Dead Turbines

By: Diane Benjamin This video is of wind turbines near Broadwell Il. It was WINDY yesterday, but none of them were turning. I saw a small solar field on the west side of I55 too, a nice hail storm will destroy it. Only the un-informed would believe either will provide enough energy to fuel the […]

Where does the leaking oil go?

By: Diane Benjamin These things only exist because of the FAKE WAR on fossil fuels while they require fossil fuels to work. In case you missed this story: https://www.thecollegefix.com/more-than-1600-scientists-and-other-scholars-sign-no-climate-emergency-declaration/ I’ve done many stories about oil leaking from turbines. Where do you think that leaking oil ends up? You think it stays on the turbine? It […]

Rejecting socialists or supporting them?

By: Diane Benjamin The local socialist are working hard to recruit new people. Voters rejected their candidates in the last local election, so now they are going after people of color. We have fought wars to free people from socialism which always leads to communism, so the question now is why would the Pantagraph do […]

Bats and Wind Farms

By:  Diane Benjamin I wonder how this article made it in the latest magazine printed by Illinois State University! ISU is a big pusher of wind energy, so this article is out-of-place.  Somehow it didn’t make the on-line version of the magazine or I would have linked to it. If you are Facebook friends with […]

Wind Abuse?

By:  Diane Benjamin I attended the rebuttal hearing held by the McLean County Zoning Board of Appeals last night.  Did you know this board has ZERO elected officials, all members are appointees.  County staff attends and can ask questions, but nobody is on this board that can be voted out of office. Invenergy was there.  […]

#2 UPDATE: What meeting was the Pantagraph at?

The sound system at this meeting was NOT the new system.  I heard at the meeting it was, that information was false.  The new system should be installed in the next 10days to 2 weeks. _______________________________ A reader commented that the Pantagraph “corrected” the story in today’s paper.  Unless another story is done and posted […]

Report on Logan County Zoning Meeting: Wind

McLean County is facing the same issues and being misled in the same way!  This is a report from a citizen who attended.  The wind company was given all the time they wanted, citizens were limited – the room was full of concerned citizens.  So far the Board only sees dollars signs! Disconnected is what […]

UPDATE: Useless wind

The wind turbines are all dead again!  No wind, no electricity. I could post another 18 second video, but it would look the same as the one below. ______________________________________________ By:  Diane Benjamin Did you know wind energy doesn’t work when there is NO wind? Bet you can’t wait for the Clinton Nuclear Power Plant to […]

By:  Diane Benjamin Recently the wind turbines east of Bloomington have frequently been dead.  See this SHORT video from a few minutes ago: The McLean County Board approved the initial wind farm on 9/20/2005.  Approval included the below: Thanks to County Board member Susan Schafer for sending it to me back in 2013. Twelve years […]

Pantagraph fails to report again-Wind Energy

by:  Diane Benjamin The article published September 5th was a glowing endorsement of wind energy – typical left wing propaganda.  Here’s the subsidy facts according to the US Department of Energy and Institute for Energy Research: Federal Subsidies for electric power – fiscal year 2010 Total in millions $                   $ […]

BREAKING NEWS! GREEN is DEAD – Update it’s back alive

by Diane Benjamin At 10:00pm last night the east side was peaceably dark, no red blinking lights.  At 6:00am this morning they were back – yes the windmills are turning again.  If you don’t understand that Wind Energy is not sustainable due to the high cost, watch this video. At least T. Boone lost his […]

4 Days and Counting – NO Wind Energy! Update #3

August 9, 2012 DAY 6!  Investigators are now looking into what’s going on-hopefully more information today.  One possible theory: The contract to sell electricity has expired and they don’t presently have a customer to purchase the electricity. The Carlock Wind Farm has not been operating for at least the last 2 days either.  The 2 […]

ISU and Pantagraph Bull***t UPDATE

Green Energy? Not When It’s Windy! UPDATE #3

Today is 6/29/2012 – 9:45 am.  I can see at least 30 windmills from my house – east of Bloomington.  NONE of them are turning.  Congress at some point will decide whether to continue subsidies.  Make sure your congressmen votes NO!  Enough wasting the taxpayers money!   Windy day – windmills shut off.  At 6:30pm […]
