Rank hypocrisy comes in all shapes and sizes, but the kind that attends the renewable energy zealot is an altogether different species. The wind power acolyte is always ready to spear hundreds of giant 240m (787ft) high industrial wind turbines into your backyard, but hits the apoplexy button if the ‘favour’ looks likely to be … Continue reading Renewables Zealots Love Spearing Wind Turbines in Your Backyard – But Not Their Own

Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
Half-a-million Americans are furious at the offshore wind industry for killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins – aka the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. Hundreds of thousands of civic-minded folk are justifiably … Continue reading Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales
America’s offshore wind industry has an almighty whale of a problem. Sensible folk are no longer enamoured of an industry that is killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins … Continue reading 400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales
Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching
Wind power outfits once ran a line about wind farms providing new and exciting tourist opportunities. Inquisitive folk would pack the kids into the Prius and head into the country, so they could get up close and personal to a few of these whirling wonders, drawn in by their purportedly majestic awe and left feeling … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching
From Bad to Worse: Wind Industry’s Mounting Woes Down to Naturally Woeful Performance
The wind industry’s eventual implosion is inevitable and unavoidable, just like death and taxes. Start with the fact that these things can never deliver power as and when it’s needed, and you’ll begin to understand that the industry’s woeful performance sits at the heart of its current crop of mounting woes. Eventually all the loose … Continue reading From Bad to Worse: Wind Industry’s Mounting Woes Down to Naturally Woeful Performance
Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
The collapse in Atlantic Right Whale numbers runs in parallel with the increase in the number of offshore wind turbines planted into their (once) natural environment: numbers declined from 480 to 340 whales between 2010 and 2022. But, rather than putting a halt to the imminent and complete destruction of a charismatic seaborne mammal, the … Continue reading Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
Offshore Wind Industry Gets Licence To Kill Right, Sperm & Humpback Whales With Impunity
Hundreds of whales are being killed by the offshore wind industry, and it’s been given a license to do so, with complete impunity. Let’s call it a ‘green light’ for industrial murder. Offshore outfits along the US Atlantic coast have clocked up something like 178 whale fatalities since construction began and their turbines first started … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Gets Licence To Kill Right, Sperm & Humpback Whales With Impunity
Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment
‘Offshore’ means out of sight and out of mind, when it comes to the environmental destruction these things cause. No one sees the countless numbers of seabirds wiped out of existence by 60-70m blades with their outer tips doing over 350 km an hour. No one sees the destruction of undersea ecosystems, the seabed ripped … Continue reading Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment
Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout
If the wind industry gets its way, it’s curtains for the already endangered Atlantic Right Whale. Taking giant industrial wind turbines offshore threatens whales of all shapes and sizes, including the Atlantic Right Whale. Whales already have plenty of offshore industrial activity to contend with. However, where oil and gas extraction, international shipping, and commercial … Continue reading No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout
