Renewables Generated Demand For Rare Earths Generating Toxic & Lasting Legacy
05 May 2022 Leave a comment
Sure, China profits from the great wind and solar scam, but it comes with a toxic legacy caused its rare earth processors that make it all possible.
Every wind turbine, every all-EV and every solar panel critically depends upon a myriad of so-called ‘rare earths’.
The minerals in question have become ‘rare’, of late, as a consequence of the Western world’s insatiable appetite for ‘feelgood’ electricity generated by sunshine and breezes, occasionally stored in giant lithium batteries, as well as the thirst among the truly virtuous for the ultimate exhibition of moral posturing: the all-electric vehicle.
As the demand for rare earth minerals continues to grow, principally driven by subsidised wind and solar and all-EVs, so too does the mountain of toxic filth left behind during mining and, particularly, processing.
Much of the processing occurs in upcountry China; a veritable earth away from the places where homes glisten with solar…

Brits Belted: UK’s Subsidised Wind Power Obsession Leaves 3,000,000 Households Suffering Energy Poverty
04 May 2022 Leave a comment
Millions of British households face another bitter winter, unable to meet their rocketing power bills. An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind power (both off and onshore) has sent power prices spiralling. And, adding to the misery, the annual cost of renewable energy subsidies, Feed in Tariffs, fixed contract prices for wind and solar etc to British households will soon reach £12,000,000,000. The current cost is already nudging £10,000,000,000.
While their parliamentarians squabble about the terms on which Britain will sever its ties with Europe, ordinary Brits are fretting about how they might light and heat their homes as temperatures plummet. Heading into winter, some 3,000,000 households are already in “energy debt” and collectively owe nearly £417,000,000 to their suppliers.
Here’s a roundup on the consequences of Britain throwing all to the wind.

No Escape: How Households Suffer Astronomical Cost of Great Wind & Solar Scam
04 May 2022 Leave a comment
Working out what households pay for subsidies to wind and solar is a task, in itself. Naturally, the crony capitalists that profit from the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, are keen to conceal the extent of the state-sponsored larceny from their unwitting victims.
To the same end, their political enablers often talk about the cost of wind and solar subsidies – and other hidden green levies – per household, in terms of the cost of a cup of coffee or scoop of ice cream.
Which might make sense, if the metaphorical cup was the size of an Olympic sports stadium and the scoop of vanilla swirl was big enough to fill it.
Dr John Constable has been on a quest to reveal the true cost born by British households for their government’s renewable energy obsession, for years.
Here he is again, with a tally of what can…
