The ‘feelgood’ net-zero emissions narrative has been shielding wind and solar scammers from proper scrutiny for years. With that narrative in political tatters, panicked rent seekers are running for cover. The great unwashed are now alive to the staggering cost and pointless benefits (never properly defined) of cutting man-made carbon oxide gas emissions - purportedly … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 November 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 16 March 2025
As the wind and solar scam spirals into oblivion, the USA is pulling out all stops to restore reliable and affordable energy, for all. Reason being that energy isn't just part of the economy: it is the economy. Following that theme, Robert Bryce picks up on a speech given by US Energy Secretary, Chris Wright … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 16 March 2025
Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
The wind industry started out as absurd, and only became more so over time. The turbines became bigger, the blades longer and capacities went from piddling 1.5 MW machines to 18MW monsters - albeit so large they can barely stand up against stiff breezes, let alone a full-blown hurricane. As the blades grew, their habit … Continue reading Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
No Deal: More Panicked Farmers Join Rush to Rip-up Contracts to Host Wind Turbines
Farmers who’ve agreed to have wind turbines on their land are tearing up their contracts, and those thinking about entering such agreements are rejecting the offers made by wind power outfits, out of hand. It’s a MAJOR problem for rent-seekers and their political enablers. And their panic is palpable and hysterical, at once. In one … Continue reading No Deal: More Panicked Farmers Join Rush to Rip-up Contracts to Host Wind Turbines
The Big ‘Renewable’ Energy Lie: Not Cheap, Not Clean, Not Green
Even the proles have worked out that wind and solar aren’t cheap, they aren’t clean and they most certainly aren’t green. Their rocketing power bills are enough evidence to dispose of the ‘cheap’ wind and solar myth. Millions of tonnes of spent solar panels and toxic wind turbine blades being ground up and heading to … Continue reading The Big ‘Renewable’ Energy Lie: Not Cheap, Not Clean, Not Green
Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
The land area destroyed to house a couple of wind turbines (often in pristine forests) compares unfavourably with the area needed to house a single nuclear power plant. See above - the area gouged out of one of Queensland’s (previously untouched) tropical rainforests to allow space for just two of these things - huge strips … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rage Against Communities Saving the Environment
The wind industry’s social licence looks increasingly like a licence to destroy everything in its path, including prosperous rural communities and precious ecosystems. Wiping out huge tracts of pristine forests - habitat to rare and endangered critters of all kinds - and slicing and dicing avian predators, like hawks, falcons and eagles and bats is … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rage Against Communities Saving the Environment
Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Whatever ‘social licence’ the wind industry had evaporated years ago; wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies will do it every time. Sure enough, the usual ‘not in my back yard’ protester often takes the lead in opposition to another aggregation of these monstrosities. However, the arguments these days are broader and more to the … Continue reading Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad
The wind industry’s glory days are long gone: investment has collapsed across Europe, turbine manufacturers are losing $billions and dozens of offshore projects have been scrapped in the last 12 months. Call us a tad cynical, but if you offer a product that can’t be delivered on demand (which, accordingly, has no commercial value) and … Continue reading Dead Man Walking: Global Wind Industry’s Prospects Have Never Looked So Bad
Why Rural Communities Around the Globe Are Rioting Against Wind & Solar Invasion
While the wind and solar ‘industries’ are intent on wrecking rural communities, those communities are intent on fighting back - with all they’ve got. A decade ago, residents could often be heard saying that they were all in favour of renewable energy, but just not in their backyards - sounding like the classic NIMBY, thereby … Continue reading Why Rural Communities Around the Globe Are Rioting Against Wind & Solar Invasion
