Wind and solar industry rent-seekers who shackled their crony-capitalist futures to the net-zero CO2 emissions scam are watching their dreams unravel and turn to bitter nightmare. The USA was once a very profitable playground for these scammers. Then, along came Donald J Trump, who continues to rain on their parade. And plenty of other countries … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 10 August 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 June 2025
The subsidised wind and solar chickens are coming home to roost - power prices are rocketing out of control in any jurisdiction attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. Adding mega-batteries only makes matters worse. With the ever-present threat of total blackouts, rent-seekers and their propaganda machines are still attempting to deflect and bury what … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 June 2025
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
Subsidy-soaked wind and solar scammers have never had it so tough: in the USA, Donald Trump is making good on his threat to end the ‘green’ energy fraud, once and for all; and across the globe rural communities have unified in a full-scale revolt against the social, community and environmental destruction wrought by industrial wind … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
Sunset & Calm Weather Reveal Wind and Solar’s Inherent & Fatal Flaw
If a 9-year-old proposed wind and solar as a generation system, you’d give her a gold star but tell her to do better next time. You’d go on to explain that electricity is needed around-the-clock, irrespective of the weather, and that households and businesses want to operate without interruption. Your tutorial on energy supply and … Continue reading Sunset & Calm Weather Reveal Wind and Solar’s Inherent & Fatal Flaw
Battery Cost Blowout: No Economic Way of Storing Wind & Solar Power
The impossibility of storing wind and solar power to compensate for sunset and calm weather is pure arithmetic; the claims that it can be done economically, pure delusion. Sure, when they’re not exploding into toxic fireballs, giant lithium-ion batteries can store power generated (from any source) and release it on demand. However, the staggering cost … Continue reading Battery Cost Blowout: No Economic Way of Storing Wind & Solar Power
Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay
Incapable of increasing their output to match an increase in demand, wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources. No, for every single MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be another MW of reliable, dispatchable power generation somewhere else, connected to the grid, and ready to deliver the goods, … Continue reading Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay
Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
While discovering electricity was part insight, superstition and serendipity, harnessing it for good came down to the laws of physics and sound engineering. Exciting as it might be, feeling your hair stand up during an electrical storm was never going to alter the course of human affairs. Whereas the ability to generate and then deliver … Continue reading Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
Why Wind & Solar Will Never Be Meaningful Power Sources (It’s A Reliability Thing)
In a word association game, you’ll never find ‘reliability’ paired up with ‘wind’ or ‘solar’. Sunset and calm weather are very real things and so is the idea that power consumers want power as and when they need it, not when the sun’s shining at its zenith in a bright blue sky or the wind … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Will Never Be Meaningful Power Sources (It’s A Reliability Thing)
The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
Here’s the news: wind power critically depends upon the wind, without which there ain’t no wind power. Simples. Beyond seven days meteorologists are little more than glorified soothsayers when it comes to predicting the weather. How many times do we see revised forecasts given the day before, when only a week before that, the maximum … Continue reading The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
