Onshore wind has no future without massive subsidies. And as far as the Osage Tribe is concerned it will get removed! Watch the operator ask for Simonides for the removal too!

A no subsidy auction shows us who was swimming naked when the tide goes 'offshore'.

It's silly to blame the uneconomical nature of renewables on "high interest rates". Interest rates are not high; they're just starting to return to historical norms, and that should have been foreseen.

Fiscal responsibility starts at the top. No more subsidies for any type of electricity production. None, zero, zip, nada!!!!

Do you have anything more to say other than the headline. All I can say is “ I hope you are right “ !!

However , ALL “ renewables “ require massive subsidies both to produce power and stop putting excess and unnecessary electricity into the grid.

It really is utter madness.

In Australia they get at least 4 sources of funding. And even our coal fired power stations have to be funded to stay operative and producing. However repairs are delayed due to the threat of shutdown. And those same power plants are owned by foreign owners and State governments who contract foreign players to maintain them.

It is such a hotch potch that it is a wonder it works. But it renders power to pull the plug at their ( foreign interest ) discretion whose motive is power and control.
