A week or so back, ex-Department of Energy and Climate Change apparatchik, and now head of RenewableUK, Hugh McNeal dropped the mother of all clangers, when talking about the “future” of wind power in Britain (see our post here). The subsidies for wind power have been slashed and the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers … Continue reading Wind Power Scandal Explodes & ‘Heads Must Roll’: James Delingpole Lists Britain’s ‘Most Wanted’

Trillion Dollar Irony: Europe’s Wind Rush Sends CO2 Emissions Soaring
If “saving” the planet is – as we are repeatedly told – all about reducing man-made emissions of an odourless, colourless, naturally occurring trace gas, essential for all life on earth – then European energy/environmental policy has manifestly failed. And what an expensive failure it is. In the following piece, the delicious term ‘irony’ springs … Continue reading Trillion Dollar Irony: Europe’s Wind Rush Sends CO2 Emissions Soaring
Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
Pinning its hopes to a wholly weather dependent power source – that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional generation sources – Britain’s energy ‘policy’ was never going to end well. Already faced with an unstable grid and rocketing power prices thanks to its gamble on wind … Continue reading Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
Wind is ‘Free’: It’s Wind Power That Has Cost Us $BILLIONS
The wind cult keeps telling us that the wind is 'free' and, limited to that, there could be no quibble. However, what their tortured meaning extends to is the claim that electricity generated by allowing these things to caress the breeze is also free; or if not literally 'free', so cheap as to be truly … Continue reading Wind is ‘Free’: It’s Wind Power That Has Cost Us $BILLIONS
James Delingpole: Who Protects Britain’s Birds from the RSPB?
**** James Delingpole, hot on the hypocrisy trail, pops up a fair and reasonable poser: who protects Britain's birds from its Royal Society for the Protection of Birds? (BTW: We've added a few graphics to help James make his point). RSPB: We must build more bird-chopping eco cruifixes James Delingpole Breitbart 26 May 2016 Britain … Continue reading James Delingpole: Who Protects Britain’s Birds from the RSPB?
Wind Power: the Wick Just Ain’t Worth the Candle: Energy Return vs Energy Invested Explained
In most scenarios involving the sane, equipped with cool, analytical heads, the economic choices we make (and the policies that surround, support or reflect them) are driven by a simple equation: that the economic cost should be outweighed by the benefits on offer. In less than a figurative heartbeat, energy policy has been hijacked by … Continue reading Wind Power: the Wick Just Ain’t Worth the Candle: Energy Return vs Energy Invested Explained
Wind Industry Corruption: Plug Secretly Pulled on Wind Farm Health Investigation
Back in March STT reported on events in Huron County, Ontario – where, overwhelmed by health complaints, regional authorities appeared to have relented in an effort to gather the evidence of the known and obvious effects of incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound - and to act on it (see our post here). We … Continue reading Wind Industry Corruption: Plug Secretly Pulled on Wind Farm Health Investigation
Wind in the Gallows: Study Shows Badgers Suffer Merciless Stress & Torment from Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration
The Wind in the Willows (Kenneth Grahame) has been a childhood favourite for more than a century. The exploits of Toad, Rat, Mole and the elusive but respected Mr Badger, stand as an allegory of what is deemed worthy in the British concept of character, and their understanding of what constitutes good and bad manners. … Continue reading Wind in the Gallows: Study Shows Badgers Suffer Merciless Stress & Torment from Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration
South Australia’s Wind Power Chaos: Victoria’s Coal-Fired Plant its Only Salvation
Wind cultists have been making the brazen claim that the rampant proliferation of these things in South Australia led to the demise of Alinta's coal-fired plant at Port Augusta. The perverse economics of the LRET (and the market distortions of directing RECs - currently worth $80 - to a 'product' with NO commercial value) is … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Chaos: Victoria’s Coal-Fired Plant its Only Salvation
Texan Pyrotechnic Turbine Terror: Wind Power Setting the World on Fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD0lc8YpXe8 **** Utterly pointless, on every level; and insanely dangerous to man and beast, one of the more exciting features of these things is their ability to spontaneously combust. Above is a video, and below is the story and pics, of a recent piece of 'green' energy pyrotechnics on the Prairie. Watch it burn: Multiple … Continue reading Texan Pyrotechnic Turbine Terror: Wind Power Setting the World on Fire
