Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 November 2025

The ‘feelgood’ net-zero emissions narrative has been shielding wind and solar scammers from proper scrutiny for years. With that narrative in political tatters, panicked rent seekers are running for cover. The great unwashed are now alive to the staggering cost and pointless benefits (never properly defined) of cutting man-made carbon oxide gas emissions - purportedly … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 November 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 October 2025

In the USA, wholesale carnage across the entire wind industry apace.

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 October 2025

The offshore wind industry has as much chance of recovering as the dodo and the woolly mammoth. Donald Trump’s obliteration of America’s offshore wind industry is gathering pace. And with dozens of projects worth $billions in capital expenditure being quietly scrapped, offshore wind construction outfits and turbine manufacturers face financial annihilation. Which brings us to … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 October 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 27 July 2025

Slash the massive subsidies and the so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear in a heartbeat. The chaotic delivery of part-time power has never made any sense. And the world is waking up to that unassailable fact. Which brings us to this week’s roundup, starting the team from Jo Nova reporting on BP’s moment of … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 27 July 2025

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 … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 March 2025

Energy Essentials: Why Modern Civilisation Critically Depends On Coal, Oil & Gas

In a world where humans are regarded as cockroaches and wilful ignorance a winning virtue, it’s little wonder that misanthropes in the West hate everything about coal, oil and gas. Except the myriad benefits that they bring. You won’t find the same attitudes being expressed in India, China and Indonesia - where hydrocarbons are dragging … Continue reading Energy Essentials: Why Modern Civilisation Critically Depends On Coal, Oil & Gas

Life Support: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Keeping the Lights On

Thanks to their chaotic intermittency, any increase in wind and solar capacity brings with it their capacity to bring down whole power grids. In Australia, the only thing preventing a total system black are its remaining coal-fired power plants. The very plants that the massive subsidies, punitive mandates and ludicrous wind and solar targets are … Continue reading Life Support: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Keeping the Lights On

Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance

There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce in the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost … Continue reading Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance

Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rattled By New Nuclear Power Policy

The wind and sun cult’s infantile reaction to nuclear power demonstrates that it’s the generation source for grown-ups. But it’s not so much the reaction of the propagandists and cheer squad that matters, it’s the response from those profiting from the wind and solar scam that determines the political playing field from here on. Nothing … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rattled By New Nuclear Power Policy

Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas

As the wind and sun cult would have it, the days of ‘dirty fossil fuels’ are done. Never mind that without coal, oil and gas the manufacture and construction of wind turbines and solar panels would be thoroughly impossible. Moreover, without coal-fired power plants and/or gas and diesel backup plants, we’ll all be sitting boiling … Continue reading Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
