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

Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Drives Punishing Cost of Net-Zero CO2 Delusion
Around the globe, the proles are on the march. They’ve worked out that the wind and solar 'transition' is the cause of their crushing power bills. In the US, contrary to almost every pundit’s prediction, Donald J Trump stormed home with a very convincing victory, grabbing control of every level of government. Trump’s promise of … Continue reading Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Drives Punishing Cost of Net-Zero CO2 Delusion
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
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
Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Every wind turbine, solar panel and lithium battery is the product of scarce resources, and not just the rare stuff mined by 9-year-olds in the Congo. Claims about a ‘green’ Utopia never touch on the volume of mineral and other resources required to get there. Nor do the West’s great virtue signallers pay much lip … Continue reading Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)
Claims about an inevitable wind and solar transition show wishful thinking is no match for the laws of physics. Sunset (a daily occurrence, for the uninitiated) and calm weather (also a common and natural phenomenon) are where the physical reality begins; and the much-heralded shift to an all-wind and solar-powered future begins to unravel. Then … Continue reading Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)
Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
On any reckoning, wind power is an abject failure. Dilute and diffuse, chaotically intermittent, insanely costly (when backup costs are included) and a wholesale environmental disaster, wiping out millions of birds, bats and beneficial bugs, and wrecking the livability the rural communities, nothing stacks up apart from the massive and endless subsidies upon which the … Continue reading Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count
Simply Staggering: Gobsmacking Cost of Using Batteries to ‘Store’ Wind & Solar Power
Rent-seekers would have us believe that battery storage will soon cure wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency, notionally smoothing out the highs and filling in the lows (aka sunset and calm weather). The only thing wrong with that narrative is the fact that it is an outright lie. Lithium-ion battery technology is probably as good … Continue reading Simply Staggering: Gobsmacking Cost of Using Batteries to ‘Store’ Wind & Solar Power
Total Bunkum: Why Running On 100% Wind & Solar Is 100% Impossible
No country in the world is running on wind and solar power alone; no country ever will. Calm weather and sunset guarantee it. Every routine collapse in wind and solar power output (for the reasons above) requires the total capacity lost in consequence to come from somewhere, and that ‘somewhere’ is going to be a … Continue reading Total Bunkum: Why Running On 100% Wind & Solar Is 100% Impossible
Planned Failure: Wind Power Obsession Leaves Britain’s Power Supply On Brink Of Collapse
You know policymakers have lost the plot when they start waxing lyrical about battery storage and ‘green’ hydrogen; neither of which exist at any scale; neither of which are even vaguely economic, even with massive taxpayer-funded subsidies to prop them up. English dictionary doyen, Samuel Johnson reckoned that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, … Continue reading Planned Failure: Wind Power Obsession Leaves Britain’s Power Supply On Brink Of Collapse
