Wind turbines were meant to improve the weather, now it seems these things are making it worse. Bear in mind the weather worriers are fretting about changes of a degree or two (apparently an increase of just 1.5°C means instant disaster and pumping it up by 2°C means an irreversible catastrophe). There is already plenty … Continue reading Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts

Energy Transition: Germans Revolt Against Wind Power – As Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Germany’s wind power transition has hit the wall: rural Germans are sick and tired of the noise, ruined landscapes and communities; and Germans of all persuasions are fed up with Europe’s highest power prices, which continue to rocket as a consequence of its so-called ‘renewable energy transition’ aka the ‘Energiewende’. Thanks to massive subsidies and … Continue reading Energy Transition: Germans Revolt Against Wind Power – As Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Black Forest’s Bleak Future: German Wilderness Wiped Out to Make Way For 1,000 Wind Turbines
Apparently, turning wilderness into smouldering ash is all for the greater good, provided it’s to make way for 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, aka wind turbines. Germany has speared over 30,000 of these things across its countryside. As land for doing so has become increasingly scarce, the strategy has been to clear-fell forests that were … Continue reading Black Forest’s Bleak Future: German Wilderness Wiped Out to Make Way For 1,000 Wind Turbines
Game Over: German Wind Industry In Free Fall As Renewable Energy ‘Transition’ Hits the Wall
Germany’s wind industry is now demolishing wind turbines faster than it can build them. During 2020, the Germans managed to add a paltry 200 new wind turbines to its fleet of over 30,000. Meanwhile, hundreds have already been demolished and - with hundreds more reaching the end of their economic life - the only growth … Continue reading Game Over: German Wind Industry In Free Fall As Renewable Energy ‘Transition’ Hits the Wall
Grinding Halt: Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Armageddon As Turbine Running Costs Escalate
Thousands of Germany’s wind turbines have reached the end of their economic lives; and replacing them is no simple matter. First, the costs of doing so are colossal. Secondly, the behemoths that might replace their ancestors are so large as to exceed the height limits placed on turbines by Germany’s planning rules. Pierre Gosselin can … Continue reading Grinding Halt: Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Armageddon As Turbine Running Costs Escalate
