Wind Projects

Brits Tear Down Lake District Wind Turbines to Restore Pristine Views: Locals Delighted
Among the wind cult, it’s apparently the ‘aesthetics’ of these things that titillate the senses and get their juices flowing: just knowing that they’re out there somewhere (in someone else’s backyard, not their own) gently caressing the breezes, is more than enough for starry-eyed wind worshippers. Ignore the hundreds of $billions squandered on subsidies for … Continue reading Brits Tear Down Lake District Wind Turbines to Restore Pristine Views: Locals Delighted
