The truth about the great wind power fraud
**** “Risible”: provoking laughter through being ludicrous. That’s a pretty fair summation of Australia’s so-called “wind industry” in the week just gone. It would be, except, wind power was pitched as a reliable replacement for on-demand power generation sources (like coal, hydro and gas) and a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions. Our political betters […]
In response to the National Wind Power Fraud Rally in June, struggling Danish fan maker, Vestas paid $millions to a crack team of spin doctors to invent a campaign aimed at winning back the “moral” high ground.
