If you missed the recent ‘Grok coverage on offshore wind, you can catch up here. Wind Power is not any of the things they say and mostly things they will not, and a plan to put turbines off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire is moving ahead despite the long list of negatives.

Save the Whales, No – Save The Wind! – PART 4: What Does It Mean For NH
New Hampshire has about 18 miles of coast along the Atlantic Ocean. The port of Portsmouth, still a working port, much to the chagrin of the new residents there, leads into the Great Bay and Little Bay watershed. Over the years, it has seen its share of controversy.
Save the Whales, No – Save The Wind! Part 2: FOLLOW THE MONEY
The Biden administration aims to establish 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power on U.S. coasts by 2030 and has put half a billion into just Offshore Wind—with a focus primarily on the East Coast.
White Guilt Wind
If White Guilt needed a poster Girl, there are many from whom to choose, but if you don’t feel like looking, Leah Stokes fits the bill. She is the senior author of a paper funded by pro-wind-energy concerns titled “Prevalence and predictors of wind energy opposition in North America.”
Politicians, Wind Power, and Another Hidden Tax
This week, the US Government held an auction for major wind projects in the Gulf of Mexico. There’s bad news: The US Interior Department tried to lease out three wind blocks in the Gulf of Mexico off the shores of Texas and Louisiana. There were zero bids for the two wind blocks in Texas.
When it Comes to Wind Farm Bat and Bird Strikes How Many is ‘Not Many’?
The Vermont Public Utilities Commission has instructed Avangrid Renewables to no longer track and report bat and bird strikes (deaths) at its 15-turbine Deerfield Wind project in Searsburg and Readsboro. Why?
America Is Asking China to Tackle their Climate Change Emissions.
Beijing has told our leadership: Nope, we don’t want to. But thanks for asking. Our Climate Envoy, John Kerry, arrived in China last Sunday. The purpose of his trip is to ask China to redouble its efforts on climate change emissions.
These Wind Turbines Need Diesel Generators and Often Draw Power Instead of Generating It…
Aside from the hundreds of billions in misguided government support, wind power doesn’t have much going for it. It is not clean or green. It kills bats, birds, and now whales. And in Scotland, they’ve had to admit that without diesel generators to warm and back up the turbines, they might work at all.
Massachusetts and Maine Embrace More Potemkin Energy
Grigory Potemkin is famous for allegedly erecting fake towns that appeared accurate when viewed from a distance. As the new governor of Crimea, he wanted to please his empress (with whom he was intimately engaged). Fast forward about 140 years, and we find ourselves with something similar.
Irony Alert: Does the “Wind Drought” Mean the End of ‘Global Warming’?
“Who’s trippin’ down the streets of the city, Smilin’ at everybody she sees? Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it’s Windy.” Except when it’s not. Europe went all-in on wind machines to power the future, and now they may not have one.
Innovation Alert: Wind Turbine Blades You Can “Recycle” Into Gummy Bears?
There are cleaner ways to burn fossil fuels and capable carbon capture research that has produced scalable solutions to CO2 “pollution” if you think that’s a problem. Researchers in Michigan created a composite resin for Wind Turbine Blades that can be “recycled” into gummy bears.
Another Ill Wind for Green Energy
There’s a Twitter post making the rounds about a windfarm in Mount Pulaski, Illinois. Just North of Decatur and Springfield, the place appears to be all in on wind. But wind power isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, and this post on social media has further darkened its door.
Green Party Vice Chancellor – Germany is Going to have to Burn More Coal
When Donald Trump declared before the UN Assembly that Germany would be at the mercy of Russia because of its green policies, the elites scoffed. Germany laughed. Four years later, Economy Minister Robert Habeck announced that Germany must burn coal because they can’t get enough gas from Russia.
Seven Score and Ten Dead Bald Eagles Later …
Wind turbines are one of the great conundrums of the green movement. The truly green animal rights-variety environmentalist want the false promise of wind power without the avian slaughter, but they are inseparable.
Green v. Green – Germany is Clearing Old Growth Forests to make Room for … Wind Turbines
Germany is a mess, but it still has some amazing old-growth forests. Or does it? Having scuttled its nuclear energy capacity after Fukushima! – probably at the encouragement of Greens – it is trying to replace some of that capacity with wind, to the frustration and anger of Greens.
Group Wants Offshore Wind Investment Mandated by Executive Order
If a governor can issue an order to declare a business essential or unessential, why not energy? Why not this? “Petition Asks Sununu For Exec. Order Telling N.H. Utilities To Invest In Offshore Wind Energy.”
Harvard: Wind Turbines Warm the Planet
It’s no secret – at least around here – that wind power is an incredibly dirty energy source. The meager output and life expectancy can’t begin to abate the destruction required to make and dispose of them. They kill birds, bats, and now, according to Harvard, they warm the planet.
September is Gone but the Stories That Made it Memorable are Not
Never a dull month. In September, we uncovered how the DNC championed the absence of religion. Nashua Democrats tried (repeatedly) to censor free speech (while some threatened conservatives).
BBC: Wind Power is Destroying the Planet
The BBC, an otherwise reliable cog in the globalist green energy agenda, is in a tizzy. It seems they’ve discovered a common material used in Green Energy infrastructure produces 23,500 times as much warming as CO2.
Antrim Environmentalists Lose to Antrim Environmentalists – Bird Choppers are a Go!
Green energy is the future if you have the brain of a bird but are not a bird. Smart people know wind and solar are not the answer unless the question is how do I cripple local economies and punish people by making energy more unaffordable and less reliable?
