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 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
Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history - from unwitting power consumers and taxpayers to a cabal of rent-seeking crony capitalists. Greed and avarice drives them, aided and abetted by government mandates, diktats and decrees. Built on lies and running on subsidies, … Continue reading Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies
The wind ‘industry’ chews through $billions of other people’s money every day, but it’s never enough. Part of the problem is the metric of their mantra. Telling everyone that wind power ‘is cheap’ and getting cheaper all the time doesn’t gel with ‘forever’ subsidies, renewable targets, mandates and guaranteed prices for power which is delivered … Continue reading Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies
Hide & Seek: Exposing The (Colossal) Hidden Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
The wind industry can never keep its story straight. One minute it’s cheap and competitive, the next its screaming for more subsidies, because it can’t compete. Claims about wind power generation costs falling are immediately undone when rent seekers (once again) pass round the begging bowl and badger governments for more soft loans, renewable energy … Continue reading Hide & Seek: Exposing The (Colossal) Hidden Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
After 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, wind and solar are still being treated like untamable toddlers. The subsidies they begged for in the beginning were meant to help so-called ‘infant’ industries get on their feet. But, even now, the mere mention of reducing subsidies turns them … Continue reading Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
UK’s Power Consumers Pay Staggering Price For Wind Power That’s Never Delivered
Obscene is one way to describe the wind power debacle playing out in Britain; power prices are punitive, in calm weather power rationing is normal. And with a bitter winter looming, the worst is yet to come. That untold £billions have already been squandered on subsidies directed to chaotically intermittent wind and solar is bad … Continue reading UK’s Power Consumers Pay Staggering Price For Wind Power That’s Never Delivered
Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Crushing power costs and power rationing follow wind and solar reliance, like night follows day. Texas is no exception. Bullying power consumers to stop consuming power is par for the course; chiselling taxpayers to cover the exorbitant cost of making up for power shortfalls when the wind stops blowing and/or the sun sets, is grist … Continue reading Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Death and taxes are guaranteed, so are rocketing power prices and power rationing once intermittent wind and solar are added to the grid. Duplicating capital costs to destabilise and undermine a generating system that works, with one that only ‘works’ when the wind is blowing just right and the sun is shining in a cloudless … Continue reading Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
