When it comes to killing majestic raptors, ‘green’ hypocrisy is the new black. Apex avian predators are top of the food chain for 60 m wind turbine blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350 Kph. RE zealots seem untroubled by the carnage. The usual nonsense retort is that cats, motorcars or skyscrapers kill … Continue reading Licenced to Kill: Government Endorses Wind Industry’s Rampant Eagle Slaughter

Double Standards: Greens Run Silent on Wind Turbine Bird & Bat & Bug Slaughter
The media went nuts when former Greens leader, Bob Brown turned on a wind farm in his backyard. Rampant hypocrisy, was just the first of the charges levelled at a man renowned for his hatred of reliable and affordable electricity. In the result, the Liberal/National Coalition were very grateful that Dr Bob’s hatred of coal … Continue reading Double Standards: Greens Run Silent on Wind Turbine Bird & Bat & Bug Slaughter
‘Green’ Turns Brown: Australia’s Head Climate Warrior Slams Wind Turbine Eagle Slaughter
Why only yesterday, Bob Brown was railing against coal, now he’s got it in for the wind, too. Well, at least when it comes to wind turbines slicing and dicing Eagles in his patch of paradise, Tasmania. Dr Bob’s recent epiphany concerning the ability of 60 m blades with their tips travelling at over 350 … Continue reading ‘Green’ Turns Brown: Australia’s Head Climate Warrior Slams Wind Turbine Eagle Slaughter
Why Wind Power Can Never Work (Unless it’s Rocketing Power Prices & Environmental Destruction You’re After?)
Australian voters just rejected a massive increase in wind and solar, relegating Bill Shorten and his 50% RET to the dusty pages of history. Having had 20 years or so to convince Australians of the purported ‘merits’ of throwing more than $4,000,000,000 in subsidies at chaotically intermittent wind and solar each year, the rent seekers … Continue reading Why Wind Power Can Never Work (Unless it’s Rocketing Power Prices & Environmental Destruction You’re After?)
Bug’s Life: Bees & Other Flying Critters Being Wiped Out By Wind Turbines
Giant industrial wind turbines mean an ignominious slaughter for almost anything on the wing. 50-80m blades, with their tips travelling at over 300 km/h, readily slice and dice birds and bats in their millions every year. Then there’s a smorgasbord of smaller flying critters, like bees, wasps, dragonflies and other environmentally and agriculturally beneficial insects … Continue reading Bug’s Life: Bees & Other Flying Critters Being Wiped Out By Wind Turbines
‘Green’ Killing Fields: Wind Turbines Responsible for Massive & Unnecessary Bird Slaughter
Renewable energy zealots didn’t invent hypocrisy, but they seem quite comfortable wearing it, like their very own badge of honour. If wind power was even close to being a meaningful power generation source, you might, just might justify the wave of environmental and societal destruction that comes with it. Abandoned centuries ago for pretty … Continue reading ‘Green’ Killing Fields: Wind Turbines Responsible for Massive & Unnecessary Bird Slaughter
Calculated Chaos: Renewable Energy Zealot’s Wind & Solar Plan for California Just Doesn’t Add Up
Facts, reason and logic have never troubled the true believers in our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future. Trifling matters, like cost and reliability, are dismissed in an instant. The slaughter of millions of birds and bats, swept under the carpet. And the environmental havoc wreaked across countryside carpeted in … Continue reading Calculated Chaos: Renewable Energy Zealot’s Wind & Solar Plan for California Just Doesn’t Add Up
‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction
In 2018, it’s easier to find a deluded wind turbine hugger, than an old-fashioned tree hugger. Michael Shellenberger is regarded as one of America’s leading environmental advocates, but his avowed hatred of subsidised, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar puts him at odds with his contemporaries. To the extent that carbon dioxide gas concerns him, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction
‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills
Environmentalists of the kind lovingly called ‘tree huggers’ (rather than wind turbine worshippers) are finally cottoning on to the fact that the wind industry is anything but the ‘clean, green’ energy source its proponents claim it to be. Real eco-warriors aren’t happy to bury inconvenient wind industry facts, instead, they’re furious at the fact that … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills
Angela’s Angst: €Billions Squandered on Wind & Solar But Germany’s CO2 Emissions Continue to Rise
The one, nay the only, ‘justification’ for the $billions squandered on subsidised wind power is ‘saving’ the planet from CO2 gas. Except, that the wind industry has never produced a shred of credible evidence that chaotic and intermittent wind power has actually reduced CO2 gas emissions, anywhere on that planet. If CO2's your 'poison', wind … Continue reading Angela’s Angst: €Billions Squandered on Wind & Solar But Germany’s CO2 Emissions Continue to Rise
