Arab Oil and Hot Air

by David Yeagley · September 16, 2010 · 19 Comments ·

British and American oil companies created the modern Arab states. Islam was thus enabled to revive its murderous aggressions through Western financing. Yet, money doesn’t kill. People do. Wealth doesn’t destroy. Men do.

One of the ironies in it all is the fact that Arab countries are investing in the wind–in turbine wind farms. The dark oil hacks of the world want to act green. Why?

Syria is developing serious wind farms.

Syria is working on investing and developing solar and wind energy to meet the increasing demand on energy in light of the population growth and the economic, industrial and agricultural expansion, reports Syrian State Agency.

Syrian Ministry of Higher Education has launched many programs on renewable energy to be studied at the faculties of electrical, mechanic and technical engineering and in the institutes and postgraduate programs.

Research and training energy centers have been established in Damascus, Aleppo, Tishreen and al-Baath universities.

Note the connection between the green and “Higher Education.” Green, global, and energy are all part of education, that is, state propaganda.

Syria has partnered with a Danish company for the technological development.

MARAFEQ, member of CHAM Holding Group, and VESTAS, headquartered in Denmark and the largest Wind Energy Company in the world, signed here Sunday a strategic partnership to develop wind energy in Syria.

The partnership includes the submittal of a joint pre-qualification to the Public Establishment for Electricity Generation and Transmission for the development of the first wind energy project in Syria.

VESTAS is heavily involved in American wind farm development as well. Wind power is green and global, therfore may rightly be viewed as a challenge to national sovereignty, as are all other international business ventures.


L-R: Marcus Schenck, CFO E.ON group, Ziad Tassebhji, Director Utilities and Asset and Management, Masdar, His Excellency Ahmed Ali al Sayegh, Chairman, Masdar and Dr.Wulf Bernotat, Chairman and CEO of E.ON group watch Frank Mastiaux, CEO E.ON Climate & Renewables and Dr Sultan al Jaber, CEO, Masdar sign a global renewable partnership agreement between the two companies in London.

Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company of the UAE) is now nearly one quarter owner of London Array, the largest wind farm in the world. The United Kingdom’s energy company began developing the off-shore wind farm in 2005. Three international investors are involved.

So how does this affect affairs in Oklahoma? BadEagle.com is researching the matter. As we speak, the Wichita Mountains of southerwestern Oklahoma are seriously affected by a wind farm developing on the north side of the Wichita Mountains Wild Life Refuge. As one drives down I-44 to Lawton, one can see an ever increasing number of the unsightly, giant crooked arms grasping in agony toward the sky. They absolutely ruin the viewscape.

They are not, however, on the property of the Wild Life Refuge. They are some five miles north of the borders, on the private property of the Kimball Ranch. Research on the “Kimball Ranch” is not immediately available, but BadEagle.com is investigating. Private property ownership of lands surrounding the refuge is a matter of concern, obviously.

BadEagle.com reported the federal court case in which the Comanche Nation was able to stop Fort Sill from developing land just south of Medicine Bluff on the basis of the ill effects such development would have on the “viewscape” of the sacred, national historical site. The immediate question therefore is why no effective objection was raised about the grievous wind farm eradicating the “viewscape” of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. If the Comanche Nation can stop the federal government (Fort Sill) from trashing Medicine Bluff, can’t the federal government stop a private land owner from trashing a national wildlife refuge?

Wind farms are known to adversely affect wildlife (as well as human life). So where is the protest to the Kimball Rach wind farm?

Wind energy is the latest big business craze caused by the Global Warming industry (of propaganda). T. Boon Pickens, the oil tycoon who somehow grew tired of the business, has been a leading proponent of wind energy. He hasn’t grown tired of innovation or enterprise, certainly. But he’s become a philanthropist and environmentalist in is closing years. This is interesting. How can an “enivronmentalist” be so enthusiastic about a new industry that already competes with the oil industry for damages on the environment?

Siemens, an industry solutions company specializing now solving the problems of transferring wind farm energy to cities where it is needed, has an interesting ad campaign going on now. “Somewhere on the distant prairie,” there is a wind farm. How do you get the energy from there to town? Siemens, of course. Not to mention the wind farms near cities, off shore and on shore. Their message is simply, Let us destroy your environment carefully, efficiently, responsibly, and completely. You won’t feel a thing.

This is all perfectly dreadful. It’s all about business. Money. Enterprise. It’s all at the global level. That’s where the big money is. Anything global is where it’s at. Politics, business, “education,” energy, labor, it has to be global to compete. That’s where we are.

What our globalist propagandists don’t tell us, of course, is that anything global not only tends to destroy the environment, but also destroys national sovereignty, in due time. And it’s not about conservatism versus liberalism. It’s about big business, and liberals are becoming far worse at it than anything they accuse conservatives of. Global warming, on which the wind farm industry is based, is a liberal fantasy, totally.

The fact that Arab oil would invest in wind energy is just a tip of the iceberg irony of it all. Oil companies are all trying to appear as green as possible. But oil doesn’t damage the environment any more than wind farms. The competition here to considere is damages, not efficiency. Everyone knows that wind farms are the most inefficient operations in the energy industry. Therefore, they have the advantage. They are worse than oil rigs.

BadEagle.com will develop more research into wind energy in the future. It’s all a power grab, like any other globalist scheme. It hasn’t split the environmentalist camp as widely and clearly as it should, though. That is somewhat of a mystery.

    Weatherford Oklahoma is surrounded with them. My understanding is that they cost five times the amount of gas to produce the same amount of electric power. Otherwise, don’t know much about them.

    I just discovered that scientists are saying wind farms are adversely affecting plant life! Even crops. The wind farms change the atmosphere.

    Did not BadEagle.com suggest such a thing earlier? Yes. I said the interruption of natural air flow would affect the climate! I think I wind farms would actually contribute to global warming! I suggested calculated the energy of the wind farms, and subtract it from the wind currents, and that’s how much the farms would affect the climate. I’ll have to find that. It was on the forums or on one of my wind blogs.

    Here’s a typical, self-centered, survivalist view, of local land owners in Texas, justifying the wind farms.

  • 4 David Yeagley // Sep 16, 2010 at 12:26 pm   

    Texas claims to have the largest (on shore) wind farm in the world.

    I have been told that the cotton crop in the region is severely stunted because of the wind mills. I will have to have the links to this news.

    The holistic websites I’ve visited recently are concerned that wind energy is disrupting the flow of prana, or the earth’s natural energy fields. I don’t know whether I really believe this theory or not, but it seems to me that when greedy and selfish mankind deliberately tampers with, or hinders the flow of nature, there are usually disasterous consequences as a result. That said, when I was a kid growing up in the 1970′s solar power and wind energy were all the rage. I remember the houses with solar windows on the roof and the television commercials advertising the windmills that could even be put on top of a high-rise apartment building in the city. I can also clearly remember the “odd” and “even” days of the energy crisis when you could only get gas on certain days according to the numbers on your car’s license plates. I’ve been wondering if and when Obama will be reinstating this Carter-era policy anytime soon!

    In my humble opinion, these wind towers are different in scope and general purpose from the great Dutch windmills that have been around for centuries. They were quite necessary in Holland, as the land is largely below sea-level. It is an amazing technological accomplishment that the early Dutch built their country in the “low lands”!

    “A [Dutch] windmill is a machine which converts the energy of wind into rotational motion by means of adjustable vanes called sails. The main use is for a grinding mill powered by the wind, reducing a solid or coarse substance into pulp or minute grains, by crushing, grinding, or pressing.[1][2] Windmills have also provided energy to sawmills, paper mills, hammermills, and windpumps for obtaining fresh water from underground or for drainage (especially of land below sea level).”

    Windmill (Wikipedia)

    The Dutch Windmill

    In sharp contrast and distinction, these “wind farms” are unsightly and very likely a serious menace to the environment, I agree.

    On the other hand, I think that solar panels may have there place in the grand scheme of things. If I were to build a new house, I’d probably consider putting a solar panel on the roof.

    Ranchers and farmers do always have trouble making ends meet. Most of them on at least partially on government subsidies. A friend of mine, a German whose family was born in Russia, said that the government will always take the land. In time, it never fails.

    Farmers and ranchers have to survive. There are those who have sold American land to Europeans and Arabs. This has been going on for some decades now. I think it is treason, actually.

    Perhaps the holistic websites have a valid point. May be these windmills do disturb the natural order. At least for the bats.

    This is one of those situations where we don’t know if we’re liberal or conservative! Ha!

    I think it is all a scam. I think wind farms are a total fraud. It is a globalist scheme of big business, under the religious guise of Green. It has the blessing of the world, but, there is really no positive advantage of wind farms, over all. Their negative effects are greater than any theoretical positive effects. The figures don’t ad up, as far as I can tell.

    I think it is both sad and peculiar that bats are effected by these windmills. Personally, I think the best energy source by far is nuclear energy. Of course, nuclear energy is an anathema to the Green Movement Cult. So, I guess we cannot count on it being utilized in America anytime soon.

    I lived off a hefty solar/wind rig for 3 years anchored in Miami Bay. worked good to the extent I had refrigeration/lights/TV, etc. It’s a neat feeling when you look at your power meter and it’s climbing-up for free.

    In Hawthorne, FL, I rigged my solar/wind units up, and manage to run the barn fans & lights & electric fense cable to keep the horses in-line.

    Redundancy gets the crew home every time. Same goes for power. It’s nice to utilize everything we can jury-rig to keep the grid fired-up.

    Regarding the view obstruction issue, these cases have been tried/lost many times before, always in favor of the guys obstructing the views. The first cases originated out of Miami, FL, when someone sued the Fountainbleu Hotel for blocking their view back in the 50s. fountainbleu won in the FL S. Court, All other states followed FL’s decision.

    “Alternative” energy sources are great–when they are viable. Usually they work better in theory than reality.

    Solar, for instance, is a great idea–except that running an entire household on solar requires huge panels. And it’s really only an option for the southern US and equatorial latitudes. They are virtually useless in Michigan.

    I checked out hybrid cars a year ago and the technology just isn’t what it needs to be to make them viable– they don’t seem to yet work in terms of design for anything more powerful than a 4 cylinder engine–and those don’t work well in mid-size cars.

    Recently checked into electric lawnmowers; again, great idea but they have to be plugged in for 8 hrs to get 45 min run time out of them, and the lawn has to basically be flat.

    Then, of course, there’s the cost issue. So tired of hearing “green” contractors/designers/architects crow about how wonderful it is to have a “green” home–but they never address the fact that every “energy saving” item comes at twice the cost and that repair costs are also doubled.

    Until it’s both technologically and financially viable for middle-class families, both the government and the green groups should keep quiet.

    But then, it’s never really been about the environment–at least not for the government.

  • 15 zephyr // Sep 16, 2010 at 9:39 pm   

    Seems rather ironic–or maybe intentional–that the quasi-joking references to environmental “Green Police” these days were a real nightmare for western Europeans in WWII–the scourge of Nazi-occupied countries.

    Dr. Yeagley is correct. It is a financial scam. The Arabs are just taking advantage of a chance to make a buck at our expense. Wind farms require huge investment that is paid back by subsidies from the utility users. Utilities are required by law–I don’t know if it is federal or state-by-state–to generate a certain percentage of their power by “alternative” means. Wind farms fit the bill. The utilities spend the money, the investors get their return, and the consumers pay through the nose. The efficiency of gas, nuclear, and coal is lost to the inefficiency of wind.

    Of course, there are the ideological footsoldiers promoting the scam just because they like to see government power, and international government power, increased at the expense of traditional liberties.

    Not only are the wind farms hideous, they slaughter birds by the thousands.

    The wind scam is replacing the ethanol scam.

    Maybe you have heard about the palm oil scam, which devastated square miles of Indonesia, so Dutch companies could market clean-burning palm oil.

    Think “green”–it’s not just grass and leaves.

    Postscript: I am always suspicious of videos like “Agenda 21″ Seems to me it is a blend of fact and fiction with some definite fear-mongering stirred in for political gain. This idea of a “New World Order” has been promoted for years. If this secret cabal of rich and powerful men are bent on taking over the entire world, what in the heck is taking them so long?
