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

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
Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You
Millions of ageing wind turbines and solar panels have passed their use by dates and are on their way to landfills near you. While steel, aluminium, copper and other metals can be scavenged from what’s left of a wind turbine carcass, the 10-30 tonne blades (filled with toxic Bisphenol-A) are simply cut up, crushed and … Continue reading Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You
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
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
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
Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable
There’s nothing vaguely ‘renewable’ about wind and solar - when panels and turbines give up the ghost after a decade or so, the panels are crushed and dumped in landfills, as are millions of turbine blades. None of which is recycled; none of which is renewable. The panels and turbines are completely replaced and the … Continue reading Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable
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
Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
A while back, wind industry spinners reckoned tourists would flock to see a few of these whirling wonders in action, now they’re flocking to their graveyards. 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
Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
The wind and solar industry’s sales pitch has been exemplary, but their product delivery and after-sales service is pure rubbish. Incapable of delivering electricity on demand, wind and solar will never amount to anything other than an effort in pointless vanity signalling. It’s late 2023, and the wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment … Continue reading Global Wind Industry’s Sudden Collapse Proves Physics Beats Platitudes, Every Time
