The wind and solar ‘industries’ keep telling us that their (occasional) product is always the cheapest, by miles. That story rests on the claim that the wind and sun always ‘free’. All that’s needed is the right ideological will to harness sunshine and breezes. That, and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies, of course. … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 July 2026

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 28 June 2026
A lie might get halfway around the world before the truth can get its trousers on, but the truth eventually catches up. Which is why the Climate Industrial Complex is on the ropes. Growing hostility to weather-driven power rationing and crushing power bills is just the beginning. The great wind and solar fraud sit at … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 28 June 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

The Chinese Communist Party plays a long and cunning game. China supplies millions of solar panels, wind turbines and the systems that operate them, so infiltrating their enemy’s power networks is a cinch. In the US, several states have scotched wind power projects backed by the CCP precisely because the systems can be readily controlled … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 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

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

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

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

Germans are renowned for their thoroughness, and their obsessional delusion with wind and solar has most thoroughly destroyed their reputation as the world’s premier manufacturing power. No country went harder or faster than Germany, when it came to the massive rollout of massively subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The result has been the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 19 October 2025
