My bet is that within about a decade, China will be taking multi hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions of dollars, of write-offs on its wind energy investments.

Wyoming has a secret eagle-kill organization
This secrecy must end. Federal agencies working in secret with wind interests, while golden eagles are being killed in large numbers, is not acceptable.
Balsa Trees Illegally Logged for Wind Power
Balsa wood is a key component of wind turbines, a near-perfect material for them.
Ed Miliband’s Wind Farms Could Cripple UK ‘Iron Dome’ Anti-Missile Systems and Leave Britain a “Sitting Duck”
Britain is a “sitting duck” for drone attacks, senior defence sources say, because Ed Miliband’s wind farms interfere with radar used by defensive domes.
A Windy Day!
It does not take a genius to work out that when Ed Miliband succeeds in tripling wind power capacity, there will be far too much wind power for the grid…
“Should LCOE finally be retired from energy policy?”
“The LCOE narrative has just collided with reality. If ‘cheap’ solar and wind really were enough, the energy transition would largely run on autopilot. Emissions would fall. Subsidies wouldn’t be…
The Problem With Wind Energy in the Northwest
With rapidly increasing demand for electricity, expected to roughly double by mid-century (see NW Power Council estimate below), without new generation capacity, there is a near certainty of blackouts, particularly…
RFK Jr. probes health dangers of offshore wind turbines
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate wind projects’ effects on the health and safety of…
UK Exporting Gas Power To Windless Europe
…yesterday we were exporting our gas power to Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands, because of the same shortage of wind power we were experiencing. (Gas and biomass power are the…
Japan’s Green Energy Failures Serve as a Warning to the US: Don’t Fall for the Climate Agenda
Japan’s offshore wind setback is more than a domestic issue. It is a global reminder of the dangers of ignoring full costs and clinging to illusions. Ambitious targets and political…
Which Are The “Stranded Assets” Now?
The prediction that wind and solar assets will become “stranded” is fundamentally different, and fundamentally sounder, than the comparable prediction for fossil fuel assets. That is because wind and solar…
U.S. “renewables” mad scramble to build is on
It looks like the U.S. renewables industry is going to be scrambling financially. This is certain for the next twelve months and maybe long after that. Watching the mad scramble…
Concern Over Safety Of German Wind Turbines Heightens After 70-Meter Rotor Blade Snaps Off
A 70-metre-long rotor blade of a V150 wind turbine fell from a height of 123 meters at the Lübbenow wind farm in Germany, heightening concerns about the safety of wind…
CFACT report: Feds fail to “offset” wind turbine eagle kills
At a minimum, FWS should issue no new wind power eagle-kill permits until the glaring issues uncovered in this study are resolved. Accurate electrocution death rates must be determined. Given…
Energy Investment Out of Balance… And It Could Cost Us All
Prioritizing these low-return investments while starving high-EROI energy sources will only drive costs higher for taxpayers, slow economic growth, and compromise grid reliability. If we continue down this path, the…
Climate Change Weekly # 547 — Polar Ice Is Not Following the Climate Crisis Narrative
In late April and early May, mainstream media outlets ran dozens of stories discussing the findings of a recent study that showed Antarctica’s ice mass was growing. The outlets called…
‘Net Zero’ Is Collapsing in U.S. States
From New York to California, state renewable electrical power dreams are collapsing. Power demands soar, while the federal government cuts funding and support for wind, solar, and grid batteries. Renewables…
Reliance on ‘Renewables’ Makes Widespread Blackout Nightmare More Likely
Will the disaster of April 28 make European leaders think twice about abandoning our most reliable energy sources? Hardly. Following the devastating blackout, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said his government would…
Blackouts Surge: How Fragile Grids Threaten Global Energy Security
We need to be honest with ourselves… wind and solar alone can’t provide energy security. Not today. Maybe not ever without massive redesigns. We have leaned too hard on brittle…
