With Donald J Trump telling the wind industry that America’s “not gonna do the wind thing” anymore, the wind industry is practically terminal and faces a looming Armageddon, across the globe. The Great Disruptor has completely rattled the Climate Industrial Complex, with a particular (and perfectly understandable) hatred of the great wind power scam playing … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 March 2025

The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Frozen wind turbines and solar panels buried under piles of snow and ice produce nothing at all, except photo opportunities. When the weather conspires against the ‘unreliables’, somewhere there will be a coal, or gas or diesel powered generator ready to swing into action and prevent you from freezing in the dark. However, if the … Continue reading The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
New Anti-Fossil Fuel Puritans Set New Standard in Blatant Ignorance & Gross Hypocrisy
If it looks and sounds like a deranged cult, it probably is. The latest wheeze is pretending that functional, civil societies can live without coal, oil and gas. It’s perfect nonsense, to be sure, and symptomatic of an uneducated cohort who haven’t the faintest idea about what makes their safe and utterly privileged little lives … Continue reading New Anti-Fossil Fuel Puritans Set New Standard in Blatant Ignorance & Gross Hypocrisy
No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power
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. … Continue reading No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power
Nature’s Gifts: Fossil Fuels Essential For Peaceful, Prosperous, Safe & Healthy Modern Societies
Spend a week gathering dung and twigs to cook meals over a smoky fire in an unlit hut, and you’ll soon be screaming for fossil fuels. A propane-burning stove soon eliminates the smoke, soot and particulates that cause lung disease and more. Cheap and reliable electricity is better still. For development economists, it’s seen as … Continue reading Nature’s Gifts: Fossil Fuels Essential For Peaceful, Prosperous, Safe & Healthy Modern Societies
COP’s Compassion Deficit: Global Elite’s Monstrous Contempt for World’s Poorest
The political class that trumpet global warming as the singular threat to life on earth, clearly hate the poor. Their obsession with subsidising expensive and utterly unreliable wind and solar has already put electrical power out of the reach of the poorest in first world countries, and would, if they could, render it an exclusive … Continue reading COP’s Compassion Deficit: Global Elite’s Monstrous Contempt for World’s Poorest
In-a-Nutshell: New Research Shows Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Power Us
There’s a reason not to support heavily subsidised wind and solar: they simply don’t work as meaningful power sources; they never have and never will. A team of Irish and US-based researchers have produced a comprehensive piece of research explaining just why any dollar spent propping up chaotically intermittent wind and solar with taxpayer’s money, … Continue reading In-a-Nutshell: New Research Shows Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Power Us
A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations – Robert Bryce
More than a billion humans struggle through daily life without access to power at all, and two billion more are limited to a meagre trickle, because in developing countries it’s both unreliable and too expensive for all but the wealthy elites. The wind and solar obsessed in the first world are quite prepared to ensure … Continue reading A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations – Robert Bryce
Wicked Waste: What the $Trillions Squandered on Wind & Solar Could Have Done for the Planet
Economics is all about the cost of opportunity; eg squander $trillions on wind and solar and you lose the chance of really saving the planet. It’s a point picked up by Bjorn Lomborg in this essay published by The Australian. Climate trillions frittered in the wind The Australian Bjorn Lomborg 20 July 2019 This year, … Continue reading Wicked Waste: What the $Trillions Squandered on Wind & Solar Could Have Done for the Planet
Intolerable Cruelty: Rocketing RE Power Costs Punishing Poorest & Most Vulnerable
Energy poverty was once synonymous with dirt-poor Third World countries. Now, thanks to an obsession with subsidised wind and solar, it’s part and parcel of life at the bottom in the First World, too. As winter starts to bite across Australia, the working poor, unemployed and pensioners face an anxious battle between being frozen to … Continue reading Intolerable Cruelty: Rocketing RE Power Costs Punishing Poorest & Most Vulnerable
