Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 5 July 2026

250 years ago, renegade Americans declared independence from Britain and the rest, as they say, ‘is history’. The stirring words of the Declaration, of course, meant nothing unless the characters behind it were ready to fight and die for it. Which they duly were. In recent times, another American renegade declared energy independence from the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 5 July 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 21 June 2026

Households and businesses have been waking up to crushing power bills for more than a decade, but it’s only now that politicians have started to wake up to the obvious cause of that misery, and a few of them appear ready to do something about it. Sure, there would be no discussion about wind and … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 21 June 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 7 June 2026

Whereas the onshore wind ‘industry’ is touched with an insanity all its own, taking these things offshore is positively bonkers. The massive cost of construction and routine maintenance skyrockets when these things get speared into the ocean floor, left to corrode in a brutal marine environment. The inherent chaos involved with delivering electricity entirely dependent … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 7 June 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 24 May 2026

The inevitable disintegration of wind turbines and solar panels provides the perfect example of entropy: inherent disorder, randomness and chaos - all bundled up with the destruction of reliable power supplies and the desecration of pristine environments and/or productive farmland. On that score - for wind and solar scammers - it’s a case of ‘so … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 24 May 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 19 April 26

For the best part of 30 years, rent-seeking wind and solar outfits have claimed their (occasionally delivered) products are the cheapest around. Always overlooking the hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and the benefits of punitive mandates and targets in their favour. However, whenever talk turns to cutting those subsidies or removing the mandates … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 19 April 26

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 29 March 2026

Western Civilisation was built entirely on our ability to harness, master and utilise energy, but, for the last half-century or so, its abundance has been taken for granted. That delusional leadership across the West have signed up to suicidal, ideologically-driven wind and solar scams is the natural consequence of a generation who have absolutely no … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 29 March 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 23 March 2026

The Trump administration has done more to restore energy sanity, than any government in recent history. Smashing the offshore wind scam with relish, Donald Trump has well and truly earned his stripes, as far as STT is concerned. But, not content with wrecking the massive subsidy model upon which fake energy rests, the US President … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 23 March 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 March 2026

All of a sudden, for some strange reason, the anti-fossil fuel rhetoric has shifted. Whereas Greta and her gang of miserable human-haters have spent every waking hour demonising oil and gas as pure evil, as soon as hydrocarbons run short, a peculiar form of self-interested panic grips, and the narrative flips. Hard to fly around … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 March 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 March 2026

Mandates, targets and subsidies to wind and solar have wrecked power markets, preventing nuclear power generation from doing what it does best: delivering safe, reliable and affordable power around-the-clock, whatever the weather. The wind and sun cult rant about the cost of nuclear, but avoid details the colossal pricetag of attempting to run on sunshine … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 March 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 February 2026

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: 15 February 2026
