Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 February 2025

As wind power output across the UK continues to plummet, Matt Ridley smashes the notion that Britain is on the brink of wind and solar Nirvana, noting Britain’s so-called energy policy has turned to a risible farce. Britain’s net zero, green energy madness is set for a head-on collision with reality The Telegraph Matt Ridley … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 February 2025

‘Green’ Pyromania: Wind Turbine Fireballs Keep Setting the World On Fire

Another day, another firestorm caused by a self-immolating wind turbine. Once ignited, they rain down tonnes of flaming oil, and spew burning plastics and fibreglass across tinder dry grass and brush land. That ability to start bushfires (to Australians) and wildfires (to Americans), means every single wind turbine grinding away in the countryside stands as … Continue reading ‘Green’ Pyromania: Wind Turbine Fireballs Keep Setting the World On Fire

Wind Industry’s Share Prices Plummet As More Offshore Wind Projects Get Scrapped

The wind industry’s financial misery is spreading like the toxic junk from disintegrating turbine blades that’s covering vast tracts of the Atlantic coastline. Once bullish forecasts for giant offshore wind turbine projects these days sound like suicide pacts involving other people’s money. Loose talk about mega-offshore projects has been replaced by massive and mounting losses … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Share Prices Plummet As More Offshore Wind Projects Get Scrapped

Project Prosperity: New Nuclear Age Heralds Cheap & Reliable Power Forever

The human-hating troglodytes who want us to freeze in the dark and eat bugs for breakfast, hate nuclear power - with a passion. Their unhinged antipathy towards the safest, most reliable and affordable power generation system there is, can be traced to the notion that cheap and abundant energy naturally leads to peace and prosperity, … Continue reading Project Prosperity: New Nuclear Age Heralds Cheap & Reliable Power Forever

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

Deadly Interference: Offshore Wind Turbines Wrecking Marine Radar Signals

Radar is critical to safe marine navigation, and pilots, both domestic and military, particularly when the weather turns sour. With offshore wind turbines the perfect radar signal wreckers, you'd think they were designed as some form of enemy espionage. Wind turbines standing on columns 100-150m or more above sea level, with the tips of their 50-80m … Continue reading Deadly Interference: Offshore Wind Turbines Wrecking Marine Radar Signals

Wind Turbine Fires: Clear & Present Danger to Rural Communities Everywhere

Another day, another self-immolating industrial wind turbine creating a mortal threat and danger to the rural communities into which these things are being relentlessly speared. Wind turbine fires are ten times more common than the wind industry and its parasites claim (see our post here and check out this website: http://turbinesonfire.org). The wind industry has been forced to … Continue reading Wind Turbine Fires: Clear & Present Danger to Rural Communities Everywhere

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

No Deal: Country Firefighters Refuse to Fight Wind Turbine and Solar Panel Fires

Fed up country firefighters are refusing to fight fires started by wind turbines, solar panels and giant batteries. Placing their lives at mortal risk to save others and their property, would be heroic enough. However, most of them are volunteers who spend hundreds of hours being trained in firefighting methods and how to do so … Continue reading No Deal: Country Firefighters Refuse to Fight Wind Turbine and Solar Panel Fires

Mister Floppy: Strong Winds Wiping Out (More) Ageing Wind Turbines

As they get older, wind turbines have a hard time keeping it together. Hit ‘em with strong wind and the fun begins. Blades disintegrate, and chunks thereof relocate over vast distances - an exhilarating experience for anyone living, working or driving in the throw zone. Sometimes the entire hundred-tonne nacelle gets in on the action; … Continue reading Mister Floppy: Strong Winds Wiping Out (More) Ageing Wind Turbines
