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
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 25 February 2025
Wind and solar sit at the heart of the net-zero CO2 emissions scam which, thanks to Donald J Trump, is in its terminal phase. Indeed, the climate cult and its beneficiaries are in more trouble the Ned Kelly and his bushranger brothers at Glenrowan. Kicking off this week’s roundup, Robert Bryce provides a delightful summary … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 25 February 2025
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 January 2025
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.

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024
This week’s roundup leads with South Australia's return to dirty diesel generators. SA is touted as Australia's wind and solar capital, and its quiet effort to increase diesel generation capacity stands as one almighty embarrassing admission of failure. In other news, Peter Dutton (Australia's Federal opposition leader) is channelling Donald J Trump with an announcement … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 November 2024
This week’s roundup includes articles on how wind and solar's hopeless intermittency is wrecking power grids in the UK and Germany - in a version of energy Russian roulette; the insane mortal danger faced by construction workers dealing with giant 80m blades weighing close to 30 tonnes - with one man killed in Victoria, adding … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 November 2024
Stop These Things’ Weekly Roundup: 3 November 2024
Since December 2012, Stop These Things has been slugging away, exposing the grand subsidised wind and solar scam. When the site was fired up by a handful of dedicated volunteers 12 years ago, it was one of a very few tackling the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. Not quite an orphan, but … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Roundup: 3 November 2024
Blade-Runners Busted: State Sues Fake ‘Recycler’ For Dumping Wind Turbine Blades
Millions of toxic wind turbine blades have already been dumped in landfill, with millions more to follow. The wind industry is filled with shysters of all shapes and sizes, and has managed to spawn a peculiar a sub-species that spends their days telling everyone about their wonderful plans to recycle turbine blades, and their nights … Continue reading Blade-Runners Busted: State Sues Fake ‘Recycler’ For Dumping Wind Turbine Blades
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
Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
Apart from the tendency of these things to self-incinerate and set the country ablaze, there’s their ability to wreck local weather patterns and, in the mother of all ironies, raise local temperatures - beyond those of the surrounding areas unaffected by these whirling wonders. Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and … Continue reading Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
