Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 16 November 2025

The offshore wind industry is facing wholesale slaughter. Donald Trump has turned the tables on the offshore wind scam, which has been merrily slaughtering whales, dolphins and more with complete impunity. Now it’s the offshore wind scammers who face brutal annihilation. Dozens of planned projects, involving thousands of turbines have been shelved. The effect on … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 16 November 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 10 August 2025

Wind and solar industry rent-seekers who shackled their crony-capitalist futures to the net-zero CO2 emissions scam are watching their dreams unravel and turn to bitter nightmare. The USA was once a very profitable playground for these scammers. Then, along came Donald J Trump, who continues to rain on their parade. And plenty of other countries … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 10 August 2025

Destination Blackout: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Wrecking Reliable Power Supplies

Because electricity demand is a here and now kind of thing, intermittent wind and solar will never amount to meaningful generation sources. Ever. The game has been all smoke and mirrors for more than 20 years. When the sun is up and the wind reaches a constant bluster, you can’t shut them up. But you … Continue reading Destination Blackout: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Wrecking Reliable Power Supplies

No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Rent-seekers keep telling us that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. Our crushing and ever-increasing power bills wherever wind and solar signify, suggests otherwise. Their propagandists employ a bag of tricks in an effort to support the narrative. The game includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of … Continue reading No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear

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

Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing

In another you ‘couldn’t make it up’ moment, the wind industry has been busted burning tonnes of diesel to keep turbines spinning in an effort to prevent them freezing solid during cold weather. In Scotland, the ‘fossil fuel’ consumption outbreak involves burning diesel in local generators, which send power into the turbines to keep them … Continue reading Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing

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

Oil & Gas Producers Making Massive Profits From Intermittent Wind & Solar

Oil and gas producers are making a killing thanks to chaotically intermittent wind and solar, providing fuel to run gas and diesel generators as so-called ‘backup’. Mike Holly apparently doesn’t like monopolies and has a set against hydrocarbons. However, he makes a fair point targeting oil and gas producers making a killing every time wind … Continue reading Oil & Gas Producers Making Massive Profits From Intermittent Wind & Solar

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

Fun’s Over: America’s ‘Green’ Investors Ditch Climate Action Zealotry

The climate cult thought the serious money was all in, forever. Til now, weather zealots could call on Wall Street to bankroll the climate industrial complex; there was no end to the amount of money available for harebrained, uneconomic wind and solar projects; no end to the unhinged war on hydrocarbons. These days, not so … Continue reading Fun’s Over: America’s ‘Green’ Investors Ditch Climate Action Zealotry
