With Donald J Trump telling the wind industry that America’s “not gonna do the wind thing” anymore, the wind industry is practically terminal and faces a looming Armageddon, across the globe. The Great Disruptor has completely rattled the Climate Industrial Complex, with a particular (and perfectly understandable) hatred of the great wind power scam playing … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 March 2025

China & India Reject West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession
While Europe, the UK, US and Australia are busily destroying their energy supplies, China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist - providing reliable and cheap power to industry, businesses and households is central to their economic development. There was nothing sustainable about subsidised wind and solar. The sudden and … Continue reading China & India Reject West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession
China’s Transition From Agrarian Poverty Fuelled By Mountains of Coal
China’s rise is built on the same black stuff that dragged Europe out of the dark ages: mountains of coal. While the ever inscrutable regime in China outwardly pays lip service to climate warriors railing against carbon dioxide gas, with a wink and a nod to its own wind and solar schemes, China is building … Continue reading China’s Transition From Agrarian Poverty Fuelled By Mountains of Coal
Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
2021 was the year when the inherent unreliability of wind and solar revealed how everything depends upon reliable and affordable power supplies. The wind and solar ‘industries’ talk a big game; and in their wilder moments even claim to be capable of replacing conventional coal, gas and nuclear generators, altogether. Europe’s months-long wind drought in … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Chasing Net-Zero Targets Without Nuclear Power Amounts to Assisted Economic Suicide
With no defined benefit and undisclosed costs, net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets amount to an assisted economic suicide pact. Countries serious about their economic future - eg China, India, Russia, Brazil and countless others - have no interest in signing up to a scheme that will merely enrich rent-seekers and crony capitalists but guarantee … Continue reading Chasing Net-Zero Targets Without Nuclear Power Amounts to Assisted Economic Suicide
Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Australia’s renewable energy target has subsidised wind and solar to the tune of more than $60 billion, wrecked its grid and driven power prices through the roof. Its manufacturing industry is in tatters (tens of thousands of jobs have disappeared forever); energy-intensive mineral processors, such as aluminium, copper lead and zinc smelters are on life … Continue reading Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Russian Resurgence: Putin’s Grand Plan to Meet Insatiable Demand for Coal in Asia
As the wind and solar cult would have it, ‘coal is dead’ and wind and solar power are the gloating villains that killed it. Well, that’s the meme, anyway. Back on Earth, coal-fired power and the coal industry that fuels it are in very robust health, indeed. Outside of the virtue signalling Western nations that … Continue reading Russian Resurgence: Putin’s Grand Plan to Meet Insatiable Demand for Coal in Asia
Insatiable: Coal-Fired Power Continues its Dominance in Energy Hungry China
The anti-energy/anti-civilisation squad keep predicting the end of coal and coal-fired power. But in China and India the demand for the black stuff - and the cheap and reliable power it delivers - is insatiable, and rising. Notwithstanding a global economic wind down during the Covid-19 outbreak, Chinese demand for coal is about to reach … Continue reading Insatiable: Coal-Fired Power Continues its Dominance in Energy Hungry China
Growth Engines: Coal and Nuclear Powering China’s Economic Rise & Global Ambitions
No country ever got rich without abundant supplies of affordable energy. It’s all very well for the well-fed, smug and pompous to lecture others about the virtues of wind and solar. But when you’re dragging hundreds of millions out of agrarian poverty, virtue signalling runs a very poor second. And, so it is, with China. … Continue reading Growth Engines: Coal and Nuclear Powering China’s Economic Rise & Global Ambitions
Last Man Standing: China Defies Biden’s Climate Crusade Against Coal-Fired Power
The CCP won’t let America’s climate industrial complex interfere with its economic ambitions, key to which is its burgeoning supply of reliable and affordable coal-fired power. Whereas Australia’s suicidal renewable energy obsession has destroyed this country’s competitive advantage, the only interest China has in wind turbines and solar panels is making them and flogging them … Continue reading Last Man Standing: China Defies Biden’s Climate Crusade Against Coal-Fired Power
