Germany’s Wind Power Disaster: the Perfect Lesson on How to Simultaneously Wreck an Economy & the Environment

The Germans went into wind power harder and faster than anyone else – and the cost of doing so is catching up with a vengeance.

The Wind Industry’s Jobs Bonanza Myth Smashed, Again

Germany’s Wind Power Surges Plunge Their Neighbours Into Darkness

**** The economics of Germany's “Energiewende” are so bizarre, that you’d think it had been put together by the GDR’s ‘brains trust’, before the Berlin Wall took its tumble in 1989. In Germany, around €100 billion has already been burnt on renewable subsidies; currently the green energy levy costs €56 million every day. And, the … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Power Surges Plunge Their Neighbours Into Darkness

It’s the Poor Who Suffer Most from the Great Wind Power Fraud

**** In a number of posts we've covered Bjørn Lomborg's critical analysis of how runaway renewables policies - and the spiralling power costs they cause - are having a devastating (and disproportionate) impact on the poorest in developed economies - and how they threaten to lock the poorest billion or so of our planet's inhabitants … Continue reading It’s the Poor Who Suffer Most from the Great Wind Power Fraud

Friday Funnies: German Satirical Take on Renewables Disaster

STT has focused on the debacle that is German renewable policy this week, taking a close look at its disastrous renewables policy - the product of an economic suicide pact endorsed by Germany's "Grand Coalition" tagged "GroKo".

Instead of reducing CO2 emissions, the Germans have spent €billions subsidising thousands of giant fans and - despite the grandest of … Continue reading Wind Power: All Pain & NO Gain
