Spain’s 100% ‘reliance’ on wind and solar led to the World’s largest self-inflicted, total blackout, ever. Sure, wild winds and lightning will down power lines and plunge parts of a country into darkness. But, when sunset and/or benign, overcast weather are enough to sink an entire power grid, your obsession with intermittent wind and solar … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 18 May 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 13 April 2025
As the wind industry faces its inevitable Armageddon, and with their rearguard reduced to a miserable and angry rump, moves by Donald Trump to dismantle the Climate Industrial Complex gather apace. Which brings us to this week’s roundup. The team from Jo Nova highlights the fact that the massive and endless subsidies forked out to … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 13 April 2025
Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Drives Punishing Cost of Net-Zero CO2 Delusion
Around the globe, the proles are on the march. They’ve worked out that the wind and solar 'transition' is the cause of their crushing power bills. In the US, contrary to almost every pundit’s prediction, Donald J Trump stormed home with a very convincing victory, grabbing control of every level of government. Trump’s promise of … Continue reading Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Drives Punishing Cost of Net-Zero CO2 Delusion
Soft Targets: Giant Lithium-ion Batteries Perfect For Enemy Hacker Attacks
The remote targeting and detonation of the pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah terrorists has shaken security experts around the globe. What else might be targeted, they muse? Well, obviously enough, distributed wind and solar power generation systems which are all connected to the Internet (in one way or another) provide pretty decent targets for … Continue reading Soft Targets: Giant Lithium-ion Batteries Perfect For Enemy Hacker Attacks
Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You
Millions of ageing wind turbines and solar panels have passed their use by dates and are on their way to landfills near you. While steel, aluminium, copper and other metals can be scavenged from what’s left of a wind turbine carcass, the 10-30 tonne blades (filled with toxic Bisphenol-A) are simply cut up, crushed and … Continue reading Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You
Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies
The wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies and run on subsidies. The electricity that the occasionally produce has no commercial value, simply because it can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And because their output can’t be controlled, producers get paid a fortune to produce nothing at all to prevent … Continue reading Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies
Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Cornered with wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency, the cult cries “storage”, as some kind of crushing hex against the energy realists ready to tackle their delusional thinking. The ideologue never lets the facts get in the way of radical, self-destructive policies, especially when it comes to energy. The application of simple arithmetic is enough to … Continue reading Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant
Solar panels love sunshine, dislike clouds and positively detest dust storms, hailstorms and Hurricanes. Now, if they weren’t meant to be producing power as and when we need it, none of that would matter very much, at all. Except that rent-seekers reckon that an endless sea of solar panels, hooked up to a few billion … Continue reading Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant
Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
The Electric Vehicle crowd are struggling to deflect attention from the disastrous environmental impacts caused by their shiny new Teslas. Wedded to their own virtuous piety, EV owners evidently ignore the hypocrisy that sits at the heart of every EV: a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery, whether it’s used to power an all-EV or as … Continue reading Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities
Electric Vehicles running on wind and solar power captured and stored in lithium-ion batteries is all part of the grand ‘transition’, or so we’re told. Except when those batteries self-immolate, burn for days and spew out a deadly toxic plume that threatens anything but breaths for miles around. Not that the pyrotechnic mayhem attracts much … Continue reading EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities
