The ‘feelgood’ net-zero emissions narrative has been shielding wind and solar scammers from proper scrutiny for years. With that narrative in political tatters, panicked rent seekers are running for cover. The great unwashed are now alive to the staggering cost and pointless benefits (never properly defined) of cutting man-made carbon oxide gas emissions - purportedly … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 November 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
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
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
Hostage Crisis: Wind, Solar & EV Obsessed West Depends Entirely On China
The CCP is on the perfect path to destroy the West, thanks to our ludicrous obsession with intermittent wind and solar and overpriced electric vehicles. China dominates the production of solar panels, is top-level when it comes to the production of wind turbines (certainly by number of units produced) and is the key producer of … Continue reading Hostage Crisis: Wind, Solar & EV Obsessed West Depends Entirely On China
Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies
The millions of solar panels and hundreds of thousands of turbine blades already ground up in landfills means there’s absolutely nothing ‘renewable’ about wind or solar. The term ‘renewable’ is just another monstrous abuse of the English language perpetrated by a cult that would have us believe the unbelievable by ignoring the bleeding obvious: weather-dependent … Continue reading Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies
Wind Turbines Require Hundreds of Tonnes of Minerals Mined & Processed Using Fossil Fuels
Ignorance is a solid virtue among the wind and sun cult, who apparently believe that wind turbines self-replicate without the need for any assistance from those evil fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas. Their infantile imagination is better placed in a sci-fi pic with indestructible, self-repairing droids, than in earthly reality. An industrial wind turbine … Continue reading Wind Turbines Require Hundreds of Tonnes of Minerals Mined & Processed Using Fossil Fuels
Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
Once upon a time, the object was delivering power to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Not anymore. Chaotically delivered and heavily subsidised wind and solar have another object, and it is not one that their proponents dare speak of. If delivering reliable and affordable power were the object, then no one would be talking about … Continue reading Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles all critically depend upon a raft of minerals known as ‘rare earths’, as well as mountains of copper and cobalt. With the exponential increase in demand for minerals comes an exponential growth in the mountains of toxic filth left behind during mining and processing those minerals. The minerals … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power
The occasional generators - wind and solar deliver trivial amounts of electricity and take the best part of a continent to do it. Where land use matters, and it almost always matters, their lack of energy density is yet another reason why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources; not now, … Continue reading Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power
