Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies

March 11, 2023 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

Never stand between rent seekers and a fat pile of taxpayers’ money. The wind and solar industries were built on lies and myth, but they can only survive when there’s a steady stream of massive and endless subsidies. Cut the subsidies and rent seekers disappear in a heartbeat. BP was once the head of the […]

Nut-Zero: Wind & Solar Cult Promise Shared Stone-Age Misery For All (Bar Them)

February 17, 2023 by stopthesethings 8 Comments

The wind and sun cult reckon that with a few tweaks and twists we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. It is, of course, a collective delusion, bound up in a woolly-headed brand of undergraduate Marxism – the kind enamoured of starry-eyed arts and sociology students, around the globe. On their world […]

Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck

November 13, 2022 by stopthesethings 7 Comments

Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers – using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that […]

No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power

November 6, 2022 by stopthesethings 6 Comments

The misanthropes who glue themselves to roads and berate us about the ‘horrors’ of nuclear, coal and gas-fired power aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, to be sure. Living in a fact and consequence free zone, they’ve never stopped to think for a moment what life would be like without light, heat and power. […]

Mission Impossible: Net-Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets Amount to Economic Suicide

June 13, 2022 by stopthesethings 5 Comments

Costly and chaotic wind and solar are central to so-called ‘net-zero CO2 emissions targets’. The renewables driven energy calamity playing out in Europe, California, Texas, and now Australia can only worsen under the yoke of further efforts to reduce carbon dioxide gas in the electricity generation sector with much more of the same. As the […]

Calculated Destruction: Counting the True Costs of Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Madness

March 30, 2022 by stopthesethings 5 Comments

For renewable energy rent-seekers, the path to net-zero CO2 emissions targets is lined with endless taxpayers’ gold. These boys don’t get out of bed unless the subsidies are huge and guaranteed to last in perpetuity. So, it comes as no surprise that the true cost of net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets is out of […]

Beyond Contempt: Bankers Back Net-Zero & Condemn World’s Poorest to Eternal Poverty

January 22, 2022 by stopthesethings 4 Comments

By refusing to back reliable coal-fired power plants, global elites have condemned the world’s poorest to a life of abject and eternal poverty. The prospect of making $trillions trading in carbon dioxide gas credits – presumably backed by an invisible commodity that will never be delivered – has international bankers salivating. To get there, the money […]

What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You

November 28, 2021 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

There’s a new definition of insanity: trying to satisfy net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets without nuclear power. Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison’s energy policy falls well within that definition, which probably makes this country one of the largest lunatic asylums, on earth. Morrison headed off to Glasgow to join 25,000 virtue signallers, crony capitalists and […]

Goodbye Glasgow – Hello Energy Poverty: The Staggering True Cost of Wind & Solar

November 14, 2021 by stopthesethings 1 Comment

If the Climate Industrial Complex gets its way, kiss goodbye to reliable and affordable energy. The apparent answer all our woes is more of the same: endless subsidies to hopelessly chaotic wind and solar, with even greater subsidies to pie-in-the-sky ‘green’ hydrogen and insanely expensive giant lithium batteries. If you’re not already suffering the consequences […]
