Germany has begun felling up to 120,000 trees from the 'fairy tale' forest of Reinhardswald – setting of many Brothers Grimm tales – to make way for wind turbines. But not a peep in protest comes from the Greens.
Yesterday's budget added £1.4 billion to energy bills owing to its massive increase in subsidies for renewables, including £800m for offshore wind. If wind power is so cheap, why does it need so much subsidy?
France enjoys electricity prices 41% cheaper than Germany thanks to its nuclear industry, while Germany becomes increasingly dependent on unreliable renewables and environmentally harmful biomass.
The Daily Sceptic does not usually endorse commercial or investment opportunities, but this one is an exception. It’s simply too good to miss. At last, the global energy crisis has a credible, sustainable solution.
One of India’s iconic large birds, the great Indian bustard, is feared to be about to go extinct due to the growth of electric transmission lines from wind and solar power. Just 150 birds may remain.
Robert Jenrick is right. There is a genuine risk of blackouts if Labour's decarbonisation targets are pursued, says David Turver.
A Net Zero military will lose, says Guy de la Bédoyère. "At no time in history has a state consciously chosen to compromise its capability by seeking to introduce unreliable equipment." But we are now.
Our enemies are weaponising our luxury ‘green’ beliefs against us as we enter the second phase of a global war, says energy expert Prof Gwythian Prins. "Net Zero threatens national security."
A wind turbine in Wales has exploded after bursting into flames. The Fire Service said that "pieces of the wind turbine were falling nearby".
The revelation that the U.K.'s ambitious climate target is based on just one unusually windy year's data threatens to unravel the credibility of the whole Net Zero project.
