More Wind Farm Troubles in Australia
Image: Renewables Now
At its worst, all those turbines produced 1.2 percent of the power that was needed. Across the nation, something like $15 to $20 billions dollars of infrastructure ground to a halt. (1)
As Joanne Nova reports, “Welcome to the green energy future.” It would be nice to believe this incident was due to all the old failing wind towers that used to be reliable workhorses. If only. Then there would be hope we could fix things.
But these were mostly new towers, and this is as good as it gets.
Nova compared the productivity of a 50 year old coal plant: the ancient old clunker Liddell, coughing its last after 50 years of operation. Only two of its four units were in operation, and both of them operating at much reduced capacity. Liddell delivered more power across the day than did every wind plant in the country. In fact, nine percent more power across the whole 24 hour recording period.
So, on that day, every single wind plant in Australia could not match the delivery from half of the oldest coal fired plant in the country. (1)
Previously, other failures occurred. On times in 2020, on average, every three days within a one hour period there was a sudden failure of 500 MW of wind generation—equal to one industrial coal turbine. That’s four full wind farms or about 250 spinning turbines that stopped spinning. Every time a coal plant trips out, it’s reported as a problem of relying on our ‘old coal fleet.’
But when the same power output fails from wind, it’s the new clean green future at work, and a sign we need to spend another $20 billion to ‘upgrade the grid’ with interconnectors we don’t need, notes Joanne Nova. (2)
In 2020 wind turbines at the Coppers Gap, the newest and biggest wind project to date in Australia, had to be repaired or replaced before the were even put into service. The issues at Coppers Gap added to a terrible run of problems for some of Australia’s largest wind farms, including the delays to the commissioning of the 336MW Dundonnell wind farm, and the fall of a blade from one of its turbines that stopped all production for several days. Also, the 420MW Macarthur wind farm delivered a relatively low capacity factor of just 26 percent in 2019. (3)
These examples are common in many wind farms, and are further proof that they are nothing but horrendously expensive virtue signaling white elephants, notes Andy Rowlands.
Peter, Paul and Mary, a popular folk song group in the 60s, wrote a song which had the line- ‘the answer is blowing in the wind.‘ Too many environmentalists have taken this literally. They should now add a caveat, ‘sometimes.‘ (2)

One of the tricks the elites learned was that material wealth could be generated by defining what people perceive as value.
The elites need us to switch from the current system before the derivatives bubble they created collapses and they’re left holding the bag.
In order to do this, the unelected have chosen to replace the perception of value with energy. To create value, they must be able to control the supply of energy and how people use it. One easy way is to tie the people’s movement with energy; you can only get so far on one charge, then have to wait for more to recharge (value). Another way is to introduce scarcity and uncertainty, which is accomplished through the manipulation of the grid.
The last step is to inextricably tie the people into the “value” by clamping their ability to purchase sustenance to the structure, and then applying an expiration date to the currency (universal income expires at the end of every month).
Its all part of the manufactured scam, and as usual, its the elites sitting behind it. The addition of a centralized digital currency to this system is nothing short of putting the chains around the neck.

A peaceful society of prosperous self sufficient people minding their own business does nothing for the elite. There must always be war, external enemies, domestic conflicts, racial strife such as fake Floyds, false flag events such as Los Vegas, hatred and manufactured crises at every turn.
The free market system must be destroyed and replaced with scarcity, rationing, austerity and deprivation for the herd as they are conditioned for the long planned U.N. banking cartel’s Agenda 2030-21. There will-however be “free” mandatory vaccinations for all of the cattle. On Orwell’s animal farm all the animals were equal. But some were more equal than others.

It is a bit odd watching them manufacture the value structure for their fictitious currency. We are literally watching it happen.

Green energy, just another part of the Zionist Agenda along with the blood toxin injections for the fake virus, originated with the Club of Rome branch of the elite’s power grab global warming scam (now repackaged as climate change) in 1968 and hypoed for many years by Occidental Petroleum’s communist CEO Armand Hammers political puppet Al Gore.
The goal is to create permanent energy shortages (also food) to damage the economy while blaming the problem on “climate change.” This is what has happened recently in Texas when Austin had half of its wind mills stop functioning when they froze up and the wind died down. Since shabbas goy Pritzker flunky Obama was in office they have taken scores of clean efficient coal fired plans out in this state so the asinine Green Energy fast track to 3rd world shit hole can be installed.
Just like the ethanol scam, the insiders are getting big subsidies for putting this crap in that don’t even pay for themselves, much less produce reliable cost efficient power. My daughter lives in Austin and was out of elec. for 136 hours and water for another day. Crypto Jew Abbott had just received his Green Energy Award and apparently had no concerns about the inherent weakness of this energy fraud along with former Texas Public Service Commissioner and now ERCOT (run power grid) Jew Sally Talberg who did not even live in Texas but in get this, Michigan. No doubt friends with former Soros employee Gov. Whitmer. This is the future of Jewmerica unless people wake up and reclaim their liberties.
Abbot reacted quickly to Texas urgent problems. Within days of this crisis he held a press conference to discuss the serious issue of anti semitism in the state. It had come to his attention that some members of our shabbas goy legislature had made comments on gab which is well known to be not an approved ADL (B’nai B’rith site. They were all informed “there is no place in Texas for anti semitic language.” We all know that just as the colleges found out from puppet actor Trumps;s ex. order, anti semitism is “whatever the Jews say it is.”

Got to give credit where credit is due. Peter, Paul and Mary made a hit out of “Blowing in the Wind,” the name of the song, by the way, but the writer was Bob Dylan. And the title of the song is where Australia’s future is headed. Notice that is blowing in the wind, not growing with the wind.

Another “counter culture” prop up. Robert Zimmerman, son of Abram. This movement was another psyop by the same elite that the drug culture was supposedly protesting. Jim Morrison of the band “The Doors” was the son of the Admiral George Stephen Morrison that ran the false flag Gulf of Tonkin attack and was also involved in the coverup with shabbas goy puppet actor LBJ (mother and grand mother Jews) of the 1967 Israeli attack on the Liberty with 34 Amer,. killed and 171 wounded. Pop icon and writer of :San Francisco John Phillips was son of Marine Captain Claude Andrew Phillips and had attended a series of military prep schools and was appointed to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Ellen Cohen (Case Elliot) was a family friend and attended the same high school as Phillips. Stephen Sills of Crosby, Stills and Nash was from another career military family and was educated at elite military academies. David Crosby was son of military officer and Annapolis graduate Maj. Floyd Delafield Crosby. Crosby’s family tree includes numerous U.S senators and congressmen, governors, mayors, supreme court justices and high ranking masons. The Three members of the band “America” Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek and Dewey Bunnell’s fathers all worked for military Intelligence. Frank Zappa’s father was a chemical weapons expert. Bruce Dern’s godparents were Eleanor (lesbian communist) Adlai Stevenson. Dern’s mother was sister of Roosenvelt official A.Macleish a Skull and Bones member. Henry Fonda was a Naval Intelligence officer. Dennis Hopper’s father was in Military Intelligence and the OSS fore runner of the CIA and Sharon Tate (of the fake Tate Murders) was daughter of Intelligence officer Col. Paul Tate. As a side note Lucille Ball got her position because she was raised by her grand father who was a radical socialist that used his house as a meeting place for planning sessions that included high level Jews of the film industry. Any one you see promoted by the Jew MSM is there by connections and for a reason. this is just an old and partial list.

Yes very interesting. What has all that got to do with Australian wind turbine failures?

Hello Andy:
The answer of course is nothing directly. But the same elite that managed the staged hippy movement and counterculture also manufactured the asinine global warming scheme and subsequent Green Energy scam in Australia and everywhere else. The same elite contrive the wars, 911, WMD’s, War On Terror, conduct the numerous false flag events, place the puppet actor politicians (such as the senile shell, Biden) in office, implement fake medical fear campaigns and control all of the MSM narratives. Other than that it is all a coincidence.

Hi Mark,
Are you aware of any connections, if there are any, with Don McLean of Bye Bye Miss American Pie fame? Just curious.

Did someone perhaps turn off the ‘wind switch’? Can’t trust the environment to obey orders these days.
