We’re repeatedly bombarded in the mainstream press about how sunshine and breezes (nature’s wonder fuels) will soon replace conventional fossil-fuelled electricity generators, altogether. Indeed, were also told that this so-called … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Still an Expensive Joke: Fossil Fuel’s Contribution to World Energy Demand Continues to Rise

Open Competition: What the Wind Industry Fears Most
**** Among the myriad fictions spread by the lunatics that spruik for the wind industry, is the claim that wind power is not only competitive with conventional power generation sources, it’s actually cheaper than the cheapest of them all: coal – see this ruin-economy piece for a trip to Alice’s world of make-believe.

The Fossil Fuel-Free Fantasy: Robert Bryce Hammers Harvard’s Human-Hating Ecofascist Hit Squad

In his 2010 book “Power Hungry: The Myths of “Green” Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future” (Public Affairs), Bryce skewered every one of the myths relied upon by the wind industry to peddle its wares; and went … Continue reading The Fossil Fuel-Free Fantasy: Robert Bryce Hammers Harvard’s Human-Hating Ecofascist Hit Squad
Why Coal Miners, Oil and Gas Producers Simply Love Wind Power
