The offshore wind industry has as much chance of recovering as the dodo and the woolly mammoth. Donald Trump’s obliteration of America’s offshore wind industry is gathering pace. And with dozens of projects worth $billions in capital expenditure being quietly scrapped, offshore wind construction outfits and turbine manufacturers face financial annihilation. Which brings us to … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 October 2025

Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Here’s everything you wanted to know about offshore wind power, and it’s all bad. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. Then there’s the mounting and irreparable environmental harm - ecologically destructive and deadly to marine mammals, as well as fishing … Continue reading Total Disaster: Why Offshore Wind Power Is So Costly & Environmentally Destructive
Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Spells Inevitable Environmental Disaster
Spearing thousands of wind turbines into rural communities and carpeting them with endless seas of solar panels is only just the beginning. To connect those hopelessly intermittent power sources to market requires thousands of (otherwise unnecessary) kilometres of additional transmission lines. All of that environmental destruction could have readily been avoided had Australia simply maintained … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Spells Inevitable Environmental Disaster
No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy
Logic and reason don’t register with the wind and sun cult, nor does empathy or compassion. Happy to wreck your community by carpeting it with an endless sea of solar panels and spearing hundreds of bird-munching monsters into your backyard, it’s all care and no responsibility for these characters. Overlooking the real environmental destruction caused … Continue reading No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy
Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Industrial scale wind and solar are world leaders when it comes to wrecking communities and destroying the environment. Heavily subsidized, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human … Continue reading Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Never-‘Green’: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Creates Environment For Total Ecological Disaster
Believing that industrial wind power and solar panels are destined to improve our environment requires high-level cognitive dissonance. It demands that the true believer ignores the wholesale environmental destruction required to mine and process the minerals in rare earths needed for turbines and panels, not to mention the mega-batteries are supposed to lovingly store the … Continue reading Never-‘Green’: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Creates Environment For Total Ecological Disaster
Court Out: Judge Finds Gas-Fired Power Better For Environment Than Wind & Solar
All care and no responsibility, the wind and solar advocate is quick to ignore every environmental downside that comes with wind turbines and solar panels. However, the Minnesota Court of Appeals wasn’t ready to accept the argument that wind and solar are as gentle on the environment as the sunshine and breezes that occasionally power … Continue reading Court Out: Judge Finds Gas-Fired Power Better For Environment Than Wind & Solar
It Just Ain’t Green: Endless Environmental Havoc Caused By Industrial Wind & Solar Power
The true environmental and social cost of intermittent wind and solar is simply staggering. Millions of solar panels are already being dumped in landfill, and millions of nonrecyclable wind turbine blades are joining them; altogether creating a toxic legacy the generation who blindly championed so-called ‘green’ energy. However, long before the panels and blades get … Continue reading It Just Ain’t Green: Endless Environmental Havoc Caused By Industrial Wind & Solar Power
Inconvenient Truths: Spanish Solar Firm Slaughters 500 Native Deer to Make Way for Panels
The modern ‘green’ worships wind turbines and solar panels in the belief that they’re literally saving the planet, merrily ignoring the wave of environmental destruction wrought by their beloveds. Solar panels are pitched as the paragon of ‘green’ energy, silently caressing the sun’s rays to give off an occasional burst of power that someone, somewhere … Continue reading Inconvenient Truths: Spanish Solar Firm Slaughters 500 Native Deer to Make Way for Panels
Slash & Burn: Environmentalists Start Counting Destructive Costs of Wind & Solar
Mike Moore’s Planet of The Humans revealed the wholesale environmental destruction caused by wind and solar; the climate cult naturally hated it. The scale of the environmental havoc caused giant wind and solar farms is out of all proportion to the economic benefits they provide; if any. Apart from the subsidies these so-called ‘industries’ attract, STT can’t think … Continue reading Slash & Burn: Environmentalists Start Counting Destructive Costs of Wind & Solar
