This week’s roundup leads with South Australia's return to dirty diesel generators. SA is touted as Australia's wind and solar capital, and its quiet effort to increase diesel generation capacity stands as one almighty embarrassing admission of failure. In other news, Peter Dutton (Australia's Federal opposition leader) is channelling Donald J Trump with an announcement … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 November 2024
This week’s roundup includes articles on how wind and solar's hopeless intermittency is wrecking power grids in the UK and Germany - in a version of energy Russian roulette; the insane mortal danger faced by construction workers dealing with giant 80m blades weighing close to 30 tonnes - with one man killed in Victoria, adding … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 November 2024
Blade-Runners Busted: State Sues Fake ‘Recycler’ For Dumping Wind Turbine Blades
Millions of toxic wind turbine blades have already been dumped in landfill, with millions more to follow. The wind industry is filled with shysters of all shapes and sizes, and has managed to spawn a peculiar a sub-species that spends their days telling everyone about their wonderful plans to recycle turbine blades, and their nights … Continue reading Blade-Runners Busted: State Sues Fake ‘Recycler’ For Dumping Wind Turbine Blades
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
Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
These things have a nasty habit of self-destructing without notice - whether it’s shredding and/or throwing their blades for miles, or spontaneously combusting in toxic fireballs, the environmental damage done is immediate and often permanent. In a recent post - Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless - we covered the story … Continue reading Disintegrating Offshore Turbine Blades Littering Coast With Shredded Toxic Fibreglass
Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless
Farmers foolish enough to enter contracts with wind power outfits soon live to regret it. Having their land permanently contaminated by shredded fibreglass when turbines explode into balls of flame and/or their blades merely disintegrate (known in the trade as “component liberation”) is just one of a list of disasters waiting to happen. At first … Continue reading Fibreglass From Shredded Wind Turbine Blades Renders Farming Land Useless
Perfectly Justified: Furious Communities Reject Wind & Solar Rollout
The wind and solar industries’ so-called ‘social licence’ evaporated, years ago. Now, rural communities are on the war path. These days, they’re better armed and better equipped to take on rent-seeking carpetbaggers who couldn’t care less about destroying their peaceful and prosperous communities. Thanks to sites like this one, community defenders can spot the lies … Continue reading Perfectly Justified: Furious Communities Reject Wind & Solar Rollout
Scorched Earth Policy: Wind and Solar Transition Wrecking The Environment & The Economy
Stripped to its core, the wind and solar ‘transition’ is all about trashing the environment and the economy, simultaneously. Incapable of delivering reliable and affordable power as and when we need it, and accordingly driving up the cost of the stuff that can be delivered on demand, power prices inevitably rocket out of control - … Continue reading Scorched Earth Policy: Wind and Solar Transition Wrecking The Environment & The Economy
Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
Claiming that wind and solar are green is simply nuts. Delivering rubbish power and leaving mountains of toxic rubbish in their wake, solar panels and industrial wind turbines are the antithesis of ‘green’. Assuming that ‘green’ means friendly to environments, people and the communities that they live in? As Michael Shellenberger explains during this Chris … Continue reading Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie

Texans now have the opportunity to visit the growing piles of toxic turbine blades and other junk left over after these things give up the ghost. James Morrow and … Continue reading Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
