Call wind and solar whatever you like, but there’s simply no rational basis to call them ‘clean’ or ‘green’. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent – after a decade or … Continue reading Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’

Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Wistful children playing in flowery fields beneath fleets of whirling wonders is how the wind industry sells itself. The reality ain’t so pretty. Embedded in every 300 tonne juggernaut is a bevy of minerals and a mountain of energy used to create the feelgood fiction that the kiddies are safely frolicking beneath a truly useful … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas
Any enquiring mind has already rumbled the fact that the grand wind and solar reset is a great ‘green’ fraud. Wind turbines, solar panels and mythical mega-batteries require more energy to produce than they’ll ever repay. Miners love it, of course, with the insatiable demand that’s been generated by delusional autocrats and cynical rent-seekers. Although, … Continue reading Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas
Dream On: Finite Mineral Resources Mean Grand Wind & Solar Transition Must Inevitably Fail
As the grand delusion of an all-wind and sun-powered future unravels in Europe, rational thinkers are turning to the insatiable demand for minerals that comes with the ‘inevitable transition’ and pointing out that what's contemplated is not only impossible, but simply ludicrous. The volumes of high-value minerals such as copper and aluminium required in every … Continue reading Dream On: Finite Mineral Resources Mean Grand Wind & Solar Transition Must Inevitably Fail
‘Green’ Fraud: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring The Planet’s Scarce Resources
Rent-seekers and the MSM keep telling us the transition to an all-wind and sun-powered future is not only inevitable, it's a cinch. The power pricing and supply calamity playing out in renewables-obsessed Germany and Britain stands as a pretty fair counterpoint, to that nonsense. Then, we’re told, it can all be done, provided it's “done … Continue reading ‘Green’ Fraud: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring The Planet’s Scarce Resources
Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Incapable of delivering power as and when we need it, wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources. But, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they are first rate. Wind turbines and solar panels devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Their insatiable mineral demand (and … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
Economics is about using scarce resources to meet insatiable wants; in contrast wind and solar devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable … Continue reading Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
