History will punish those who encouraged a bunch of rent-seeking psychopaths to destroy Western energy independence, peace and prosperity. Once upon a time in Australia soldiers, sheep-shearers, engineers and business leaders occupied the Treasury benches. These days it’s career politicians: Arts grads who started out as political advisers destined for a Parliament now dominated by … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 3 May 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 April 26
South Australia and South Africa share the same maniacal obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar. South Australia and South Africa also share the same crushing power prices that have destroyed industry and punish households and families. They also deliberately set out to destroy coal-fired power generation systems that had kept the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 April 26
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

The net-zero nut jobs are howling like banshees about the lack of liquid fuel. Hypocrisy amongst hydrocarbon haters is the new black. On their world view, the myriad benefits of oil and gas are for them, not YOU. Same goes for electricity. Mandates and massive subsidies for chaotically delivered wind and solar, coupled with punitive … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 April 26

Western Europe’s sad and sorry descent started with delusional claims that wind and solar can power industrial economies, all by themselves. Massively subsidised, delivered only occasional and then on a chaotic basis, their insane cost and inherent unreliability has gutted Germany’s industrial sector and delivered punitive power prices across the Continent. Weakened by an ideology … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 5 April 2026

Western Civilisation was built entirely on our ability to harness, master and utilise energy, but, for the last half-century or so, its abundance has been taken for granted. That delusional leadership across the West have signed up to suicidal, ideologically-driven wind and solar scams is the natural consequence of a generation who have absolutely no … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 29 March 2026

All of a sudden, for some strange reason, the anti-fossil fuel rhetoric has shifted. Whereas Greta and her gang of miserable human-haters have spent every waking hour demonising oil and gas as pure evil, as soon as hydrocarbons run short, a peculiar form of self-interested panic grips, and the narrative flips. Hard to fly around … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 March 2026

Donald Trump has thrashed the wind industry to within an inch of its life, soon enough the AI revolution will deliver the fatal blow. A mixture of Trump’s hatred of the greatest scam in history and the surging demand for the reliable - around-the-clock - electricity needed for a technology that promises to reshape the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 7 December 2025

The net-zero scam is unravelling around the world, simply because power prices are rocketing out of control and the proles have worked out why. Much to the horror of the crony capitalist crowd, the connection between crushing power prices and chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar was made long ago. No amount of … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 30 November 2025

Having openly declared total war on the wind and solar industry rent-seekers, the 47th President is following through with a new round battle plans aimed at annihilating those profiting from the greatest economic and environmental fraud, of all time.
