Any country that signed up to the subsidised wind and solar scam is facing the inevitable power pricing and supply calamity that follows. Now that they’re facing the inevitable backlash from taxpayers and power consumers (ie voters), many of those same countries are quietly crab walking away from the avoidable disasters they created. The outbreak … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 13 July 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 6 July 2025
As Americans celebrated the 4th of July, Donald J Trump was busy delivering Independence from the grand subsidised wind and solar scam. Their President hates these things, with a passion, and is determined to Make America The Great Energy Powerhouse Again. Unleashing America’s vast hydrocarbon reserves and turning them into productivity and prosperity is part … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 6 July 2025
Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality
The trouble with reality is that eventually crushes delusions and wishful thinking, just like the notion we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Hope collides pretty quickly with the inherent failing of power generators that can’t deliver on demand. No one cares much for freezing or boiling in the dark. And no … Continue reading Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality
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
Dumping The ‘Clean’ Energy Mess Right In Your Backyard
The anything inevitable about the so-called wind and solar transition is that people inevitably conclude the whole thing is an environmental and economic fraud. There’s nothing ‘clean’, ‘green’ or even vaguely ‘renewable’ about solar panels and wind turbines. Which are utterly pointless, because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. Solar panel … Continue reading Dumping The ‘Clean’ Energy Mess Right In Your Backyard
Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
The Electric Vehicle crowd are struggling to deflect attention from the disastrous environmental impacts caused by their shiny new Teslas. Wedded to their own virtuous piety, EV owners evidently ignore the hypocrisy that sits at the heart of every EV: a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery, whether it’s used to power an all-EV or as … Continue reading Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
Natural Limits: World’s Mineral Supply Can’t Match Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Demands
The climate cult reckons we’re well on our way to an all-wind and solar-powered future. But with the wind and solar industries’ demand for raw materials - like copper - already outstripping supply, the grand ‘transition’ will soon hit some very natural limits. Inside every giant industrial wind turbine, there’s a bevy of rare minerals which … Continue reading Natural Limits: World’s Mineral Supply Can’t Match Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Demands
What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
The way the wind cult tells it, you’d think these things were made in heaven using moonbeams and fairy dust. The reality is altogether more industrial. Every wind turbine is the product of a myriad of minerals consumed in enormous quantities, along with staggering amounts of energy needed to combine them all into a machine … Continue reading What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
It’s a challenge to distill any sensible narrative from the grand wind and solar transition. The subtext is always and everywhere about deflecting attention from their natural incapacity to deliver power as and when it’s needed. Also known as the ‘hopeless intermittency problem’. The ‘answers’ pitched up seem only limited by the rather fertile (albeit … Continue reading Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
Harnessing energy was the secret of success for every first world economy. Destroying the systems that delivered it will be the reason for their demise and ultimate failure. The notion that wind and solar can deliver the kind of power upon which those economies were built is nothing more than a grand delusion, driven by … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
