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: 18 May 2025

Critical Energy: Europe’s Voters Reject Greens’ Pro-Wind & Solar/Anti-Human Policies
Human civilisation is all about harnessing energy. Which is why the so-called ‘Green’ is hell-bent on destroying the system that provides cheap and reliable energy - be it electricity, gas, coal or oil. And they especially hate nuclear power generation. They promote hopelessly unreliable wind and solar not because they want you to have power … Continue reading Critical Energy: Europe’s Voters Reject Greens’ Pro-Wind & Solar/Anti-Human Policies
Licence Cancelled: Top French Court Strikes Down Unlawful Wind Farm Planning Rules
Wind farm noise ‘guidelines’ (written by the industry’s pet consultants) never survive first contact with careful legal scrutiny. In the Victorian Bald Hills case, Justice Richards of the Victorian Supreme Court not only ordered the wind farm operator to shut down its turbines at night to limit the noise nuisance they created, her Honour slammed … Continue reading Licence Cancelled: Top French Court Strikes Down Unlawful Wind Farm Planning Rules
Poles Apart: Poland Joins Europe’s Nuclear Power Renaissance
Poland is the latest country to join the Europe-wide nuclear power renaissance. While their German neighbours set out to destroy their once reliable and affordable power supply with a maniacal attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, the Poles kept powering on using their abundant coal reserves. The same coal-fired plants routinely provide surplus power … Continue reading Poles Apart: Poland Joins Europe’s Nuclear Power Renaissance
Renewables Targets Scrapped: Britain Joins French Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
The French are just the latest European power to ditch ludicrous wind and solar generation targets in favour of nuclear power. And Britain is lining up to do much the same. Both have adopted net zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets, and the only way of meeting them is safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. … Continue reading Renewables Targets Scrapped: Britain Joins French Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Locals Ecstatic: French Court Orders Demolition of Noisy, Eagle Killing Wind Turbines
A French Court has ordered the wipeout of a fleet of wind turbines that have been wiping out golden eagles and which long ago wiped out the ability of locals to sleep peacefully in their own homes. The turbines in question have been slaughtering birds, including golden eagles, for years incensing conservation groups, as well … Continue reading Locals Ecstatic: French Court Orders Demolition of Noisy, Eagle Killing Wind Turbines
Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing. Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position … Continue reading Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards
Rent-seekers and the wind and solar cult have conniptions at the merest mention of nuclear power, principally because it works around-the-clock. No need for batteries. No need for back up. Wild claims about the purported benefits of wind and solar never survive the first contact with reality. So, acolytes have to defer and deflect on … Continue reading If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards
French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research
The French have infuriated the wind and sun cult by demanding more nuclear power generation, across Europe. The cult is equally annoyed by the (rather inconvenient) fact that the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours, which doesn't sit well with the myth about nuclear power being … Continue reading French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research
Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
That the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours is the kind of barebones fact the wind and sun cult absolutely hate. The French set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over … Continue reading Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
