New York’s RE Debacle Deepens: Offshore Wind Power All-at-Sea Without Massive Subsidies

Where the cost of onshore wind power is staggering, the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical.

Believe in Unicorns & Pixies? Why Not Believe in the Fantasy of Wind Power, Too?

The wind-cultist is a special breed: long on starry-eyed belief; short on our good friends ‘logic’ and ‘reason’ – occupying a fact-and-consequence-free netherworld, in which their favoured form of power generation arrives as a result of meteorological serendipity and, when it doesn’t, the power still appears, as if by magic. Except that the ‘magic’ was […]
