Wind Power Disaster: South Australians Grapple with Rocketing Power Prices, an Unstable Grid & Rolling Blackouts
**** In Australia's wind farm capital, South Australia the terms ‘chaos’ and ‘crisis’ are used to describe the aftermath of an energy policy ‘designed’ on desktops by dimwits, who haven’t got the faintest clue about how power generation works (or much else, for that matter).

UK Election: Brit’s Insane Wind Power Policy the “Elephant in the Room”
**** Britain's insane wind power policy is, like elsewhere, the invisible policy-pachyderm. No-one with skin in the political game dares to speak about its true costs, its full impacts on power punters, or on how it threatens the very ability of a grid designed for on-demand generation sources to function, with the addition of an … Continue reading UK Election: Brit’s Insane Wind Power Policy the “Elephant in the Room”
US “Wind Power States” Pull the Plug on Massive Wind Power Subsidy Schemes
**** This time last year, we took a look at the States in the US where $billions filched from power consumers and taxpayers have been thrown at wind power outfits, as a massive, and seemingly endless, stream of subsidies; and the skyrocketing power prices that have been the result: Want skyrocketing power prices?
