Bats are just another creature being tormented or slaughtered by the wind industry as sets about ‘saving’ the planet.

Courtesy of 40-70m long blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350 km/h, rare and endangered bat species are being wiped off the face of the earth at an astonishing rate. It’s not just direct collisions – the low-pressure zone created around the blade path is enough to burst the blood vessels in their little lungs, with fatal results.

In Canada, three species are taking the brunt: eastern red, silver and hoary bats are being slaughtered in their millions, every year.

The wind industry and its cultish followers have no difficulty justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic wastelands in China (where the rare earths essential to wind turbines are processed); power prices that punish the poorest and most vulnerable…

There was an article in The Guardian last April that typifies the reporting, or rather non-reporting, about China’s use of coal: “China-ramps-up-coal-power-despite-carbon-neutral-pledges — local governments approved more coal power in the first three months of 2023 than all of 2021.”  

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/24/china-ramps-up-coal-power-despite-carbon-neutral-pledges

The article bends over backwards to avoid criticizing China, noting that in 2020 China’s Xi Jlnping had pledged that China would be carbon neutral by 2060, as if a goal that far out was meaningful given the climate change “crisis.” Furthermore, burning more coal is OK for China because as the last sentence informs us, “last year Xi said that coal will remain a mainstay of China’s energy mix that ‘would be hard to change in the short term.’”

Nowhere in the article do we learn that China and GE have teamed up and have spent a lot of time and money designing more efficient coal burning generation plants…

It’s easy to miss some dramatic differences between the Trump years and the Biden years. Take, for example, the “tell-all books,” either written by journalists who are granted access to insiders or books written by the insiders themselves.

By this time in the Trump term – the summer of 2019 – we were 18 months into “tell-all season.” But no Biden insiders are writing a “tell-all book.” We’re not counting memoirs by the family – by Hunter Biden, or Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen, or the president’s sister Valerie. We’re talking about hyper-negative books.

There seem to be two books by journalists with some internal detail. Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger wrote “The Bidens,” which came out in September 2021, to almost zero TV attention.

Last January, Chris Whipple came out with a book titled “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House.” But he wasn’t a…

Letter to the Editor

The Australian                     19 June 2023

Madness comes in many forms, from King George III of England to Marcel Leyat from France, who in the 1920s designed a wingless aeroplane and marketed it as an automobile (John Connolly, Weekend Australian 17.6). Given that a large propeller mounted on the front of a car is quite dangerous for pedestrians, most normal people would see that as insane.  But the Kevin Rudd-inspired Grattan Institute probably thinks it’s an idea for our times, given that they have now come out with the mad idea of ripping out all gas-operated stoves and appliances across Australia, in the name of, you guessed it – achieving  net Zero (Gas ban plan to hit Green…
