Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 18 January 2026

When ideologues told us that wind and solar would ‘set the world on fire’, they should have been taken literally. When these things aren’t imploding in 300 tonne whirling conflagrations, the mega-batteries that are supposed to ‘back them up’ are secretly plotting their own toxic and exciting, spontaneous combustion events. Which brings us to this … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 18 January 2026

Graft & Grift: How the Climate Industrial Complex Uses ‘Perceptionware’ to Hoodwink the Masses

Acting as the spearhead for rent-seeking wind and solar outfits, the climate cult rants and raves about the need for ‘immediate climate action.’ All the while tearing around the world in private jets, floating the 7 seas and luxury liners and otherwise dining out at our expense. Sure, hypocrisy comes in many shades. But, like … Continue reading Graft & Grift: How the Climate Industrial Complex Uses ‘Perceptionware’ to Hoodwink the Masses

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure

Once ideologues replaced engineers, reliable and affordable electricity supplies were doomed. It began 20 years ago, with massive subsidies for the occasional production of electricity using wind turbines and solar panels. There was no shortage of perfectly reliable electricity at the time. Back then, electricity was not only reliably delivered on demand, it was cheap. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure

Energy Illiterate Halfwits Responsible For Subsidised Wind & Solar Death Spiral

To call it ‘energy policy’ is to flatter it. Attempting to run first world economies on part-time power is not just delusional, it is criminal. Unfortunately, those responsible for the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time can only be brought to justice at the ballot box. In Australia, a group of energy illiterate … Continue reading Energy Illiterate Halfwits Responsible For Subsidised Wind & Solar Death Spiral

Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels

European states have taken to rejecting the much heralded all wind and sun powered future, en masse. The Swedes are only the latest to join a group more concerned about their citizen's welfare than … Continue reading Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels

War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers

The obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has few winners and plenty of losers. The latter include the householders and businesses being crushed by power price increases of a magnitude that few of them can afford, and none of them expected (having been consistently lied to by the politicos and MSM … Continue reading War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers

You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’

Government-mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings – the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King John known … Continue reading You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’

Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation

Renewable energy rent seekers and the wind and sun cult hate nuclear power because it works, 24 x 365, whatever the weather. It doesn’t need batteries and it doesn’t need backup. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will never amount to meaningful power sources - ever. No amount of finessing the facts can change … Continue reading Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation

Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck

Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers - using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that … Continue reading Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck

What’s dressed up as “progress” these days increasingly looks and sounds like a drift back to our Dark Age of misery, poverty and ignorance. Anyone who still thinks wind turbines and solar panels equate with Earthly salvation, is more than just a little confused. But that’s the very point and purpose of those pushing the … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Unravels As Reality Grips Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
