Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 30 March 2025

As the USA returns to energy sanity - driven by Donald Trump’s determination to destroy the wind industry and embrace, coal, gas and nuclear - any country still obsessed with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar looks positively bonkers. Australia sits firmly in that category. However, with a Federal election set for 3 … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 30 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

Private Property: Wind & Solar Outfits Have No Right to Destroy Your Community

That hard-working farmers and rural folk reject the ‘opportunity’ to be overrun by giant industrial wind turbines and endless seas of solar panels is no surprise. Why would anyone in their senses welcome the single most destructive force into their communities: subsidised wind and solar. Peaceful, prosperous and productive farming communities worked out long ago … Continue reading Private Property: Wind & Solar Outfits Have No Right to Destroy Your Community

Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive

Here’s everything you wanted to know about offshore wind power, and it’s all bad. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. Then there’s the mounting and irreparable environmental harm - ecologically destructive and deadly to marine mammals, as well as fishing … Continue reading Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive

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

Enraged Eco-Fascists Plan to Crush All Opposition to Wind & Solar Rollout

Already condescending and dictatorial, the bureaucracy pushing wind and large-scale and scale solar has gone full fascist. The class that lead the charge for crony capitalists treat rural communities as roadkill, which is why those communities are fighting back, for all they’re worth. Rural and regional Australia is very eager to support Peter Dutton’s policy … Continue reading Enraged Eco-Fascists Plan to Crush All Opposition to Wind & Solar Rollout

Perfectly Justified: Furious Communities Reject Wind & Solar Rollout

The wind and solar industries’ so-called ‘social licence’ evaporated, years ago. Now, rural communities are on the war path. These days, they’re better armed and better equipped to take on rent-seeking carpetbaggers who couldn’t care less about destroying their peaceful and prosperous communities. Thanks to sites like this one, community defenders can spot the lies … Continue reading Perfectly Justified: Furious Communities Reject Wind & Solar Rollout

Wind & Solar Scammers’ Propaganda Pitch Attempts to Bury Community Opposition

The wind and solar scam has always benefited from the MSM’s gooey-eyed love of ‘renewable energy’, as they parrot it. Most hacks and commentators are nothing more than propagandists. And they have been at it for more than 20 years, which means it takes some effort to peel away the lies, myths and hyperbole and … Continue reading Wind & Solar Scammers’ Propaganda Pitch Attempts to Bury Community Opposition

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
