Australia’s prime agricultural land is being carpeted with endless seas of solar panels and thousands of these things are being speared everywhere the panels can’t go. Dilute and diffuse, wind and solar require a staggering amount of space, and way more than their occasional, weather (and/or sunshine) dependent power generation can ever hope to justify. … Continue reading Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland

Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future
Wind and solar generation spreads like cancer. Dilute and diffuse, intermittent and unreliable the wind and solar generators’ demand for land is insatiable. And because every single MW of wind or solar generation capacity has to be backed up by another MW of dispatchable power generation (coal, gas, diesel or hydro) to accommodate sunset and … Continue reading Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future
Growing Land War: Real Farmers Fight Back Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Unreliable, intermittent and diffuse, wind and solar are collectively chewing up enormous tracts of once productive farmland. The simple explanation for which is the massive subsidies which wind and solar attract. They can’t compete in the electricity market without subsidies and mandated targets, nor can they compete in the market for land without the same … Continue reading Growing Land War: Real Farmers Fight Back Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered
Wind power never adds up: it doesn’t matter how many turbines carpet your horizons, in calm weather total output always amounts to nothing. For sheer density, the Germans win hands down, with more than 30,000 of these things carpeted across Deutschland’s rural landscapes and, once pristine, forests. And yet, from late September, through October and … Continue reading Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered
Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
The Sierra Club reckons wind power is the future, but hundreds of industrial wind projects have been canned across the USA, and plenty more are being quietly withdrawn, thanks to growing community resentment and hostility towards industrial wind power. The only way to prevent industrial wind power from destroying your hitherto peaceful and prosperous community … Continue reading Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
Destination Destruction: Wind and Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring Planet’s Dwindling Resources
Miners love wind and solar - demand for iron ore and coal has never looked rosier, and at the heart of every Electric Vehicle, solar panel and wind turbine there’ a bevy of rare minerals which are fast becoming rarer, thanks to our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future and the … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Wind and Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring Planet’s Dwindling Resources
How Green Was My Valley: Big Solar’s Big British Land Grab Continues Unabated
To generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity using wind and solar, you need the best part of a continent do it. But, if your ‘continent’ is little more than a postage stamp to begin with, then carpeting the productive and/or prettiest parts of it with an endless sea of solar panels is … Continue reading How Green Was My Valley: Big Solar’s Big British Land Grab Continues Unabated
