Wind Watch: Freakish follies will ruin precious part of a rural heritage
In their manufacture, importation, transport, installation and infrastructure, they would rack up a huge carbon and energy debt before producing one watt of electricity. Their actual energy output would be a fraction of the stated capacity, would be random and unpredictable and replace a tiny amount of carbon emitting generation.

They would be totally uneconomic but for the open-ended, unconditional subsidies provided by the Government to promote and underwrite such schemes.

Trees are very low cost, high efficiency, naturally expanding carbon capture/oxygen generating devices which come in a whole variety of attractive sizes and shapes. Where is the sense in clearing huge tracts of woodland to make way for devices that will never genuinely repay even their own emissions, energy or monetary costs?

Why sustainable power is unsustainable - tech - 06 February 2009 - New Scientist
Renewable energy needs to become a lot more renewable – a theme that emerged at the Financial Times Energy Conference in London this week.

Although scientists are agreed that we must cut carbon emissions from transport and electricity generation to prevent the globe's climate becoming hotter, and more unpredictable, the most advanced "renewable" technologies are too often based upon non-renewable resources, attendees heard.
Telegraph: Is the green lobby destroying the planet? :: Milo Yiannopoulos
Have you noticed how the grins on the faces of the global warming crowd are starting to look increasingly sickly? Even climate change zealots are starting to wonder if they've been guilty of scaremongering.

Global temperatures continue to decline. James Hansen, the global warming lobby's most celebrated cheerleader, has been disowned by his old mentor John Theon. He has been called "an embarrassment to NASA" and his work has been branded "unscientific".

I don't believe global warming is anthropogenic. But even if I did, the hysterical climate change industry (I use that word advisedly) are yet to provide plausible solutions to the "crisis".
