The offshore wind industry is desperate to coverup its use of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) - a highly toxic and an extremely potent greenhouse gas. It’s critical as an insulating medium, used in the switchgear housed in the offshore and onshore substations necessary to get DC electricity generated miles offshore, back onshore. Bear in mind that … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Caught Lying About Toxic Sulfur Hexafluoride Use

Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Here’s everything you wanted to know about offshore wind power, and it’s all bad. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. Then there’s the mounting and irreparable environmental harm - ecologically destructive and deadly to marine mammals, as well as fishing … Continue reading Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
The offshore wind industry is wiping out thousands of marine mammals and fish are its next victims. While plenty has been written about whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals being deafened by wind turbine construction activities (they don’t respond well to sonar and seismic blasting), less notice has been given to fish, crabs and other critters … Continue reading Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Spreading millions of solar panels and spearing thousands of wind turbines far and wide doesn’t make sense, at any level. Intermittent and diffuse energy sources do not represent progress in the state of human affairs; that was the way of the world pre-Industrial Revolution - science, enterprise and engineering made all that a part of … Continue reading Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Lobster Tales: Offshore Wind Farms Leave Lobsters With Deformed & Crippled Young
Crabs and lobsters are being mesmerised, deformed and crippled by the peculiar electromagnetic fields created by the cables that connect offshore wind turbines. A recent scientific study found that the magnetic fields generated by these cables attracts crabs that then remain in place, fixated on the magnetic field, effectively immobilising them. Now, another study relating … Continue reading Lobster Tales: Offshore Wind Farms Leave Lobsters With Deformed & Crippled Young
Endangered Atlantic Right Whales Next Victims of Offshore Wind Power Push
The endangered Atlantic Right Whale appears to be the wind industry’s next victim; it already has plenty of offshore industrial activity to contend with. But oil and gas extraction, international shipping, and commercial fishing have obvious embodied economic benefits. Whereas, the only economic benefit derived from wind power is the subsidies it attracts. No subsidies. … Continue reading Endangered Atlantic Right Whales Next Victims of Offshore Wind Power Push
