So-called 'green' energy is struggling with a monumental image problem: the toxic waste being dumped in landfills around the world. Millions of solar panels have already reached their use-by dates; they can’t be recycled, which means they’re destined for the local dump - in mind-boggling quantities. Then there's the threat to health that concentrated dumping … Continue reading 200 Million Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Destined For Landfills Near You

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
Never-‘Green’: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Creates Environment For Total Ecological Disaster
Believing that industrial wind power and solar panels are destined to improve our environment requires high-level cognitive dissonance. It demands that the true believer ignores the wholesale environmental destruction required to mine and process the minerals in rare earths needed for turbines and panels, not to mention the mega-batteries are supposed to lovingly store the … Continue reading Never-‘Green’: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Creates Environment For Total Ecological Disaster
‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked
Every good cult needs a mantra. For the anti-progress crowd, it’s the line that ‘green’ is good. However, in the way that Humpty Dumpy could make words mean anything he chose them to mean, ‘green’ has taken on a meaning all of its own. The same goes for the nonsense tag ‘renewable’; there’s nothing renewable … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked
Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter
The wind industry’s mass slaughter of birds and bats is well-known, but the avian carnage caused by solar really rates a mention. Notwithstanding efforts by the wind industry and its pet environmental consultants to conceal the scale of the havoc caused by 60m blades with their outer tips travelling at 350kph, anyone vaguely interested is … Continue reading Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter
Filthy Future: Wind & Solar’s Toxic Waste Legacy Problem For Next Generation
Wind and solar acolytes show their true colours when it comes to the toxic waste legacy being generated by wind turbines and solar panels. In a case of out of sight, out of mind, the fact that thousands of wind turbine blades are already being dumped in landfills and millions of solar panels are headed … Continue reading Filthy Future: Wind & Solar’s Toxic Waste Legacy Problem For Next Generation
‘Green’ Energy Myths Busted: Putting Solar’s Massive Upfront Energy Cost In The Frame
There’s no such thing as “free energy”: both wind and solar generators start their productive life with substantial energy deficits. Of course, their owners and operators are only interested in the subsidies they generate. But others are keen to take full account of the amount of energy employed before wind turbines or solar panels get … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Myths Busted: Putting Solar’s Massive Upfront Energy Cost In The Frame
Toxic Heavy Metal Cocktail: What’s Really Inside Solar Panels
The RE acolyte is all care and no responsibility, which helps to explain his obsession with solar power. With millions of solar panels already at the end of their useful lives and off to be crushed and dumped in local landfills, it’s probably a good time to find out precisely what’s inside them. For the … Continue reading Toxic Heavy Metal Cocktail: What’s Really Inside Solar Panels
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
Solar’s Toxic Legacy: When the Panels Wear Out, Who Cleans Up the ‘Green’ Energy Mess?
Because solar panels can’t be economically recycled, millions upon millions of them are headed for landfill. Around the globe, countless millions of panels have already reached their use by dates. Over the next decade millions of tonnes of them are headed for the dump. Each panel is a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, … Continue reading Solar’s Toxic Legacy: When the Panels Wear Out, Who Cleans Up the ‘Green’ Energy Mess?
