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

Power Vacuum: Adding More Turbines Means Less Wind Power Output

When the wind isn’t knocking the stuffing out of these things (see above), it struggles to keep them spinning as more turbines get added to any given location. Known as ‘wake effects’, every wind turbine downwind from another receives less air and/or a less direct flow of air towards its blades, reducing efficiency and therefore … Continue reading Power Vacuum: Adding More Turbines Means Less Wind Power Output

Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity

Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits - aka ‘dunkelflaute’ - … Continue reading Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity

Trump’s New Nuclear Policy About Making Energy Reliable & Affordable Again

That prosperous economies depend upon reliable and affordable energy, is no secret. Indeed, the destruction of the West is predicated on the destruction of our energy supplies, dressed up in cynical claims about ‘climate action saving the planet’. The United States didn’t become the world’s leading superpower by using sunshine and breezes. It led the … Continue reading Trump’s New Nuclear Policy About Making Energy Reliable & Affordable Again

Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power

Germany’s fixation on subsidised wind and solar gave rise to the destruction of its once enviable nuclear power generation capacity. The so-called wind and solar transition aka the ‘Energiewende’ has been an unmitigated disaster, with perfectly avoidable and perfectly predictable power rationing and crushing power prices driving German manufacturing industries and businesses to the wall. … Continue reading Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power

Utter Madness: Solar Rush Destroys Germany’s Power Grid

Germany’s grand wind and solar transition is delivering perfectly predictable chaos. So much so its power grid is being driven to the brink of total collapse by the unchecked (and heavily subsidised) increase in intermittent solar generation, both large-scale and domestic. Those in charge of the grid have been pointing out the risk for years … Continue reading Utter Madness: Solar Rush Destroys Germany’s Power Grid

Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse

Europe’s wind and solar industries are on the ropes, thanks to the sudden embrace of ever-reliable nuclear power across the Continent. Producing machines that can never produce power on demand was always going to end in tears. But moves to amp up construction of nuclear power plants - initiated by the French and followed by … Continue reading Europe’s Nuclear Reset Means Wind Turbine Makers Face Total Collapse

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

Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession

There’s no better example of how heavily subsidised wind and solar will wreck an economy than Germany. Over the last 20 years, the Germans have destroyed their once reliable and affordable power supplies and ‘replaced’ it with chaotically intermittent wind and solar; but without coal-fired power from Poland and nuclear power from France, Germans would … Continue reading Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession

Business Freeze: Germany’s Last Solar Panel Manufacturers Finally Crushed

Germany’s costly and chaotic wind and solar transition has served up plenty of casualties. Large numbers of energy intensive manufacturers have already bailed out - chasing cheap power prices in places like the US and Singapore. Now, in a rather ironic twist, its solar panel manufacturing industry has all but thrown in the towel. Notwithstanding … Continue reading Business Freeze: Germany’s Last Solar Panel Manufacturers Finally Crushed
