Hype-power: UK’s Woeful Wind Power Performance, More Huff Than Puff

September 28, 2018 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

The biggest lie of our time is that the wind can power an entire economy. Every country that’s ever tried has failed – abysmally. The UK is no exception. No one plans a kite flying excursion weeks in advance, so why how did wind power propagandists manage to sell the fiction that Mother Nature […]

Renewable Energy’s Dirty Dozen: 12 Reasons Why Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Make No Sense

August 28, 2018 by stopthesethings 8 Comments

It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that the world can run on sunshine and breezes. For wind and sun worshippers, disastrous examples like South Australia – where mass blackouts and load shedding have become the new normal – require not just practiced delusion but a form of self-flagellating stoicism, as well. Oh, […]

World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…

August 4, 2018 by stopthesethings 6 Comments

The point, if there was one, of throwing hundreds of $billions in subsidies at wind and solar was to slash emissions of carbon dioxide gas. Taxpayers and power consumers who are on the receiving end of the bill for all this environmental piety would, after almost 20 years, be entitled to ask just how much […]

‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction

July 27, 2018 by stopthesethings 6 Comments

In 2018, it’s easier to find a deluded wind turbine hugger, than an old-fashioned tree hugger. Michael Shellenberger is regarded as one of America’s leading environmental advocates, but his avowed hatred of subsidised, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar puts him at odds with his contemporaries. To the extent that carbon dioxide gas concerns him, […]

Looking for Reasons Why Wind Power Can Never Work? Here’s the Top 21

May 28, 2018 by stopthesethings 8 Comments

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that wind power is the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. All it takes is a little cognitive power and a sense of inquiry. Once people work out that they’ve been conned, they never turn back. In our travels we’ve met plenty who’ve started out […]

‘Saving’ the Planet from CO2 Gas Means Cheap & Reliable Nuclear Power or Nothing

February 24, 2018 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. The fact that politicians in this Country talk about anything but […]

Germany Squanders $Trillions on Subsidised Wind & Solar But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge

December 22, 2017 by stopthesethings 2 Comments

As we are continually reminded, CO2 emissions from fossil-fuelled power generators are all set to incinerate the planet. $Trillions in subsidies have been literally thrown to the sun and the wind, purportedly to kill coal, for good. To all but the most deluded, it’s fairly apparent that utterly weather dependent wind and solar will never […]

Stung: Minnesota Counts the Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind Power

December 5, 2017 by stopthesethings 1 Comment

As 2017 draws to a close, with examples like Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia in mind, it takes a special brand of delusion to still believe that a country can run on sunshine and breezes. The cost of subsidised wind power is staggering, the effects on the grid chaotic. The peaceful and prosperous places […]

‘Green’ energy fails every test Watts Up with That? John Hinderacker 18 October 2017 The sad story of Minnesota’s green energy failure is one that no doubt is being replicated around the country. And one of the ironies of green energy is that it is terrible for the environment. Liberals will tell you that Minnesota […]
