Windy myths
The industrial wind nonsense has reached a whole new level.RWE, one of the German companies spearing its giant turbines across Scotland and lecturing us insignificant rural dwellers that it is necessary to “save the planet”, is actively dismantling a wind development in its home country to make way for its dirty brown coal mine expansion.
The sooner people realise that wind developers are not our saviours, the better. They follow the money, our money. They will go with whatever pays them the most and keeps their shareholders happy. Wind has predictably been unable to give Germany energy security. Vladimir Putin has turned their gas tap off, nuclear was demonised and now they are turning back to lignite to keep their lights on and their citizens warm before all the trees get cut down by desperate families.
If ever a lesson should be learned this, is it. Putting all your eggs in the renewable basket will lead to blackouts and misery. Green is the new blackout and renewables should be renamed The Regrettables. Until our policy makers get a grip and engage with independent engineers and economists we are heading for a very dark, cold and expensive future.
Saddle up the green unicorns, folks, it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.
