Farmers foolish enough to enter contracts with wind power outfits soon live to regret it. Having their land permanently contaminated by shredded fibreglass when turbines explode into balls of flame and/or their blades merely disintegrate (known in the trade as “component liberation”) is just one of a list of disasters waiting to happen. At first … Continue reading Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless

Locals’ War Against Industrial Wind Power Spreading Like Turbines On Fire
America’s rural communities hate industrial wind power with a passion and they fight. Well-organised and litigious, since 2015 America’s community defenders have knocked out over 600 industrial scale wind and solar projects, so far – see Robert Bryce’s Renewable Rejection Database. And they’re not about to let up. A wind power outfit backed by the … Continue reading Locals’ War Against Industrial Wind Power Spreading Like Turbines On Fire
Farmers Rejecting Wind Power Projects to Avoid Massive Clean Up Costs
Farmers are rejecting offers to host wind turbines to avoid being left with the massive cleanup costs after these things grind to a halt. At first blush, being paid an annual license fee of $10-25,000 per turbine, per year sounds lucrative enough. However, put that against the $600,000 plus cost of demolishing and removing a … Continue reading Farmers Rejecting Wind Power Projects to Avoid Massive Clean Up Costs
Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt
The great wind power fraud depends on unwitting land owners signing up to host turbines, on the promise of hassle-free 'easy' money, which in turn requires them to sell their souls to charming wind power outfits like Thailand’s RATCH (see our posts here and here and here). No turbine hosts; no wind industry. It's that simple. Farmers who do … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Callous Treatment of Rural Communities Driving Farmers’ Revolt
Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
When the wind industry fiasco inevitably grinds to a halt sometime in the next decade, those that entertained it – be it gullible farmers who traded 30 pieces of silver to destroy their communities or the local governments that rubber-stamped the planning applications that permitted it – are going to be left with a monumental cleanup … Continue reading Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
Blown Away: Counting the Colossal Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Monstrous Mess
Giant industrial wind turbines have an economic lifespan around 15 years, after which the chances are that they’ll be left to rust in some idiot’s back paddock. Decommissioning these things properly at a sizeable wind farm would run into the hundreds of millions. Then there's the toxic waste. Already, thousands of 45-70m blades are being … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting the Colossal Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Monstrous Mess
Bound & Gagged: Wind Industry Shuts Down Community Complaints Using Punitive Gag Clauses
The wind industry is a law unto itself, merrily crushing community opposition with the help of pliant and gullible politicians. And, where corruption reaches its natural limit, cash takes over. Mind you, spending other people’s money is always a treat. Leases with farmers who ‘host’ the turbines and so-called “good neighbour” agreements with their neighbours … Continue reading Bound & Gagged: Wind Industry Shuts Down Community Complaints Using Punitive Gag Clauses
Suckers Sign Here: Wind Turbine Hosts Taken For Fools By Developers in One-Sided Land Contracts
The great wind power fraud depends on a few gullible land owners signing up to host turbines, just to pocket a few pieces of silver -selling their souls to charming wind power outfits like Thailand’s RATCH (see our posts here and here and here). No turbine hosts; no wind industry. Lured by annual licence fees of around $10-15,000 per turbine, … Continue reading Suckers Sign Here: Wind Turbine Hosts Taken For Fools By Developers in One-Sided Land Contracts
Thinking About Welcoming Wind Turbines in your Community? Well, Think Again – An Avoidable Nightmare Awaits
Communities that were gullible and naïve enough to welcome wind turbines inevitably end up regretting being played for dupes. And it’s a regret that lasts a lifetime. Promises of money for jam; being led to believe that everyone involved is about to save the planet from imminent incineration; and being told these things are quieter … Continue reading Thinking About Welcoming Wind Turbines in your Community?
