One central theme in the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ myth is that millions of solar panels and wind turbines are “replacing” conventional generators, like gas or coal-fired power plants. The reality is that (occasionally generated) wind and solar momentarily “displace” power that conventional generators are able to deliver around-the-clock, whatever the weather for a … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 23 August 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 July 2026
The life spans of wind turbines and solar panels are a tiny fraction of what’s claimed by their proponents. Thousands of these things rust away on hillsides; millions of solar panels and millions of wind turbine blades have already hit the scrapheap, and we’re barely 20 years in on our ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 July 2026
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 July 2026
The wind and solar ‘industries’ keep telling us that their (occasional) product is always the cheapest, by miles. That story rests on the claim that the wind and sun always ‘free’. All that’s needed is the right ideological will to harness sunshine and breezes. That, and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies, of course. … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 July 2026
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 19 April 26
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 … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 19 April 26
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 February 2026
Every single country that embraced chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar is suffering from out-of-control power prices. No exceptions. Not one. The harder and faster they went, the more sudden the inevitable power pricing and supply calamity that follows. Germany, California, Denmark, South Australia are just the most obvious examples. Which brings us … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 February 2026
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 11 May 2025
Desperate and increasingly defenceless, the carpetbaggers profiting from the great wind and solar scam are struggling to quell a popular revolt against rocketing power bills and blackouts. Spaniards and Portuguese, among them. And as the utterly obscene hidden costs of net-zero insanity bubble to the surface, the outrage is palpable. Which brings us to this … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 11 May 2025
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
Subsidy-soaked wind and solar scammers have never had it so tough: in the USA, Donald Trump is making good on his threat to end the ‘green’ energy fraud, once and for all; and across the globe rural communities have unified in a full-scale revolt against the social, community and environmental destruction wrought by industrial wind … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
