Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster

Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing. Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position … Continue reading Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster

‘Greens’ Destroying Germany’s Ancient Forests To Make Way For Industrial Wind Turbines

To make way for over 30,000 of these things, the German wind industry has ruthlessly clear-felled ancient forests, once considered out of bounds. Provided the wilderness being turned into smouldering ash is used as a platform for hundreds of 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, it’s all for the greater good. Trashing thousand-year-old oak trees and … Continue reading ‘Greens’ Destroying Germany’s Ancient Forests To Make Way For Industrial Wind Turbines

Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch

Far from being the panacea for a changing climate, wind power generation is now, apparently, a victim. Over the last few months, wind power output has thoroughly collapsed in Germany, across Western Europe … Continue reading Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
