For the best part of 30 years, rent-seeking wind and solar outfits have claimed their (occasionally delivered) products are the cheapest around. Always overlooking the hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and the benefits of punitive mandates and targets in their favour. However, whenever talk turns to cutting those subsidies or removing the mandates and targets, wind and solar scammers retort that those subsidies, mandates and targets should remain in place, for just a little longer. Always pushing the notion of true competition towards the horizon. Well, at least in the US, the horizon has been placed on their doorstep.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
In the first post, Gary Abernathy elaborates the point above, mocking claims made by scammers that they are big enough and ugly enough to stand on their own.
After all these years, alternatives are finding ways to stand on their own

Jason Isaac points out that America’s nuclear comeback is not being driven by mandates, subsidies, or elitist rhetoric. It is being driven by hard-nosed energy reality.

Will Joneslook at the devastating effect massive surges (and equally massive collapses) of solar power has on the UK’s electricity grid, already groaning from the chaotic delivery of wind power.

The team from Jo Nova report on Australia’s self-inflicted liquid fuel crisis, where what should be an energy-rich country now finds itself entirely dependent on external sources, thanks to hydrocarbon hating lunatics.

Frank Lasee reports on how Donald J Trump pulled a Jedi-mind-trick on Democrats and the MSM, by getting French energy giant, TotalEnergies to redirect the $billion it was going to squander on offshore wind projects (before Trump pulled the plug on that rort) into American oil, natural gas, and LNG projects.
Trump’s ‘billion-dollar giveaway’ actually a refund to free us from costly offshore wind

Andrew Montford gives a helpful run down on the Iberian peninsula blackout, when Spain and Portugal’s solar and wind dominated grid went dark in a matter of seconds.

As the climate cult keep talking up all EV’s, wind turbines and solar panels, energy realists keep talking about the slave labour needed to produce feelgood motor vehicles and pointless energy sources.
Stay tuned, STT will be back next week with more.
STOP THESE THINGS 
I feel that windmills will soon be obsolete and leave us with one of the worst environmental problem in history. They will stay around forever contaminating Earth with no place to render them safe! They have materials that are hazardous and cannot be recycled! I will be glad to see them gone, but in years to come they will go down as the worst environmental mistake ever made!
