Wind parks threaten to change Germany into an industrial wasteland and future junkyard that will stand as a monument to the greatest environmental folly of all time. As Germany and Europe race ahead to eliminate fossil fuels and cut off their gas supplies, plans are being drawn up to reduce the hurdles against wind park […]

Energy policy is sliding Germany ever closer to failure and disaster…”more CO2 emitted per kilowatt hour in electricity generation than India or China”… “landed in 127th place out of 147 countries in the ranking.” Earlier this year, even though the natural gas supply from Russia had been stopped, Germany remained hell bent on moving ahead […]

Germany’s Blackout News here reports that not only is Germany’s energy supply faltering profoundly, but so is its wind industry as well, reporting that it is “sliding into a crisis”. Gloomy outlook also for Germany’s wind energy industry. Photo by P. Gosselin Wind energy is supposed to step in and play a key role in […]

Wind energy installation stalls, firewood becomes scarce as Germany shuts down its coal and nuclear power, sees gas stockpiles dwindle away. Firewood is getting scarce in Germany as heating prices skyrocket. Photo: P. Gosselin As natural gas and oil for heating skyrockets, many Germans are now turning to firewood as a way to keep warm […]

Unsustainability in the name of “sustainability” Symbol photo. Copyright: Pierre Gosselin Lately we’ve been reporting on what many people are calling one of the greatest environmental felonies in Europe: the deforestation of the 1000-year old Reinhardswald, known as the “fairy tale forest”, in order to make way for largescale industrial wind parks to produce “green” […]

Stefan Rahmstorf has problems with his sources By Die kalte Sonne Translated by NoTricksZone Stefan Rahmstorf, is just as we know him. In a new Spiegel column, the climate researcher from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research attempts a sweeping blow – but apparently without really checking the numerous sources he links to. Recycling […]

German environmental destruction: 200-meter tall industrial wind turbines less than 1000-meters from a residential area get approved, forest gets cleared, popular hiking route gets converted into an access road. Deforestation to make way for Industrial wind turbines. Symbol photo by P. Gosselin The German city of Hagen, located in North Rhine Westphalia, approved the construction […]

Before their approval, largescale projects in Germany – almost without exception – have to be studied to determine their impacts on the surrounding environment. This step seems to be ignored for North Sea wind farms. Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne. Wind farms are altering the North Sea Atmospheric wakes extending from the bottom to the top […]

Germany’s government has not only taken a wrecking ball to the nation in terms of COVID, but also to its biodiversity in its self-deluded bid to protect the climate. Clearing of 2000 hectares in one of the last undisturbed forests has begun as State of Hesse issues the construction approval for massive industrial wind park. […]

Wind turbines do not reduce surface warming. They enhance it. Wind power expansion is thought to be “green,” reducing CO2 emissions and consequent surface warming. But a new study (Qin et al., 2022) affirms the warming “saved” by emissions mitigation is easily exceeded by the direct surface warming from turbine-atmosphere interactions. In assessing of the […]

Germany’s coalition agreement and the 2% target for wind energy By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt (Text translated/edited by P. Gosselin) After the phase-out of nuclear energy at the end of 2023, the coalition agreement aims to bring forward the phase-out of coal, “Ideally, this already would be achieved by 2030“. To this end, renewable energies are […]
