As America goes, so goes the entire industrial wind and solar scam. It’s not just that President Donald J Trump hates rent-seekers - and the wind and solar ‘industries’ they inhabit - with a passion, it’s the fact that, by pulling the US out of the Climate Industrial Complex, the once secure and firmly subsidised … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 7 September 2025

Rent-Seeking Wind & Solar Scammers Stealing From Taxpayers
The great wind and solar scam has allowed crony capitalists to make out like bandits. While they couldn’t care less about delivering reliable and affordable power, try standing between them and a bucket of subsidies and they’ll soon respond. When depression era bank robber, Willie Sutton was asked by a journo why he robbed banks, … Continue reading Rent-Seeking Wind & Solar Scammers Stealing From Taxpayers
Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
For almost 40 years, wind and solar proponents have been telling us that the subsidies they rely on are only temporary. Which most understood to mean a few years, at most. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that wind power would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end … Continue reading Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
Wind Power Subsidies Keep Rising But Total Wind Power Output Keeps Falling
The adage that ‘what goes up must come down’ doesn’t hold with wind power subsidies. And the idea that increasing those subsidies will naturally and inevitably result in more wind power output doesn’t hold water, either. We’re not talking about the daily - and day’s long - collapses in wind power output, but the total … Continue reading Wind Power Subsidies Keep Rising But Total Wind Power Output Keeps Falling
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
Harnessing energy was the secret of success for every first world economy. Destroying the systems that delivered it will be the reason for their demise and ultimate failure. The notion that wind and solar can deliver the kind of power upon which those economies were built is nothing more than a grand delusion, driven by … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
The only thing scalable about wind and solar is the subsidies gouged from power consumers and/or taxpayers. While rent seekers can plant turbines and scatter solar panels from horizon to horizon, they can’t make the sun shine or the wind blow. Accordingly, sunset and/or calm weather makes the whole thing utterly pointless, at any scale. … Continue reading US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
No Care & No Responsibility: Massive Subsidies Only Reason Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Exist
Sun’s up, wind’s blowing and wind and solar power is flowing. Wind drops, Sun sets and you’re on your own. The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you’re left freezing in the dark. Your power supply is somebody else’s problem. In this three-part essay, Edward A Reid Jr targets the unhealthy relationship … Continue reading No Care & No Responsibility: Massive Subsidies Only Reason Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Exist
Transition to Poverty: If Wind and Solar Get Any Cheaper, We’ll All Go Broke
The grand wind and solar 'transition' guarantees households and businesses get to suffer crushing power bills. Or, in cases where the massive subsidies to wind and solar power outfits are collected from taxpayers, rather than from power consumers through their power bills, those bills may be cheaper as a result. But the buck still stops … Continue reading Transition to Poverty: If Wind and Solar Get Any Cheaper, We’ll All Go Broke
