		<description><![CDATA[The New Zealand Wind Energy Association commissioned a report from Infometrics which was released a few days ago. It claims that New Zealanders could be $390 pa better off with 20% more wind energy than at present. However, Bryan Leyland has some harsh things to say about it, including that it is &#8220;riddled with flaws&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This one&#8217;s really off the radar. Wind farms, along with solar power and other alternative energy sources, are supposed to produce the energy of tomorrow. Evidence indicates that their countless whirring fan blades produce something else: &#8220;blank spots&#8221; that distort radar readings. Now government agencies that depend on radar &#8212; such as the Department of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8211; by Matt Ridley, British author and journalist. Originally titled &#8220;Gas against wind&#8221;. Shale rock where you can see it. Deep under the earth, shale is frequently full of natural gas, which moves only slowly through the rock. Water injected under high pressure cracks the rock and releases the gas. Clean, plentiful natural gas is [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard to know what to say about Tom Wigley&#8217;s new paper on the climatic repercussions of replacing coal with natural gas: he says gas and coal are both good, and they&#8217;re both bad, but the truly remarkable thing is that, where for [...]]]></description>

A new British study shows the real-life failures of wind turbines to deliver on over-optimistic green promises. It surely forecasts a shift in public opinion on wind farms.

There is no proof that wind farms reduce carbon dioxide emissions and it is ludicrous to believe that a few windmills in Australia are going to improve global climate.

		<description><![CDATA[Wind power fails freezing Britons Richard Littlejohn, of Climate Realists, describes Britain&#8217;s alarming winter which has exposed the practical impossibility of ever relying on wind turbines for electricity generation. Three days ago, their 3150 turbines were contributing only 1.6% of the nation&#8217;s power supply; some days it&#8217;s been zero. But Richard says: It gets better. [...]]]></description>

But who is climbing up to clean the snow off the solar panels so they can collect another derisory trickle of energy, around midday only, from the pale winter sun? Meanwhile, quietly, efficiently and unseen by [...]]]></description>
