Some small town residents in Texas and Iowa are frustrated by mounting piles of wind farm waste in their communities, according to Texas Monthly.

The turbines that onshore wind developments use to generate power can be up to 200 feet in length, and the material that they are made of is rigid, according to Texas Monthly. These attributes make the equipment difficult to remove or recycle after they are decommissioned, a reality which can lead to these turbines piling up in communities like Sweetwater, Texas, and irritating some of the locals who have to live in close proximity to the waste.

Described as “heroes” and “Robin Hoods,” London’s ‘Blade Runners’ are disabling cameras meant to enforce Mayor Sadiq Khan’s vehicle emission requirements.

Fed up Londoners appear to be taking the law into their own hands, as the London Metropolitan Police has reported 510 crimes against so-called ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) cameras in the period of April 1st to August 31th.

Equipped with license plate recognition software, such cameras are meant to pick out vehicles which do not meet required minimum emissions standards. Most petrol cars made before January 2006 and diesel cars made before September 2015 do not meet these standards. Under the ULEZ initiative, drivers are liable for a £12.50 daily charge if they drive non-compliant vehicles anywhere in London. And those who do not pay face fines of up to £180.

At least a quarter of the cameras in London’s newly expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone have been damaged by vandals, new data reveals.

Campaigners this week have stepped up efforts to deface the cameras installed in wake of mayor Sadiq Khan’s controversial extension of the scheme, which is now clobbering thousands more drivers with £12.50 a day charges.

A crowd-sourced map appears to show that 450 of the 1,762 cameras installed to monitor cars in the zone are damaged or missing, The Telegraph reported.

Dear World,

Take hope from this London, UK Video, that normal people will rise up in whatever way necessary, against the Globalist Tyrants seeking to control us all.

These ULEZ cameras are designed to take the poorest in societies cars & therefore their mobility by making… pic.twitter.com/veyhUIABsz

When I wrote in April that Sadiq Khan could be ousted because of his persecution of motorists, my suggestion was widely panned as delusional. Didn’t I realise that nobody owns a car in our capital city, that London is a Labour rotten borough and that the Tories are finished?

My argument doesn’t look so silly today. The mayor’s nasty, vindictive Ulez cash grab has triggered a wave of French-style civil disobedience, radicalised an outer suburbia that the snooty inner London elite had long forgotten even existed, lost Labour a parliamentary seat it could otherwise have won, and exposed the exorbitant cost to our pocketbooks and freedom of the rush to net zero.

Of all the callous things the state could do to its citizens during a cost-of-living crisis, making them pay to drive their own cars is surely one of the worst. As if it wasn’t bad enough that the cost of foodstuffs has risen by 15 per cent, now you’ll have to pay through the nose just to get to the shop that sells those foodstuffs. As if it wasn’t tough enough forking out for your kids’ school uniforms and stationery, now you’ll have to pay for the privilege of dropping the kids at the schoolgates. As if it wasn’t hard enough getting time off work to visit your poorly mother in a care home, now you’ll have to stump up £12.50 to get to that care home.

REMEMBER TO DONATE TO BLAZINGCATFUR’S FUNDRAISER

International scientists have jointly signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth, contrary to the popular alarmist narrative.

“There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

Those godawful paper straws may be as bad for the environment as plastic ones — and worse for your health.

What’s next? Hollow reeds?

Having banned some single-use plastics of convenience (straws, cutlery, etc.), the Trudeau government has turned its sights on plastics of necessity, including plastic films to keep foods isolated from contamination, protect them from pests and destructive oxidation, and help keep them cold, which is critical to preventing microbial contamination and spoilage.

This is a major turning point in the Trudeau government’s war on plastics, which incidentally fails on economic and environmental grounds. Even if its “Zero Plastic Waste by 2030” program was to work, it would prevent a paltry increase from 0.02-0.03% to 0.023-0.033% of global plastic pollution, an undetectable reduction of three-thousandths of 1% by the government’s own admission.

Paper straws suck, according to a new study.

While Canada continues to ramp up its efforts to ban the distribution of single-use plastics, including straws, it turns out the paper alternative might not the most ideal replacement.
