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

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 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

The Trump administration has done more to restore energy sanity, than any government in recent history. Smashing the offshore wind scam with relish, Donald Trump has well and truly earned his stripes, as far as STT is concerned. But, not content with wrecking the massive subsidy model upon which fake energy rests, the US President … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 23 March 2026

Those few sorry souls still peddling the myth of the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ are either ignorant to the point of delusion or they’re in on it. In 2026, with electricity grids across the West being destroyed by suicidal so-called ‘energy policies’, neither can be forgiven for mere ineptitude or self-interested greed. Western civilisation … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 March 2026

Mandates, targets and subsidies to wind and solar have wrecked power markets, preventing nuclear power generation from doing what it does best: delivering safe, reliable and affordable power around-the-clock, whatever the weather. The wind and sun cult rant about the cost of nuclear, but avoid details the colossal pricetag of attempting to run on sunshine … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 March 2026

China’s industrial dominance is built on cheap, reliable and abundant coal-fired power. Sure, the CCP presents itself as a champion of wind and solar. Except, that it is way more interested in flogging wind turbines and solar panels to the Western economies it’s setting out to weaken and overtake, then it is on attempting to … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 22 February 2026

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: 15 February 2026

2026 will go down in history as the moment when sanity finally returned to energy policy across the globe. The big switch started in the USA, where the turnaround is being driven by a man who hates these things with a passion. The Germans and Danes led the charge with their suicidal subsidised wind and … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 11 January 2026
