“it should be socially unacceptable to be against wind turbines in your area – like not wearing your seatbelt.”
The seatbelt silliness comes from Ed Millibrand, former energy and climate change secretary, now Labour leadership contender. And then there’s this gem from the same UK Telegraph article which suggests that, to accommodate industrial wind’s shortcomings, you only need to … Continue reading
And your thoughts on industrial wind? “I say North America must REVOLT big time and put a stop to this madness!”
These are not the words of a single NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard). These words represent an ever growing chorus of citizens rising against the onslaught of industrial wind. Of course, the dismissive term NIMBY, used by wind shills … Continue reading
Developing wind farms: It all comes down to money.
So, let me get this straight … if we don’t let you build your turbines anywhere you want, you won’t buy any of the electricity we might accidentally produce from ours? Well, that seems to be the “take my ball … Continue reading

Jon Boone: “I note the Ontario wind output is now at 0.4 % of it’s installed capacity. A little lower and it will meet the needs of Fantasyland.”
So cynical! I’m happy to report that since Mr. Boone’s comment, output from Ontario’s 1,100 MW of installed capacity has more than doubled. Current Ontario Wind Output = 11 MW, or enough to meet the needs of Espanola – 11am … Continue reading
Industrial wind: “enough to run 70,000 clothes dryers”
Our regular visitors know that the popular IESO Wind Tracker is “stuck” in first post position. The IESO (Independent Electricity System Operator) of Ontario states that “Ontario is on the forefront of wind in Canada with almost 1,100 MW of … Continue reading
Maryland industrial wind logic: “They had their privacy for years, and that’s being disturbed and interrupted. But the county has done what it had to do.”
I always liked folks who, when finding they screwed up, take the hit. No qualifiers, no excuses! So, we’ve got one of this country’s largest utility in the process of constructing a $140 Million wind project which will plop more … Continue reading
“we show that it becomes doubtful whether wind energy results in any fuel saving and CO2 emission reduction. What remains are the extra investments in wind energy”
Roger Pielke Sr’s Climate Science blog offers an excellent guest post by Dr. C. (Kees) Le Pair. The wind industry cannot be pleased with this analysis. Read the full post here: Guest Post On Wind Energy By Dr. C. (Kees) … Continue reading
