Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council long ago disqualified itself as a body fit, willing, or even able to investigate and report on the known and obvious consequences to human health and well-being caused by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. From the get go, it’s been infiltrated by wind industry consultants, such … Continue reading Australian Senators Demand Wind Farm Moratorium: NHMRC (finally) Decides to Conduct Actual Health Research

The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom
**** In their sillier moments, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers pitch the line that their pointless product is not only getting cheaper all the time, but go so far as to claim that wind power is already cheaper than gas and coal-fired power. Risible PR antics aside, the wind industry has always had … Continue reading The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom
Germans Face Wind Powered Economic Nightmare: €Billions Squandered on Subsidies, as CO2 Emissions Rise
**** 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 subsidies have been colossal and the impacts on the electricity market chaotic. Some 800,000 German homes have been disconnected from the grid – victims of what is euphemistically … Continue reading Germans Face Wind Powered Economic Nightmare: €Billions Squandered on Subsidies, as CO2 Emissions Rise
Germany: 60-Tonne Wind Turbine Rotor Crashes To Earth

Workers of the Hamburg-based Nordex company were operating a large hoisting crane by remote control as it lifted the 60-tonne wind turbine rotor assembly for mounting … Continue reading Germany: 60-Tonne Wind Turbine Rotor Crashes To Earth
Australia’s Wind Industry Under Siege: LRET Subsidy Set to be Slashed (Again)
**** Subsidy won't generate target Australian Financial Review Ben Potter 10 March 2016 Less than a 10th of the wind and solar generation capacity required by the renewable energy target this decade is under construction, which could force the Turnbull government to renegotiate the controversial scheme with the opposition. Significant shortfalls under the cross-subsidy scheme … Continue reading Australia’s Wind Industry Under Siege: LRET Subsidy Set to be Slashed (Again)
Wind Turbine Rollout Turns Californian Desert from Dream to Nightmare
**** Stop ruining our priceless desert in the name of the big 'E' The Bakersfield Californian Girard Fisher 1 March 2016 Ever been to Nipton? It’s a whistle stop on the northern edge of the Mojave National Preserve. It’s as far west of the California state line as nearby Primm, Nev., is east. In other … Continue reading Wind Turbine Rollout Turns Californian Desert from Dream to Nightmare
Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
**** Nuclear power is the only stand-alone thermal power source that is base-load, which does not emit CO2 emissions, while providing what we all justifiably crave: power on demand. It’s true that geothermal falls into the same category, but away from volcanic zones (think New Zealand and Iceland) depends on accessing “hot-rocks” deep underground – … Continue reading Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
Wind Power Costs Crushing South Australian Businesses: Firms Hit with 90% Price Hike
**** South Australia embarked upon its wind power 'experiment' more than 15 years ago, when its Labor government climbed into bed with the boys from Babcock & Brown (aka Infigen) and a disgraced American lawyer and convicted con-man, Tim Flato (who robbed his clients of close to US$400,000, got struck-off, and scuttled off to set … Continue reading Wind Power Costs Crushing South Australian Businesses: Firms Hit with 90% Price Hike
Britain’s Wind Power Debacle: Wind Power Outfits Paid £200 Million a Year for Producing NO Power at All
**** 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 … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power Debacle: Wind Power Outfits Paid £200 Million a Year for Producing NO Power at All
Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
The dimwits from DECCs, that coupled Britain's energy future to wind power, are calling on Britons to trust them in an almighty 'Leap of Faith'. With aging, beyond their use by date, coal-fired power plants being closed this year, British power punters are being promised, by the very idiots that created the mess, that everything … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
