Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 24 November 2024

This week’s roundup includes articles on the obscene and staggering cost of subsidies to wind power outfits born by every taxpayer and power consumer; how power prices are rocketing in every US state that’s backed chaotically intermittent wind and solar; how wind power never makes sense and taking it offshore is positively insane; how Donald Trump’s executive power will be more than sufficient to kill the offshore wind industry in the USA (which he has promised to do on day one); with one massive project already on the financial ropes; on the pointlessness of generating solar power at times when it can’t be consumed (and never being able to produce an extra lick when demand rises); there follows two articles pointing out how the weather is ‘conspiring’ against our grand wind power transition, by refusing to blow on demand; followed by a piece detailing moves by a Dutch group of pro-real-energy realists to smash the great wind power fraud in the Netherlands.

  1. These “clean energy” systems are not farms, they are better referenced as wind catchers, solar catchers, and green $$$ catchers and much like dream catchers, and catchers of falling stars, the end result of the efforts is temporary or fantasy.

    A catcher at a baseball game only temporarily harnesses and dissipates what is thrown as kinetic energy. Farms of grains and vegetables produce abundance of harvest with seeds being watered and soil and solar energy perfectly storing it as potential energy.

    Wind catchers (turbines) require massive amounts of energy to even begin to dream of catching and transferring energy more than what it uses up.

  2. WHY DID DUNKELFLAUTES COME AS A SURPRISE LATELY WHEN SAILORS AND MILLERS MUST HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THEM FOR CENTURIES?

    IS THIS THE SMOKING GUN IN THE CLIMATE AND ENERGY FRAUD CASE?

    The term “smoking gun” is a reference to an object or fact that serves as almost conclusive evidence of a crime or similar act, just short of being caught in flagrante delicto. “Smoking gun” refers to the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence, as opposed to direct evidence.

    My colleague John Maclean discovered that the first assessment report of the IPCC in 1990 recommended a survey of the wind resources of the world in case they might be harnessed to generate power on a large-scale.

    The meteorologists, who were involved with the IPCC,  must have discovered wind droughts and realised that they  would wreck attempts to power the grid by wind.

    So not a word was said about wind droughts while the Western nations wrote suicide notes committing themselves to net zero based on intermittent energy.

    We have been sleepwalking into a wind drought trap when subsidised and mandated intermittent energy drives out conventional power to reach the tipping point and we enter the red zone where every windless night is a mortal threat to the power supply.

    Hence the working title of my next book How wind droughts almost destroyed Western civilisation as we know it.

    The smoking gun in this case is the discovery of wind droughts by the  people in the heart of evil empire who were driving the global warming fraud. That in turn drove the net zero ponzi scheme which threatens to destroy the basis of our energy system by making it vulnerable to wind droughts. That will crash the western economies as you can see in Britain, Germany and South Australia.
