As the wind industry rips up huge tracts of Australia’s wilderness, including pristine tropical forests, the iconic koala is literally for the chop. The wind industry treats the koala as yet another expendable critter – just likes whales, dolphins, eagles, hawks, bats and more. The US offshore wind industry has been given the green light […]

In COP 28, the moderates won, and the radical alarmists lost, wasting everybody’s time in the process. The actual negotiations got no press. It was noise all the way down.

COP28 Optics: Deal to “Transition Away” not “Phase Out” Fossil Fuels

Once again equivocation rules climatists. After the uproar over demands to “phase out” hydrocarbon fuel, the wording was changed to say “transition away.” Thus the divide is papered over while alarmists claim agreement was reached to “leave it in the ground.” Others will point to language such as “transition away in a just, orderly and […]

When so-called ‘sustainable’ investment funds pull the plug on wind and solar, you know the party’s over. As 2023 closes out, ‘green’ energy investors are facing a brutal and harsh reality: wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. Worse still, governments backing the grand wind and solar transition are having a hard […]

Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere

Once upon a time, the object was delivering power to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Not anymore. Chaotically delivered and heavily subsidised wind and solar have another object, and it is not one that their proponents dare speak of. If delivering reliable and affordable power were the object, then no one would be talking about […]
