For UK onshore wind farms, average output capability fell by roughly a third after 10 years, rendering many fully uneconomic to maintain beyond 12 years without heavy intervention.

A landmark study of performance data reveals that energy output from onshore wind farms begins to drop sharply after just 10 to 15 years.
This leaves these skeletons of steel and composite plastic flapping in the breeze.
While the wind industry and governments routinely promise a 20- to 25-year operational lifespan, long-term empirical analysis tells a very different story. Many onshore turbines across the UK and Denmark begin showing severe mechanical wear and output degradation much earlier than projected.
In this statistical study for the Renewable Energy Foundation - The Performance of Wind Farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark - energy economist Professor Gordon Hughes analysed thousands of wind farm operational records.
His findings were stark: load factors (electricity generated as a percentage of total capacity) declined far faster than industry models predict. Hughes concluded that the effective technical lifespan of many turbines ranges between 10 and 15 years, after which soaring maintenance costs and falling output make continued operation uneconomical.
For UK onshore wind farms, average output capability fell by roughly a third after 10 years, rendering many fully uneconomic to maintain beyond 12 years without heavy intervention.
To mask this rapid degradation and maintain financial viability, operators increasingly resort to 'repowering' — dismantling and replacing turbines long before their theoretical 25-year mark to capture new subsidy regimes.
The original hardware is routinely prematurely retired, exposing a grim reality behind the theory.
How much more evidence do our politicians need that the administration of the experimental Covid shots was a crime against humanity and in breach of the Nuremberg code ?
MEET JONATHAN REYNOLDS. THE MAN NOW IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE BRITISH ECONOMY.
This is the UK's new Business Secretary. He has never run a business. He has never even worked for one. 🤡
He knows absolutely nothing about risk taking, entrepreneurship, or meeting a payroll.
He has never had to hire staff, remortgage his house to provide working capital, or skip his own salary so his employees could have theirs!
In fact, he could not even manage to finish his basic training to become a solicitor. Yet the Westminster elite think he is qualified to dictate how British businesses are run!
How can we expect our economy to grow when the people running it have never spent a single day in the private sector? They are career politicians who have spent their entire lives living off the taxpayer.
RT if you are completely sick of clueless career politicians running our country into the ground! 🇬🇧🔥
🚨Right… WHILE YOU WERE DISTRACTED… look what Whitehall rolled out today. (Shhh, this is why they hate me.)
The Government calls it “rewiring the state.” What it really means is taking more control away from you.
The MSM reported that Burnham had scrapped digital ID. That’s a lie, as I told you.
He scrapped ONE proposed national scheme. The digital identity back office has not gone anywhere.
Digital identity, Government Digital Services, telecoms, media, online safety and Whitehall’s “misinformation and disinformation” operations are now being brought together under one expanded department.
So the machine controlling your digital identity, access to government services, online speech … and now how PUBLIC OPINION is interpreted, is being consolidated and automated.
They haven’t abandoned the infrastructure. Oh no… They are centralising it.
Exactly as planned. You really should read my book!
Labour’s dream team in action:
Angela Rayner MP, appointed Housing Secretary despite dodging tax on a property.
Louise Haigh, convicted fraudster, appointed First Secretary of State.
Matthew McGregor, Hope Not Hate far-left extremist, appointed Director of Political Strategy.
Lucy Powell MP, who dismissed grooming gang survivors as “dog whistling”, promoted to Education Secretary.
This is who Labour picks to run the country: tax dodgers in housing, fraudsters at the top table, far-left activists steering strategy, and grooming gang downplayers in charge of our children’s education.
A total betrayal of British standards, safety and common sense.
We need a general election right now.
This is the new UK Business Secretary.
His name is Jonathan Reynolds.
He has never worked in business.
Oh, and he pretended to be a qualified solicitor on several occasions when he wasn’t.’
@WillKingston Living under this govt is like being a passenger in a car going 180mph being driven by a 15 yr old who's never driven before 😱🫣
And this is even worse 🙈
Bloody hell … Mad Ed has not been replaced by a moderate but by a hard left climate globalist.
Meet Miatta Fahnbulleh - former head of the New Economics Foundation who wants the UK to have a Green New Deal including spending 2% of GDP on Net Zero climate policies.
She pushed for Companies to transfer ownership into worker controlled funds and for a larger, more interventionist state!
She is hard economic Left using Net Zero as the vehicle to transform ownership, welfare, housing, employment and the relationship between citizens and the state.
So … Net Zero on acid just replaced Mad Ed
@WillKingston Quite literally a clueless cabinet. I spent 35 yr turning around insolvent companies - and ALL of them had FAR more competent staff. I can GUARANTEE that this is a recipe to bankrupt the country.

There are 28 ministers in the new Cabinet. This is the sum total of their private sector experience:
- Louise Haigh: Three years in a middle management role at Aviva. Ended in a fraud conviction.
- Andy Burnham: Three years in a small publishing business after university.
That’s it… A team with no business, finance or management experience is running a £3 trillion economy. I’ll explain just how screwed we are on @PatrickChristys Tonight. 9pm @GBNEWS.
Philipson tells lies, lies, lies. That's all Labour can do because reality is so bad. Most of these were EXISTING employees + the number of under 19 apprenticeships is DOWN. When Labour politicians open their mouths, it is safe to assume they are lying or gaslighting.
I shouldn't have to do this but since the government won't... The spin here is ridiculous.
Yes, apprenticeship starts are up. But look at where LOL
Much of the growth is in EXISTING employees at banks, consultancies, the Civil Service and large corporations, taking higher level qualifications in finance, management, law, HR, data and digital roles.
And they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts ohhh noooo. You see they already pay the Apprenticeship Levy (tax), and many employers are using levy funds to pay for the development of existing staff, instead of funding that training from their normal training budgets. TA DAAAA excellent fudge!
Meanwhile, the under 19 apprenticeship starts have actually fallen. The 8.7% increase isn't primarily being driven by more young people becoming electricians, plumbers stc.
Why can't politicians just tell the whole story?

History's proven that Enoch Powell was a prophet of the times in which we live & which he warned us were coming 58yr ago.

‘For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted.’
— Enoch Powell, 1968
In his speech to the Conservative Party made in April 1968, Enoch Powell, the MP for Wolverhampton South West and Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, made this prediction about the effects on the British working class of allowing 50,000 immigrants, largely from the Commonweath, to settle every year in Britain.
Powell delivered his speech as part of his argument against Parliament passing the Race Relations Act 1968, which made it illegal to refuse housing, employment or public services to someone on the grounds of their race, ethnicity or national origins.
Today, such discrimination has become legalised practice in the UK on condition that that ‘someone’ is White and British, and therefore not protected under the Equality Act 2010. Muslim landlords and employers openly and with impunity advertise accommodation and jobs exclusively to Muslim candidates; and under the justification of meeting DEI quotas that have never been written into UK legislation, White British candidates are openly banned from applying for jobs in both the public and private sectors, and positions in education are handed to Black and Asian candidates with lower marks.
Subsequently televised and published in the UK press, Powell’s assessment was agreed with by 75% of the British public in an opinion poll conducted later that month. Despite this, Powell was sacked as Shadow Secretary for Defence for a speech that, in the words of Edward Heath, then Leader of the Conservative Party, was ‘inflammatory and liable to damage race relations’, and subsequently ostracised from UK politics.
This is the exactly the same reason the police forces and councils of Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, Oldham, Bradford, Oxford and the 149 other British councils in which we know they operate gave for covering up the grooming, rape, torture and trafficking of upwards of 250,000 English girls by Muslim rape gangs that were already entrenched across Britian in Powell’s time. It is the same reason police continue to give for refusing to identify the race, religion or nationality of a rapist or other criminal in the UK when he is not White, Christian and British.
But it’s an indication of how far back the policy of replacement immigration goes that, in 2016, the Chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips — himself the children of Guyanese immigrants but, unlike the UK’s current DEI Foreign Secretary and his fellow Guyanese, David Lammy, not someone who built his career on anti-White racism — wrote of Powell’s fate in the Telegraph:
‘Everyone in British public life learnt the lesson: adopt any strategy possible to avoid saying anything about race, ethnicity (and latterly religion and belief) that is not anodyne and platitudinous.’
I would guess that, even after the ensuing half a century of indoctrination and censorship, not 75% of the British public anymore but at least that percentage of the White working class would recognise themselves today in Powell’s description of the British as ‘strangers in their own country’. And they are right to do so.
Powell was worried about 50,000 immigrants coming to Britain every year. Following the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, which granted all EU citizens the right to live and work in the UK, net migration to Britain was 51,000 immigrants per year, mostly from the European Union.
However, after the election of the New Labour Government of Tony Blair in 1997, net immigration to Britain more than trebled to an average of 166,000 per year. Then, after the expansion of the European Union to Eastern Europe in 2004, net immigration to Britain increased again to an average of 255,000 per year.
Following the election of the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government in 2010, net migration to Britain dropped marginally to 206,000 per year, still four times what Powell was concerned about; but by 2014 it had risen again to over 300,000, and until 2019 averaged 275,000 immigrants per year.
After initially dropping in 2020 under lockdown restrictions on travel to Britain, net immigration since 2021 rose in the four years to 2025 to an average of 662,000 per year, considerably more than double the most it has ever been previously.
Just as importantly as these vast numbers, as Brexit came into effect in 2020 and European workers began to emigrate, the immigrants were now overwhelmingly from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Between 2015 and 2024, 9.081 million immigrants entered Britain. 5.317 million of these came from outside the European Union, 3.887 million since Brexit. Over this decade, net migration to Britain from non-European countries was 3.747 million.
In June 2021, just 6 months into this period of increased immigration, 9.6 million foreign-born nationals were living in Britain. That’s more than the population of London and 14.5% of the total population of the United Kingdom. Of these 9.6 million, 896,000 were Indian, 456,000 Pakistanis, 312,000 Nigerians, 223,000 Bangladeshis, 131,000 Sri Lankans, 130,000 Ghanaians and 122,000 Zimbabweans. That’s a total of 2.27 million immigrants from these 7 countries living in Britain in June 2021.
But that was just the start. Between January 2021 and December 2024, a further 826,000 Indians, 362,000 Nigerians, 242,000 Pakistanis, 86,000 Bangladeshis, 80,000 Zimbabweans, 71,000 Ghanaians, and over 40,000 Sri Lankans entered Britain as immigrants. That’s over 1.7 million immigrants from these seven countries, or two-thirds the population of Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city, in just four years.
In 2026, as a result of these disastrous immigration policies, there are nearly 13 million foreign-born nationals living in Britain, larger than the population of Belgium, making up 19% of the population of the UK, and overwhelmingly composed of immigrants from outside Europe.
In addition, there are millions of more second generation immigrants who, as we are seeing demonstrated every day, in every rape, every mugging, every theft, every stabbings, every murder, every demonstration, every council election, have no allegiance to Britain, who hate the British people, and are intent on turning our homeland into a mirror of the third-world slums from which they came.
These figures show that Enoch Powell was, without a shadow of doubt, correct in his fears, which is why the political establishment destroyed his career and, to this day, his name is a byword among liberals and the Left for racism. As history has proven, however, he was a prophet of the times in which we live, and which he warned us were coming 58 years ago. Today, the rivers of blood are flowing, but it is our blood, that of the British people, that is being spilled by the lusts and greed and violence of foreign invaders. It is time — it is 58 years past the time — that we start fighting back.
If you would like to know how UK immigration policy has been set, by whom and to what ends, and you want to know what we, the British people, can do to deport the 10 million-plus immigrants we need to to restore Britain to the British, you may be interested in my new book, The Great Replacement and the Islamisation of Britain.

UKHSA found NO excess mortality during the May heatwave.
And in June’s heatwave, death registrations were actually 918 BELOW expected.
So published hysteria that 2,700 died is TOTAL b/s.
Right then … as Ross Clark points out, the claim that 2,700 people were killed by the heat is bollocks. (Technical term)
It was presented as an actual death toll. It wasn’t. It was a modelling exercise and er.… not actual mortality
UKHSA found NO excess mortality during the May heatwave.
And in the 2 published ONS weeks covering most of June’s heatwave, death registrations were actually 918 BELOW expected.
But the hysterical headlines pushed the narrative as if it was fact. As always, question everything.
Who has painted No 10 white and when???? Is this Burnham - who basically doesn't even want to move in - but rather work from home??

This is old news but people just don't get it - Antarctica is getting COLDER all the time. As fast as the Arctic melts, Antarctica freezes -
so there's no GLOBAL warming, no chance of sea levels rising. & this whole climate change nonsense is simply gaslighting & control
Antarctica is colder and more icebound today than at any point in the past 5,000 years.
Research by Hall (2023) found that West Antarctica cooled by more than 1.8C between 1999 and 2018.
Satellite data confirm continent-wide cooling, as do multiple glacier studies.
Piccini (2024) found the Collins Glacier was 1km farther back 6,000 years ago and began re-advancing about 1,000 years ago, which is clear evidence of cooling since the Medieval Warm Period.
Even the biology of the continent documents this shift.
A millennium ago, the Ross Sea hosted around 200,000 elephant seals as far south as 78 degrees. Today, those colonies are gone. They disappeared as the region froze over: too cold and ice-choked for breeding or foraging.
The Hall paper concludes: "The last few centuries, including the present, represent the coldest, iciest conditions in the post-glacial period."
Modern Antarctica is not warming, it's freezing.
Tone deaf ! - and terribly funny.
@ABridgen Do we actually know this to be true? I'd doubt it very much. That there's a patent for SARS & a patent for Ebola?? I've been involved in patents & would guess that the chance of this being true is about 0.01%. I certainly believe covid was man-made but a patent is a step too far
According to former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, democracy is being eroded in favour of rule by unelected technocrats—hell-bent on imposing Net Zero, two-tiered policing and woke DEI policies.
She warns that anyone opposing this "blob" inevitably "ends up in its crosshairs".
"[The authorities] don't trust the electorate... They want to do all they can to take decisions out of the hands of elected politicians and put them in the hands of unelected bureaucrats."
@mlw1000 What is the birth defect problem you think they are addressing? The only one I know of is the one caused by the Covid jabs
Govt requires most flour to have folic acid added to it, which is known to be harmful to certain people eg with stents; kidney or liver disease; vit B12 deficiency; cancer. Also evidence that it doubles risk of prostate cancer for men. Please sign petition in thread.
It's déjà vu all over again. 🧵
I spent quite a lot of time in late 2024 / early 2025 trying to find alternate sources of milk and dairy products after Arla ran their little trial with Morrisons, Aldi and Tesco adding an unnecessary chemical (Bovaer) to dairy cattle feed to prevent the world from *checks notes* burning up in a cow burp driven methane inferno.
And here we are again with folic acid in flour. From December 2026 by order of the Unelected Globalist Bureaucrats and their Westminster puppets, most non-wholemeal flour sold in the UK must have folic acid added to it to reduce the risk of women giving birth to babies with spina bifida.
The more observant amongst you will have noticed that men are not going to give birth to babies, with or without spina bifida, nor are children or women beyond child-bearing age. Not only that, but folic acid (which is a synthetic version of folate, a vitamin which occurs naturally in some foods) is known to be harmful to people in a number of different categories: people with heart stents; people with kidney or liver disease; people who are vitamin B12 deficient, people with cancer; and there is also evidence that it doubles risk of prostate cancer for men.
It's hard to know how to fight against this kind of top-downism but I came to the conclusion during the Bovaer fight (which is by no means won, by the way) that the best approach is twofold:
1. Don't feed the globalist beast. Stop spending money with the companies which support this kind of thing, and call then out for it.
2. Instead, spend your money with smaller, local companies.
Government isn't listening to us, big companies aren't listening to us, so using the money in our pockets to try to influence things is really the only avenue open to us.
With folic acid, the rules on supplementation exclude small mills which produce relatively small volumes of flour. They are still allowed to sell unfortified products to the public.
This webpage by the Real Bread Campaign, highlights small local mills and producers of additive-free bread and flour. Obviously these are small independent businesses or sole traders so you are unlikely to find their products in supermarkets but the map should help you find a vendor near you who you could visit, and local farm shops and farmers' markets may stock their products.
https://t.co/MBs0Zn5pgV
There are some mills which sell unfortified flour direct to the public online - I'll add a couple I know of into the comments. Postage costs mean this isn't a cheap option but you could club together with friends / family / neighbours to order in bulk and reduce the impact of the postage.
Feel free to add any mills you know of or use in the comments. Let's Make Flour Great Again!
