There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce and the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby Is there no limit that this moron will go to wreck this country? Giant wind turbines taller than London’s Gherkin building are to be built across Britain’s countryside after Ed Miliband rejected calls to impose a height limit. The Energy Secretary’s decision means turbines as high as 850ft can […]

The UK equivalent of China’s restrictions on renewable power generation would mean even larger constraint payments than the current £billions, and even bigger increases in costly transmission lines than already happening or planned. But that’s the implication of pushing ever harder for mythical net zero targets, resulting in greater fluctuations between excessive electricity and shortage […]

The wind and solar industries’ so-called ‘social licence’ evaporated, years ago. Now, rural communities are on the war path. These days, they’re better armed and better equipped to take on rent-seeking carpetbaggers who couldn’t care less about destroying their peaceful and prosperous communities. Thanks to sites like this one, community defenders can spot the lies […]

When the wind stops blowing, wind power stops flowing. It’s that simple. If anyone is looking for proof that wind power is always and everywhere entirely dependent on the weather. Here it is. The graphic above comes from the boys over at Aneroid Energy and it depicts the output from every single wind turbine connected […]

Francis Menton asserts that the biggest disinformation (Lie) in public discourse is claiming that the cheapest source of energy comes from renewables, wind and solar power. He provides a number of brazen media examples in his blog post What Is The Most Pernicious Example Of “Misinformation” Currently Circulating? Why do I say that the assertion […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Paul Kolk A slow-motion collapse in the offshore wind industry continues to grow as sticky inflation and supply chain challenges force developers to delay or cancel major projects. In particular, progress towards the Biden administration’s goal of building large amounts of floating wind off the northeastern US coast […]
