Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 November 2024

This week’s roundup includes articles on how wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency is wrecking power grids in the UK and Germany – in a version of energy Russian roulette; the insane mortal danger faced by construction workers dealing with giant 80m blades weighing close to 30 tonnes – with one man killed in Victoria, adding to the wind industry’s mounting death toll – with at least 240 fatalities, so far; disintegrating turbines contaminating America’s prime farmland with fibreglass wreckage; and a trifecta of articles smashing the economics of subsidised wind and solar.
