Germany’s Renewable Energy Disaster – Part 4: ‘Social Disaster’: Wind Turbines Wrecking Rural Communities

Germany’s wind and solar experiment has failed: the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) has turned into an insanely costly debacle. German power prices have rocketed; blackouts and load shedding are the norm; and idyllic rural communities are now industrial wastelands (see above). Hundreds of billions of euros have been squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, all in … Continue reading Germany’s Renewable Energy Disaster – Part 4: ‘Social Disaster’: Wind Turbines Wrecking Rural Communities

Germany’s Ticking Turbine Time Bombs: Green-Induced Environmental Nightmare Unfolds

The wind industry continues to deliver up a bevy of eco-irony, a gift to those sick to death of the moral piety dished up by its deluded acolytes. Turbines exploding into flames, blades exploding into the ether and turbines, well, just plain exploding - make a mockery of claims by cultists that wind power is … Continue reading Germany’s Ticking Turbine Time Bombs: Green-Induced Environmental Nightmare Unfolds

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

German’s Furious as More Ancient Forests Felled to Make Way for Wind Turbines

The wanton destruction of Germany's ancient forests has brought its faux Greens head to head with those who actually care about the environment. The BUND (Friends of the Earth Germany) was long ago hijacked by eco-fascists keen to profit from the great wind power fraud. With rocketing power prices and an increasingly unstable grid, Germans … Continue reading German’s Furious as More Ancient Forests Felled to Make Way for Wind Turbines

Will Germany’s Winter Wind & Solar Power Collapse Mean the End of the ‘Energiewende’?

STT has a ‘thing’ for the English language. In the hands of adept practitioners, our mother tongue is capable of conveying all manner of complex concepts and ideas, and doing so with verve and wit.  However, in the hands of the well-paid spin doctors and useful political idiots that run with, and run cover for, … Continue reading Will Germany’s Winter Wind & Solar Power Collapse Mean the End of the ‘Energiewende’?

Germany’s Energiewende Nightmare: Grid Collapse Looms Due to Erratic Wind & Solar

*** As it goes in South Australia, so it goes in Germany: the attempt to run on sunshine and breezes has led to rocketing power prices, energy poverty and a grid on the brink of collapse. Here's NoTricksZone on the German debacle. ‘Manager Magazin’ Reports How Renewable Electricity Is Taking Germany On A Wild Ride … Continue reading Germany’s Energiewende Nightmare: Grid Collapse Looms Due to Erratic Wind & Solar

Wind Power Sends German Power Prices Rocketing as CO2 Emissions Continue to Rise

Germany has long been the poster-child for the wind-cult, the World over. But the way things have panned out, wind worshippers will soon need another pin-up girl. The cost of its maniacal rush into massively subsidised wind and solar to German businesses and households has been astronomical and, in the mother of all ironies, CO2 … Continue reading Wind Power Sends German Power Prices Rocketing as CO2 Emissions Continue to Rise

German Wind Farm Backlash Begins: Bavaria’s High Court Confirms 2KM Setback Rule

**** A couple of weeks back we ran a story on the Bavarian government's new mandatory setback rule (10 times the height: 10-H) which, with turbines towering 200m, means a minimum distance of 2km from homes. In closely settled Bavaria that rule spells the end for hundreds of proposed projects; and, coupled with the German … Continue reading German Wind Farm Backlash Begins: Bavaria’s High Court Confirms 2KM Setback Rule

German Wind Farm Backlash Builds: Bavaria Slams Brakes On Wind Turbine Roll-Out

**** Germany's rural vistas of rolling hills, cloaked in pine, spruce, beech and oak, verdant valleys and delightful gothic homes, that fall from the pages of the Brothers Grimm, have been over-run with more than 20,000 of these things. If there was still a market for Picture Postcards, then the State of Bavaria would be … Continue reading German Wind Farm Backlash Builds: Bavaria Slams Brakes On Wind Turbine Roll-Out
