End the “Green” Delusions: Industrial-Scale Renewable Energy Is Fossil Fuel+

Renewable energy is not the solution we think it is. We have inherited the bad/good energy dichotomy of fossil fuels versus renewable energy, a holdover from the environmental movement of the 1970’s that is misleading, if not false. Fossil fuels are correctly understood to be at the heart of capitalism, industrialism, and state formation, the results of which have been ecologically catastrophic.

Energy development on your land? Don’t throw caution to the wind #AUS

With wind, solar and battery developments playing a critical role in achieving Australia’s renewable energy targets, landowners continue to be approached by energy proponents and developers across the country seeking to secure agreements to undertake energy developments on their land. It is all too easy for landowners to be dangerously distracted during negotiations by the returns promised by energy developers and the benefits associated with income diversification. However, an energy development is not a “set and forget” project. They are . . .

Wind farms dry surface soil in temporal and spatial variation #CHN

Abstract – Wind energy is renewable and clean; however, the long-term operation of wind turbines can affect local climates. Soil moisture affects ecosystem balance, so determining the impact of wind farms on soil moisture is important. However, there has been little research on this, and only the impacts of wind farms on climate and vegetation have been considered. This study focuses on wind farms located in the grasslands of China. We analyzed changes in soil moisture in different wind directions and . . .
