The subsidised wind and solar chickens are coming home to roost - power prices are rocketing out of control in any jurisdiction attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. Adding mega-batteries only makes matters worse. With the ever-present threat of total blackouts, rent-seekers and their propaganda machines are still attempting to deflect and bury what … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 June 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
Subsidy-soaked wind and solar scammers have never had it so tough: in the USA, Donald Trump is making good on his threat to end the ‘green’ energy fraud, once and for all; and across the globe rural communities have unified in a full-scale revolt against the social, community and environmental destruction wrought by industrial wind … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
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
Weather Rules: Calm Nights Keep Killing Wild Wind & Solar Transition Claims
Talk a big game and you’d better be prepared to back it up. The wind and sun cult have been telling us that we’re well on our way to wind and solar powered future, for years now. But the prevalence of calm nights says otherwise. Over the last 6 months, the sun has been setting … Continue reading Weather Rules: Calm Nights Keep Killing Wild Wind & Solar Transition Claims
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
Grand Energy ‘Transition’ Unravels: Power-Starved Dutch Ditch Renewables & Go For Gas
Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ continues to unravel, with the Dutch the latest to ditch the pitch to so-called ‘renewables’. Small (geographically) and industrious, the Dutch have always managed to punch well above their weight, dominating seafaring trade through history and, these days, producing a staggeringly large proportion of the foodstuffs that are consumed around … Continue reading Grand Energy ‘Transition’ Unravels: Power-Starved Dutch Ditch Renewables & Go For Gas
Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
It’s like the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ suddenly lost its mojo. Wild claims and fanciful projections are giving way to a more sober reality. Demand for reliable and affordable energy, including electricity, continues to rise at rates that even the most ambitious wind and solar promoters can’t match. Soaring rhetoric is one thing, backing … Continue reading Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Frozen wind turbines and solar panels buried under piles of snow and ice produce nothing at all, except photo opportunities. When the weather conspires against the ‘unreliables’, somewhere there will be a coal, or gas or diesel powered generator ready to swing into action and prevent you from freezing in the dark. However, if the … Continue reading The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth
Coal, then oil and gas, have driven the mechanization and industrialisation responsible for lifting billions out of agrarian poverty, and all in the space of little more than a century. As a band of miserable misanthropes would have it, oil, coal and gas are an unadulterated evil to be driven back to the earthly depths … Continue reading Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth
