As Donald J Trump tells the world that America’s “not gonna do the wind thing” anymore, wind industry rent seekers are in a state of suicidal panic. As promised, Trump has signed executive orders that will pull offshore wind power projects to a grinding halt, as well as onshore projects that were slated for Federal … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 January 2025

Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
The wind and solar ‘industries’ profit from two tier environmental regulation. Where a gas or coal project gets knocked out of the park over a speckled banjo frog or a sea snake, the deliberate slaughter of rare and iconic creatures to make way for wind turbines or solar panels rarely raises an eyebrow with those … Continue reading Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
These days the dark satanic mills are scorched wind turbines with their disintegrating blades flapping aimlessly in the breeze. Industrialising the countryside, destroying productive farming communities and wrecking the natural environment is all part and parcel of the great wind and solar ‘transition’. Then there’s the fact that these things are lucky to deliver power … Continue reading Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are clear-felling ancient forests, bulldozing whole mountains, stripping the last remnants of fragile vegetation from deserts, killing endangered whales, eagles, bats and more, turning productive farmland into industrial wastelands and are being paid handsomely to do so by the governments you elect. Seems legit, right? As Bonner Cohan outlines below, … Continue reading Ecological Nightmare: Wind & Solar Rollout Delivers Permanent Environmental Destruction
Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
The cult demonises coal for the CO2 it releases, but without a hint of irony reckons that the CO2 released from wood is a completely different molecule. Adding the term ‘biomass’ to the millions of tonnes of timber stripped from the forests of the northern hemisphere apparently makes all the difference. Whereas the term ‘dirty’ … Continue reading Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
Destroying the Planet to ‘Save It’: Green Hypocrites Demand Even More Wind & Solar
Leaving a wake of environmental destruction wherever it plies its subsidy-soaked trade, the wind industry is the Grand Master of green hypocrisy. Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. And it’s not just pristine rainforests - critical habitat for a countless … Continue reading Destroying the Planet to ‘Save It’: Green Hypocrites Demand Even More Wind & Solar
Licenced Exterminators: Government Greenlights Wind Industry’s Mass Koala Kill
As the wind industry rips up huge tracts of Australia’s wilderness, including pristine tropical forests, the iconic koala is literally for the chop. The wind industry treats the koala as yet another expendable critter - just like whales, dolphins, eagles, hawks, bats and more. The US offshore wind industry has been given the green light … Continue reading Licenced Exterminators: Government Greenlights Wind Industry’s Mass Koala Kill
Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
