The life spans of wind turbines and solar panels are a tiny fraction of what’s claimed by their proponents. Thousands of these things rust away on hillsides; millions of solar panels and millions of wind turbine blades have already hit the scrapheap, and we’re barely 20 years in on our ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 July 2026

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

The secret to destroying an economy from within starts by wrecking energy supplies and there’s no better wrecking ball than subsidised wind and solar. Insanely costly and chaotically delivered, occasional electricity guarantees shrinking supply and escalating prices. If de-industrialisation is the target, wind and solar provide the perfect ammo. Which brings us to this week’s … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 14 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

The only inevitable result of the inevitable wind and solar ‘transition’ is the destruction of reliable and affordable power supplies. As night follows day, the chaotic delivery of massively subsidised wind and solar takes, once dynamic, economies from a pathway to growth and prosperity, and dumps them on the road to penury and perdition. Wind … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 31 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

For the best part of 20 years wind and solar scammers have enjoyed the benefit of legacy press support. The MSM provided helpful cover for the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, managing to convince the proles that an all wind and sun powered future was just over the horizon; a time when … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 10 May 2026

History will punish those who encouraged a bunch of rent-seeking psychopaths to destroy Western energy independence, peace and prosperity. Once upon a time in Australia soldiers, sheep-shearers, engineers and business leaders occupied the Treasury benches. These days it’s career politicians: Arts grads who started out as political advisers destined for a Parliament now dominated by … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 3 May 2026

South Australia and South Africa share the same maniacal obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar. South Australia and South Africa also share the same crushing power prices that have destroyed industry and punish households and families. They also deliberately set out to destroy coal-fired power generation systems that had kept the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 26 April 26

The net-zero nut jobs are howling like banshees about the lack of liquid fuel. Hypocrisy amongst hydrocarbon haters is the new black. On their world view, the myriad benefits of oil and gas are for them, not YOU. Same goes for electricity. Mandates and massive subsidies for chaotically delivered wind and solar, coupled with punitive … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 April 26
