The wind industry is mounted on myth and fuelled by fantasy. In Australia, its parasites and spruikers must believe that we are still cut off from the known world (suffering from what was referred to as the “tyranny of distance”) when they peddle stories about Europeans still being wedded to wind power. On that score, … Continue reading Lessons from Denmark: Danes Slash Wind Power Subsidies to Salvage Economy

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

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 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
