Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses

The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has insurers ready to tighten the terms of the policies offered to cover them. As with any bookie, the odds of winning (or losing) are always reflected in the price the punter pays. Insurance, is no different. International insurance broking took off […]

Constant Community Pests: Giant 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep ‘Dropping’ In On Neighbours

For wind industry spin-kings, one pesky problem that won’t go away is the routine and catastrophic collapses of their 300 tonne whirling wonders. We’re repeatedly told that rural communities just can’t wait to have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards.

Want Safe, Reliable & Affordable Electricity? Then Start Thinking Nuclear, Right Now

The French get 70-80% of their power from nuclear plants and haven’t suffered so much as a scratch since they started in 1962. By contrast, the wind industry (which really only got off the ground in the late 1990s and still generates a trifling amount of electricity) has clocked up around 200 fatalities, (eg, see above) […]

Planet Saving Power: Nuclear Power Cleanest & Safest Form of Energy on Earth

The fact that very few climate warriors are out there seriously promoting nuclear power, speaks volumes about what’s really driving them.
