As America goes, so goes the entire industrial wind and solar scam. It’s not just that President Donald J Trump hates rent-seekers - and the wind and solar ‘industries’ they inhabit - with a passion, it’s the fact that, by pulling the US out of the Climate Industrial Complex, the once secure and firmly subsidised … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 7 September 2025

Massive Subsidy Cost Blowout Smashes ‘Cheap’ Solar Power Myth
Where solar power generates hyperbole and myth 24 hours a day, it struggles to produce useful electricity for more than 8 hours out of every 24. Depending where the panels are located in relation to the equator, and the angle of the Sun to the earth (think the height of summer vs the depth of … Continue reading Massive Subsidy Cost Blowout Smashes ‘Cheap’ Solar Power Myth
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Talking about an energy transition on a dead calm, cloudy winter’s morning, when wind and solar output amounts to a doughnut, is positively delusional; claiming that wind and solar are the cheapest generation source of all (when wind and solar can’t be hundred any price) is utterly bonkers. The fact that the matter is (and … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
It takes more than just your average leap of logic to contend that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ constitutes rational energy policy. That so-called ‘policy’ means doling out massive subsidies to wind and solar generators for weather-dependent occasional power; then subsidising coal-fired power plants to stay operating to fill the ‘gaps’ caused by sunset … Continue reading Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
Highway Robbery: How Wind & Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World
Every country that’s tapped into subsidised wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices. No ifs, no buts, no exceptions. The cost of the subsidies, both explicit and implicit, constitute a substantial part of the staggering and increasing power bills that households and businesses are being smashed with. Australia is a prime example. Just over … Continue reading Highway Robbery: How Wind & Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World
Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
There is a place for solar power, but it ain’t connected to a power grid. Delivering power for no more than seven hours a day (ordinarily between five and six hours, at best, and less in winter) means sticking solar panels on homes connected to conventional power grids makes no sense at all. As the … Continue reading Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
There would not be wind or solar industries in the absence of massive and endless subsidies. Those subsidies are either tacked on top of rocketing power bills and paid for by households and businesses; or they are provided in the form of tax credits or rebates to the owners and operators of wind turbines and … Continue reading Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
There is no market for power that cannot be delivered on demand. Which is why, in the absence of subsidies, there wouldn’t be a solar panel or wind turbine in sight. Sure, there are remote locations where a solar panel hooked up to a system of batteries and diesel generators make perfect economic sense. Here … Continue reading Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Perplexed as to why your power bill just doubled? Then you’ll be pleased to know the answer is simple: massively subsidised wind and solar. Statisticians get excited when they can prove causation instead of mere correlation, which often depends upon the number of observations of a particular event of interest. With dozens of countries and … Continue reading Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
