German Banks & Investors Banned From Investing In Off Shore Wind Farms
Stricter financial rules in Germany now mean that off shore wind farms can no longer be financed by banks
Germany is in a serious mess with its energy supplies, the German government was stupid enough to bow to the hysterical screams of the Green environmental lobby and shut down all its nuclear power stations.
The Greens rejoiced, prematurely as usual, that nasty bunny bothering reliable nuclear power was gone, Germany would be powered by the Green dream of solar and wind power, what could possibly go wrong?
All of it to be precise.
Just about all of the Green renewables dream has gone down the tubes, a glut of solar panels, cheaper competition from China and cuts in the life blood of renewables, Green taxation on energy bills have killed German solar, stone dead.
In the greed driven rush to grab the Green subsidies, the normally efficient and detail obsessed Germans have built a massive wind farm off Heligoland without any means to connect the wind farm to their national grid.
Tighter fiscal rules in Germany have now killed the off shore wind farm: Read the rest of this entry
Wind Farms Cause Localised Warming At Night, But It Is Nice Eco Warming
Study shows that wind farms increase night time temperatures by .72 C, but do not worry because experts say this type of warming would be beneficial.
Apart from turning birds of prey into raptor mince, bursting the lungs of bats flying nearby, destroying the environment where they are manufactured, producing an unreliable electricity supply, pushing up energy costs with their lifeline of Green subsidy, wind farms now cause localised warming at night and very large wind farms have the potential to alter weather systems as well.
A study by the University of Illinois shows that wind farms decrease day time temperatures slightly and increase night time temperatures: Read the rest of this entry
Wind & Solar The Only Green Is The Colour Of Money
They’re Not Green is a new 1 hour documentary that exposes the real truths about wind farms, the video clip is part 1 of the film, you can see more here and 3 more parts on Nettie Peña’s web site.
The film deals with usual problems of Green subsidies, bird deaths and fast emerging problem of wind turbine syndrome which is caused by the new generation of even bigger bird choppers.
Renewables have always been about the money to be made, not matter how the Greens try and big up companies and individuals who install wind turbines and solar panels as Green, the huge Green subsidies are the main driver of renewables as this story from 2010 about a solar power subsidy scam shows: Read the rest of this entry
Germany – A Country Run By Green Infallible Führers
Wind Farm in the Rhineland Palatinate
Wind farms are becoming universally hated by all but the Green zealots with their sacred carbon targets and the rich landowners who are grabbing billions in Green subsidies across Europe building more and more wind farms.
In a trend sweeping across the industrialised nations ordinary people are protesting in droves about the bird choppers blighting the landscape, the problems of turbine low frequency noise know as Wind Turbine Syndrome and its impact on health and property values, then, there are the costs of the Green subsidies that push energy bills ever upwards.
Increasingly wind farms are causing friction between real environmentalists and those using environmentalism to obfuscate their Green marxist agrarian agenda.
In the US raptor deaths caused by wind farms are causing Green groups to take legal action to shutdown wind farms to stop the slaughter of protected bird species, wind farms are so divisive they even pit Green against Green.
Now German Greens are learning the hard way, that among their number are Green infallible Führers: Read the rest of this entry
US Ends Green Subsidies For Wind Farms
There are going to be a lot more abandoned wind turbines in the US, real soon, as the Senate votes to end 20 years of Green susbsidies for wind power.
In the US wind farms have been subsidised since 1992 by the Wind Production Tax Credit (PTC), which was usually extended for 1 – 2 year periods; in 2009 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act extended subsidy for wind power until the end of 2012.
An extension of the PTC, the subsidy that allowed wind to be competitive with other forms of energy, has been left out of a payroll tax cut extension currently making its way through the US House of Representatives, without a change of policy wind subsidy ends in 2012.
The Americans have subsidised wind power for 20 years, and yes, you guessed right without Green taxation the US wind industry is dead, and now the extension which needed 60 votes in the Senate to pass has failed: Read the rest of this entry
RenewableUK Hiring Hippies To Protest For Wind Farms
It is bizarre enough that the EU has ploughed millions of euro’s into funding Friends of the Earth and WWF, so that the EU could fund the lobbying to support its own Climate Religion agenda, but the latest turn of events in the implosion of the Green Dream is even more bizarre, hire hippies to protest for wind farms to be built.
Until recently an organisation called the British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) was the voice of the renewables industry in Britain, now renamed RenewableUK.
RenewableUK have a lobbying organisation called Action For Renewables, who in the face of increasing public and political opposition to wind farms are seeking to recruit hippies and set up their own ecomentalist groups to protest for the building of wind farms, so that the economically unviable companies the UKRenewable represents can continue to hoover up £120 billion in Green taxation over the next 10 years.

The European Green Agenda Is In Crisis
The Green Agenda in Europe now has as much future as this fallen wind turbine
The winds of change are blowing through the corridors of power in Europe, the once unassailable and politically correct Green Agenda is getting buffeted from all sides.
Germany once so keen on being Green has found that Greenness costs more money than the Germany economy can afford, the €100 billion solar failure and a looming global trade war over the EU’s illegal Green flying tax have proved too much for Germany, where Climate Change skepticism now abounds.
The EU has until been recently one of the last places on earth where Climate Religion is taken seriously, the Green agenda was relentlessly pursued by former British Climate Change minister Chris Huhne and unelected EU Climate Commissar Connie Hedegaard who wanted ever more stringent emissions legislation in the erroneous and forlorn hope that the rest of the world would follow their idiocy.
The latest proposed EU budget wants to spend €1 trillion on fighting non-existent Anthropogenic Global Warming, this is likely to get a hostile reception from Poland who has already stated it will use its Veto in tomorrow’s meeting of EU Climate Religion ministers: Read the rest of this entry
Wind Farms – Will Be Seen As A Monument To Green Stupidity
E.on plan to build between 100 - 195 wind turbines off the coast of East Sussex
Any proposal to build a new wind farm these days meets with opposition from local people and the latest plan from E.on to construct a massive wind farm off the East Sussex coast is running into stiff opposition.
If built, the wind farm would be visible from Brighton beach, which would make the Rampion Wind Farm a site of religious significance for the Green Party that run Brighton and an eyesore and money pit for everyone else as can be seen from this letter to the West Sussex Gazette: Read the rest of this entry
Scottish Lib Dems Face Wind Farm Protests At Spring Conference
You don’t live here Mr Clegg. We don’t want your vision of wind factories here.
The opposition to wind farms in Britain is growing daily, leading the fight in Scotland is the Caithness Windfarm Information Forum (CWIF) who are taking the protest to the Scottish Lib Dem’s spring conference.
Lyndsey Ward of CWIF made a speech to wind farm protestors: Read the rest of this entry
British Wind Farms Are Over Subsidised And Wasteful Of Public Money
British Wind Farms are "over subsidised and wasteful of public money" - PM David Cameron
Finally, at long last the politicians have woken up and smelt the coffee, Green energy and jobs are just an expensive mirage, the public know and now the politicians realise the public know.
Time for a political damage limitation exercise, Cameron and all the other erstwhile believers in Climate Religion will never admit their gullibility in believing the warming alarmists scary lies about Anthropogenic Global Warming, but as politicians they need an exit strategy from the Church of Climatology.
So expect a 50:50 mix of criticism like Cameron’s words at Prime Ministers Question Time which were later followed by the classic there are “perfectly hard-headed reasons” for still building wind farms, expect the “hard headed reasons” to be mentioned less and less as the politicians slither away from the Green Dream.
