Australia’s only wind tower manufacturer goes out of business
 
By Jo Nova

More proof that wind power can’t be used to make wind turbines
The one and only Australian manufacturer of wind turbine towers is going out of business, despite Australian electricity reaching 35% glorious renewable, and the Prime Ministers big plan to have the $22 billion dollar Future Made in Australia, as well as our galloping Net Zero fantasy to reach 82% renewable by 2030. We are, in theory, supposed to install 40 new wind towers a month somewhere in Australia, but none of the towers, it turns out, will be Australian made.

Imagine what we could do if Australia were the largest exporter of iron ore and coal in the world?  The government could still screw it up.

Right now, we ship the iron and coal 7,000 kilometers away with heavy fuel oil, to be made into windmills to save the world, only to ship them right back, rather than make them here.

Future Made in Australia

Renewables are the cheapest source of electricity on Earth, they say, and Australia has twice as much as China (proportionately). But China makes 65% of all wind turbines globally, and soon Australia will make 0%.

Have they decided manufacturing EVs is less risky? :whistle:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Average height of those power units is about 260 ft. No way you are going to get anything to put that out, short of helicopter drops, and who would want to fly a helicopter up there with no way to predict where those blades were going to be?
In other words, stand back a safe distance and watch it burn, and try to control the fires it starts.

We recently had some prairie fires here in ND, near Ray, Alamo, and Tioga. They burned over 88,000 acres before they were contained, in a matter of a few hours.
The burn scars were visible from space. Winds were 40 MPH, gusting to 60.

Land some of that crap in the middle of dry grass or cropland with the wind behind it, and it's going to bet complicated.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Excellent clip.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but after viewing this, most certainly will.

Note the amount of petroleum products required to support and maintain the "magic" windmills...
