Adding wind turbines to a power grid is like pushing on string; the effort applied rarely matches the output at the other end of the line. Australia has one the world’s largest interconnected grids, covering Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - with wind turbines plastered far and wide across every one of … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Why Every New Wind Turbine Built Is Costing You Serious Money

Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Even after 30 years and endless subsidies, no country is powering itself exclusively with the wind and solar; no country ever will.

Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Squandering other people’s money is what the wind and solar industries do best. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t exist without massive and endless subsidies. The chaotic power they occasionally produce has no commercial value and as Warren Buffett put it “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the … Continue reading Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Trump Slams Wind Power: Making America Great Again Means Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
Teenage girls in woolly hats weren’t the only ones screaming when Donald Trump took the presidency, the wind and solar industries were furious, too.

Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power
Raising a raft of unnecessary danger, the wind industry’s body count currently stands at 192. Flying blades, collapsing and/or self-immolating towers account for their fair share of corpses. But those that take to the air, shouldn’t overlook the number of pilots and their passengers who’ve come to grief, thanks to a wind turbine or their … Continue reading Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power
Renewables Retribution: Spiralling Power Prices Punish Poorest & Most Vulnerable
The relationship between rocketing power prices and intermittent wind and solar is pretty obvious. Just ask a South Australian, German or Dane. The USA is a relative Johnny come lately to the RE obsession bandwagon. There are a couple of obvious exceptions, namely Texas and California. But among the other 50 states, the wind and … Continue reading Renewables Retribution: Spiralling Power Prices Punish Poorest & Most Vulnerable
Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind ‘industry’ would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply their … Continue reading Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Fantastic Nonsense: Claims About All Wind & Solar Powered Future Completely Implausible

These days, those peddling that myth are guaranteed to be in on the greatest government-backed rort in history. Fantastic stories continue to appear about our imminent transition to a world that runs entirely on 100% … Continue reading Fantastic Nonsense: Claims About All Wind & Solar Powered Future Completely Implausible
US Wind Power Fraud: It’s Coal, Gas & Nuclear That Powers the Land of the Free
America’s resurgent prosperity is partly the product of its recent shale oil and gas revolution. From sea to shining sea, the US is awash with cheap gas; adding to its already abundant supplies of coal. With electricity prices around one third the cost paid in wind and solar obsessed Australia, anyone promoting that pair in … Continue reading US Wind Power Fraud: It’s Coal, Gas & Nuclear That Powers the Land of the Free
Wind Power Fiasco: Texas Faces Summer of Shortfalls, Rationing & Blackouts
Any state or country thinking about running on sunshine and breezes has enough disastrous examples to make them think twice. Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: massively subsidised, unreliable and intermittent wind power undercuts reliable coal-fired power plants; some of those plants close; power prices rocket; and grid managers suffer conniptions as they … Continue reading Wind Power Fiasco: Texas Faces Summer of Shortfalls, Rationing & Blackouts
