Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 March 2025

With Donald J Trump telling the wind industry that America’s “not gonna do the wind thing” anymore, the wind industry is practically terminal and faces a looming Armageddon, across the globe. The Great Disruptor has completely rattled the Climate Industrial Complex, with a particular (and perfectly understandable) hatred of the great wind power scam playing out in the US, and reverberating around the world.

Robert Bryce leads this week’s roundup with a pointed video piece on the West’s self-inflicted energy poverty, and goes on to explain the inevitable failure of EV mandates and targets to encourage people to switch to glorified golf carts. In the video’s description are chapters that allow you to quickly navigate this 26 minute podcast.
