Wind power is a pointless nonsense: 100% of its capacity must be backed up 100% of the time with a meaningful, conventional generation source: coal, gas, hydro or nuclear. That grouping never needs ‘backup’, ‘firming’, batteries or prayers to the Wind Gods and such like; they just work, whatever the weather, 24 x 365. Whereas, … Continue reading Run Aground: Intermittent Offshore Wind Power Costs 25 Times More Than Ever-Reliable Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Wind power is utterly pointless on every level, having been abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, starting with the weather. The oft heard retort from those fighting the prospect of wind turbines being speared into their backyards, is “why don’t they put them offshore?” These are the characters who are simply too gutless to … Continue reading Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear
New York’s RE Debacle Deepens: Offshore Wind Power All-at-Sea Without Massive Subsidies
Where the cost of onshore wind power is staggering, the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. Of course, in either case, in the absence of massive and perpetual subsidies, there would never have been a single turbine constructed on land or at sea, ever, period. New York State’ Governor, Andrew Cuomo is just the … Continue reading New York’s RE Debacle Deepens: Offshore Wind Power All-at-Sea Without Massive Subsidies
Wind Energy: Part-Time Power – Full-Time Failure: Brand New Turbines Falling Apart
Wind power isn’t a serious energy source, it’s a serious joke. In the absence of massive subsidies, the wind industry wouldn’t exist. Battling to deliver part-time power, it’s been a full-time failure. Self-combusting, throwing 10 tonne blades to the four winds and dropping their 300 tonne hulks earthwards is just what these things do. But, … Continue reading Wind Energy: Part-Time Power – Full-Time Failure: Brand New Turbines Falling Apart
World’s ‘Biggest’ Wind Turbine – Wind Industry’s Final Solution or Last Hurrah?
As power consumers wake up to the great wind power fraud, the wind industry has developed a siege mentality. Trotting out hackneyed propaganda about the ‘inevitable transition’, being ‘competitive’ with coal and RE powering on to world domination is starting to lose traction. And that’s the trouble with myths: the mob soon works you out. … Continue reading World’s ‘Biggest’ Wind Turbine – Wind Industry’s Final Solution or Last Hurrah?
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
Another Wind Power FAIL: Big Winter Blow Leaves 75,000 UK Homes Powerless
It’s this simple, really: when your power supply depends wholly upon the weather, expect it to vary entirely at the whims of Mother Nature. Last year we brought you the story of what happened in Texas when Hurricane Harvey belted the Lone Star state: Last Man Standing: Nuclear Plants Power Texans During Deluge – Wind Turbines … Continue reading Another Wind Power FAIL: Big Winter Blow Leaves 75,000 UK Homes Powerless
Wind Industry Lies About Falling Costs Backfire: MPs Demand End to Subsidies for Wind Power
The moral of the story of ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ isn’t don’t lie, it’s don’t tell the same lie twice. Renewables rent-seekers continue to stick with the same grab bag of lies, myths and furphies, despite mountains of evidence revealing their marketing pitch is just so much polished propaganda. South Australia (Australia’s so-called ‘wind … Continue reading Wind Industry Lies About Falling Costs Backfire: MPs Demand End to Subsidies for Wind Power
All at Sea – Forget Wind Industry Spin: Offshore Wind Costs are Not Falling, They’re Staggering
Over the last year or so, the Australian wind industry, its parasites and spruikers have pointed to a number of proposals to spear mega-windmills offshore and out in the briny blue, including one monstrous boondoggle pitched for the waters off of the Victorian coast. These pie-in-the-sky plans are accompanied with the usual guff about wind power being … Continue reading All at Sea – Forget Wind Industry Spin: Offshore Wind Costs are Not Falling, They’re Staggering
Offshore Wind Power Just as Unreliable & Twice the Insane Cost of Onshore Wind Power
**** Australia's Large-Scale RET is facing inevitable doom - and with it the wind industry - due to the fact that Australia's commercial retailers decided to kill it off over 3 years ago; refusing, since then, to enter Power Purchase Agreements with wind power outfits. The result has been that commercial lenders have ceased lending … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power Just as Unreliable & Twice the Insane Cost of Onshore Wind Power
