Wind towers dominate the landscape of northern Spain in all directions, as this frame from a UK man's video indicates.

“LOOK at them. Windmills, hundreds of them, as far as the eye can see,” commented a British visitor to Spain, who stopped on the side of a freeway to record the sight on his phone camera.

What also startled the UK visitor was that none of them appeared to be working. “I don’t understand this any more. None of this seems to make business sense or common sense. This is utterly insane what we’re doing to the planet … Call me old-fashioned, call me a conspiracy theorist, but this ain’t right at all. Another ponzi scheme.”

The sudden and total collapse of Spain’s renewable energy grid this week brought to light the reality of so-called renewable energy. Spanish politicians were bragging only a few weeks earlier that the country had achieved its “first weekday of 100% renewable power on the national grid”.

The UK man’s last comment was closer to the truth than he perhaps knew. Academics at the University of Guelph in Canada have researched the wind farm phenomenon and are saying almost exactly that: Wind turbines run on subsidies, not wind, and enrich wind farm corporates while impoverishing taxpayers, says Economics Professor Ross McKitrick.

“All the arguments they put foward for the Green Energy Act (Canada) really turned out to be phony once we looked at them closely,” he said. McKitrick said wind turbines produced power that cost 13.5c a kilowatt-hour to generate, while traditional sources cost 3.5c kWh, which simply raises costs for the productive economy.

“Nobody was building wind turbines in Ontario until the government started throwing money at it. It is not a profitable source of electricity, it is not cost-effective. Wind turbines can’t compete on the wholesale market without a lot of government support.”

Cairns News is aware that the Australian federal government massively subsidizes wind turbines. A former federal Liberal Party staffer from Western Australia said the subsidies ranged from around $600,000 per turbine, while the Institute for Public Affairs says that in 2024, through the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) subsidy scheme, a total of $1.04 billion was transferred from electricity consumers to the largest 50 wind farms operating in Australia.

This is the same scam outlined by Professor McKitrick: Multinational wind energy companies raking in billions of dollars from so-called renewable energy schemes globally – based on years of agitation by naive, but well-organised environmentalists pushing the anti-carbon narrative.

McKitrick’s findings have been made public in a documentary called Down Wind, produced by Surge Media.

“Progressive” governments in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and Europe, influenced by Green parties, have had a long-running infatuation with so-called renewable energy, apparently ostensibly because they believe they have some sort of score to settle with “big oil” and “big coal”.

Instead they’ve been duped by “Big Green”, a trillion-dollar-a-year business destroying western nations’ power generation capacity. China, the major supplier of all this “green” technology with more than 1100 coal-fired power stations, must be laughing.

    “Maybe if some of our govt weren’t doing as they were told by the global elite we could make a dent in their plans to enslave us. Maybe if they stood up to them around the world it would make a difference.”

    Why would anyone rely on ‘our govt’ to do ANYTHING for us?
    You should know by now that they are ALL a treasonous pack of humanity loathing liars, who are in fact an essential component of ‘the global elites’ society destroying, diabolical agenda…
    Why do so many people still expect their oppressors – the ones who are enforcing this tyranny to help them?? It’s insane to even think they care about us.
    NO Suzanne, it’s up to US – the sleepwalking, subjugated, obedient and cowardly sheeple around the world (especially in Australia and NZ), to grow a backbone and stand up to ‘the global elite’ and their subservient, treasonous govts, by NOT COMPLYING en masse.
    Only when WE (not our lying treacherous and invalid govts) do that, would it make a difference.

  2. Banjo, Sorry to write this but: “Free energy = perpetual motion does not exist! – on this plane of existence…” Other dimension? Who knows?

  3. Lex Stewart, Well explained, the same for many other so called free energy collectors.
    Appreciate you explained that one, because people do not think about that at all…
    Therefore in Kwh terms it is only AFTER a wind turbine has been operating 20 years that one begins to get “free” energy.

    hey;
    this time the power outage was just for one day;

    are you ready for a longer one;
    because what if this was just a test run;

    if yall was any smart you’d be thinkin dont be so dependent on computers fools;
    computers are just a tool;

  6. Lakeland solar farm in Queensland has trees growing in between the panels blocking the sun. And through wet season the grader grass covers them.

    The wind turbines between Mareeba and Atherton in Queensland are extremely haphazard, I’ve never seen more than half working at the same time.

    The wind turbines in Ravenshoe are normally off because the wind is to strong.

    Don’t get me wrong I’m not connected to a power grid and use solar power to permanently live in Cape York, but the 18kva Diesel generator automatically runs for 2 hours a day 365 days a year.

  8. All the stories of failed wind turbines make me wonder why they don’t have a tail so they can redirect themselves in case of gusty conditions. They remind me of the story of the “bomb-detectors” purchased by, was it, the UK cops (?), these were a little gun handle thing with an antenna poking out, which soon turned out to be a hoax, after lots of them were purchased.
    re: free energy, the aborigine guy on the Australian $50 note was famous for trying to invent a perpetual motion machine so this has come back in a different form, like Spanish flu 1919 came back as Covid-19, I should make a list of things which came back to haunt us.

  9. Bushman Pete
    My wife and I have tripped around Spain, and we found the same issue with wind turbines.
    Most of them not working and the very few that were working were facing all different directions even when alongside each other . As for solar power, I was shocked to see the number of solar farms around the country.
    I am concerned that by the time the majority of people experience the actual truth with solar power, the horse is bolted. We invested in 3 phase solar power on our property and is a debt that will never be recovered. What is amazing is that when the mains power goes down, our installation is useless as it’s not wired to power our property during blackouts. One argument is that to invest in a lot more money for batteries. Anyone can do the maths for initial outlay, times recouping monies from suppliers, [ this actual return getting less and less], factor in depreciation and maintenance leaves you with an investment nightmare. Also Dick Smith has an interesting article regarding the grid going down and a very costly backup battery system chronic failure.
    My understanding is that individual systems can be shut down in the event of natural disasters or high power consumption such as heatwaves to prevent total system failure.
    With the aftermath of cyclone Alfred and many thousands of houses and properties left with power, how many of these homes had solar power that could not function.
    The other situation I find strange is that the enormous amount of coal we export to countries around the world for coal fired generation, plus many countries building nuclear power plants – hello Australians missing something here.
    People need to get a copy of The History of the Commonwealth Bank, get a copy of The Lima Convention, look what happened to us when we were put on world oil parity pricing, the history of taxation, good place to start to see where Australia started derailing.

  10. In France they’ve been closing down wind farms and fining owners due to public outrage over bird kills.

    A major incident happened a few weeks ago when a Golden Eagle was killed: one of a mating pair. It was native to the region, well known, and obviously loved by everyone.

    Even the French Greens are reviewing their position on these hideous contraptions, so hopefully we’ll be seeing the back of these useless eyesores.

    The recent WEF coup against the recently retired Schwab, not only highlights the organisation’s internal breakdown, but also reveals a growing collapse of their Agenda 30.

  11. He, he… What profiteth us to name and shame those responsible when they simply change names at the drop of their hats. Chameleons work in mysterious ways.

  12. There is something that hardly anybody talks about and that is the little ice age. It’s a cycle of 350 to 400 years and the last one is know as the Maunder Minimum which started in 1645. That was 380 years ago!

    Please carefully read this article: https://www.climatedepot.com/2024/04/17/astrophysicist-warns-about-the-coming-little-ice-age-its-already-started/

    Also go to this site: https://solargsm.com/ and I would recommend this utube podcast: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=SawIG4TNpHQ

    The question begs is why have we ignored this information declaring we have only six years until the next starting date of 2031 for the next little ice age?

    This could be a nation destroying event as we are preparing for warming weather when in fact it will be freezing weather that is on the doorstep and the grid failure highlights the frailty of our energy infrastructure.

    It is time to stop listening to the Pope who advocated recyclable energy and open borders and take our country back before it is too late.

    We are not prepared for what’s coming and our politicians betray us at every turn by closing down coal fired power stations whilst intending to double recyclable energy and also banks are stealing off farming families the means to feed us. Even our water is willfully let run into the ocean according to a recent Cairns News article. To top it off, the UK has just announced that in their wisdom they will dim the sun. Unbelievable!

  13. One commenter on the “Spiked” coverage says, quote:

    “What will be interesting to know, and it probably won’t be freely available, is the number of deaths this event caused. People will have died on the roads through loss of streetlights, traffic lights and warning signs. People will have died because they had a medical emergency that couldn’t be quickly responded to, and people needing life sustaining medical devices at home will have died. Sadly, I won’t be surprised if the death toll is over 1,000.”

    Actually that could well be a major underestination
    A re-run of all the elective surgeries that were put on hold for 12 months + , courtesy Covid hysteria.

    Irony being that those who pride themselves in being nature-lovers are woefully out of touch with the inter-related nature of the plane

  14. The article describes that governments pervert economics or payback times on investments by dollar subsidies. But governments cannot pervert the laws of physics – King Canute attempted to do so, but without success. It requires a certain amount of Kwh of energy to manufacture the concrete, steel, copper, plastic etc in a wind turbine. Prof Ian Plimer in his book “Not for Greens” has done the calculations of the Kwh of energy needed, and reaches the conclusion that it requires 20 years of wind turbine operation before it pays back the energy input needed to make it. By which time of course many have broken down. Therefore in Kwh terms it is only AFTER a wind turbine has been operating 20 years that one begins to get “free” energy.

  15. Just coincidentally; I talked to two inventors this month. They don’t know each other. They’re both confident in being able to produce free energy. They are unfortunately also worried about potential consequences, if they will be known. They’re both intending to go ahead, though. Both of them are a hero!

  16. Maybe if some of our govt weren’t doing as they were told by the global elite we could make a dent in their plans to enslave us. Maybe if they stood up to them around the world it would make a difference. The elite can’t kill everyone in the govts. These useless windmills are a blight on the landscape and I think most informed people know they are bad for the planet and only enriching the so called elite.

  17. The old Southern Cross windmills used to be “pumped hydro” but it’s all to hard these days, they can’t pump hydro or get anything else working right.

  18. aapkoning said – “… Name and Shame the Devils…”

    In one sense, not possible, seeing as how these Treasonous utterly remorseless mass-murdering arseholes have neither conscience nor the capacity for shame.

    And in another sense, not possible, because these anti-Australian mongrels are simply too numerous to list off in a forum comment.

    Suffice to collectively identify the employees of the foreign registered COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION, majority shareholders Blackrock & Vanguard and their hidden Luciferian handlers domiciled at the World Economic Forum and allied agencies, and above.

    In other words, EVERY present and former member of EVERY fake corporate “government” in EVERY Australian state and territory for at least the last five decades, all knowingly sitting in genocidal Treason against Australia and its people. Something we might affectionately recognise as the Uniparty, two cheeks welded to the same Treasonous coporate arse unlawfully masquerading as the machinery of “governance” here in Australia.

    Including most of the unelected beauracrats and public officials, all committed to the eugenic Globalist ideology ostensibly for reasons of cowardice, convenience, advancement, personal gain and naked Luciferian ambition.

    And we can throw in the corporate executive set from the big end of town, most especially the Bankster class, all back-slapping and high-fiving each other as they play musical chairs and revolving doors in the so-called “public-private partnerships” herding and exploiting and harvesting the population as an expendable subordinate resource.

    Literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of traitors, in a just and righteous world all destined for the gallows. We’ll have a timely reminder of the public face of this monstrous rolling Treason and systematic destruction of our country, the tip of the spear so to speak, come “Election Day” just a few days away on 3 May 2025.

  19. Pat from Vic, Good comment but for most people they need to be explained who are the Devils (psychopathic mongrel bastards) – (your quote). Please. Name and Shame the Devils…

  20. Hey folks,

    Did you know that Australia is by far the world’s largest coal exporter?

    Which is funny, because we’re not allowed to actually use Coal here in Australia.

    Seriously, folks, they’ve already shut down the bulk of Australia’s Coal-fired power plants and the REST of them are slated for the scrap heap as soon as our foreign-owned corporate “government” can get the job done.

    Australia now has less than two dozen Coal-fired power plants and rapidly falling, while China has well over 1,000 and are adding another two EVERY WEEK.

    And did you know that Australia is right up there with the USA and Qatar in the top three Liquified Natural Gas exporters in the entire world?

    Which is funny, because we’re not allowed to actually use Natural Gas here in Australia.

    Seriously, folks, Victoria has already BANNED Natural Gas in any new housing construction, and the well-advanced agenda is to WIPE OUT Natural Gas here in Australia.

    Oh boy, folks, it’s DAMN LUCKY we’re bulldozing all the farmland and forests here in Australia to plaster windmills and solar farms all across the landscape.

    Never mind that Australia is a certified Fourth World industrial desert with unreliable power now amongst the HIGHEST COST anywhere in the world, but hey, what else are you gonna do when using Coal or Natural Gas which we EXPORT to the rest of the entire world effectively for FREE is a MORTAL SIN here in Australia?

    Maybe we can atone for all our uncleanliness by stringing a few hundreed thousand of these nation-destroying psychopathic mongrel bastards up to lamp posts. Nothing else seems to work, so maybe that’s worth a try?

  21. Please Note also: Now we see that Spain just angered Israel again as follows and then they immediately suffer the largest power outage in the country’s history.

    The Geopolitics of Elite Insanity. “Transforming the Entire World into A Planetary Technocracy.” Robert J. Burrowes
    Part III: The dangerous delusion that governments, including BRICS governments, are sovereign and can stop the technocratic takeover
    By Robert J. Burrowes – Global Research, April 10, 2025
    Excerpt >
    This means that the threat posed by the changes being imposed on us go largely unrecognized. These invasive technologies include digital identity (to which will be attached your ‘social credit score’), Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), geofenced imprisonment in a ‘smart city’, 24-hour surveillance using three-dimensional facial recognition cameras (which capture your unique ‘face print’), spying on us through a vast network of ‘smart’ devices (computers, televisions, refrigerators… as well as social media platforms, smart street poles and lights) connected via 5G/6G and the Internet of Things, and controlling our movements through a parallel range of technologies including geofencing, driverless cars, vehicle kill switches, drones (used as aerial police), robots (including as a ‘deadly force option’) as well as autonomous and electromagnetic weapons. Beyond these threats, ‘vaccines’, artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, geoengineering and other technologies are being used to reshape planetary life profoundly, to your detriment.
    Conclusion
    No government is free of Elite control. Governments are simply Elite agents doing what they are told by various Elite agents in banking, foreign policy, technology and other contexts.
    Fundamentally, the Elite program is killing off the bulk of the human population and using a range of technologies to technocratically enslave those transhumans left alive in a ‘smart city’ prison.
    This program advances rapidly while our ignorance and fear means that most people fail to perceive the true nature of the threats, who is driving them and what is necessary to resist them effectively.
    This means that even those people who claim to be aware are usually trapped taking some powerless action (such as signing a petition to a government, changing their vote at the next election, demonstrating in the street) rather than acting powerfully to defend themselves against the Elite by resisting its imperatives.
    The reality is that you can defend yourself quite effectively by taking the actions nominated in ‘We Are Human We Are Free’ but we need enough people taking these actions to defeat the entire program or the Elite will simply use its transhuman and robot agents to hunt us down once those who readily complied are already dead or imprisoned.
    Our fight is with the Global Elite. Not your government, an international organization or anyone else.

  24. All this NWO BS when we could have Nicola Tesla’s ‘Free Energy’

    (Not to be confused with Elon’s Tesla)

  25. The article said, wind turbines produced power that cost 13.5c per kilowatt-hour to generate. That is a mathmatical calculation using name plate data.

    A wind turbine consists of a three phase motor, not a generator.

    They actually produce a non-compliant harmonic waveform which through smart meters is fraudulently added to consumers power accounts.

    Wind turbines are detrimental to the grid and one can be sure the recent outage in Spain could be be traced back to wind farms.

    The fires in wind turbines are caused by the non-compliant harmonics.

    Oh to see the damned things shut down and the Court cases commence.
