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

No Go Zones: How The Wind Industry Has Wrecked Rural Communities Everywhere
Abandoning perfectly habitable homes to escape neighbouring industrial wind turbine aggregations is a serious response aimed at avoiding a perpetually miserable future. Being deprived of the opportunity to live, sleep in and otherwise enjoy one’s own home is bad enough. Losing that fundamental proprietary (indeed human) right without compensation is criminal - the perpetrators are … Continue reading No Go Zones: How The Wind Industry Has Wrecked Rural Communities Everywhere
Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities
The wind industry manages to spread poverty and misery wherever it goes. Power prices inevitably rocket - wrecking businesses and whole industries. Adding to the economic suffering, once peaceful and prosperous rural communities are treated as road-kill. Eco-zealots have attempted to ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments under the … Continue reading Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities
How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
Germany has been overrun with 30,000 giant industrial wind turbines and millions of solar panels. Its climate cult reckons that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked so far is all about saving the planet. It’s an argument that holds all the logic of amputating an entire leg to prevent a septic toe from doing any further damage … Continue reading How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
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
Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’
If wind power were delivered at an affordable cost, 24 x 365, the wind industry might just justify the rampant slaughter of millions of birds and bats, including America’s iconic bald and golden eagles. However, given that wind power will only ever be delivered in chaotic fits and spurts all avian carnage is is entirely pointless. Every … Continue reading Pointless Slaughter: Wind Turbines ‘The Perfect Eagle Killing Machines’
World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
The hackneyed claim that wind and solar power are ‘clean’ and ‘green’ doesn’t stand first contact with reality. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent - after a decade or so … Continue reading World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
‘Renewables’ Reality Check: Exposing Filthy Truth About Our Wind & Solar Powered ‘Nirvana’
Pull the curtain back on the wind and solar ‘industries’ and you’re in for a filthy and even toxic surprise. Do a little digging, so to speak, and you’ll soon understand that there is absolutely nothing ‘green’ about wind and solar power or, more precisely, what goes into making 300 tonne wind turbines and their … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Reality Check: Exposing Filthy Truth About Our Wind & Solar Powered ‘Nirvana’
Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine Blades
For a taste of your wind 'powered' future, look no further than the Scottish Highlands - where some 4,500 of these things have polluted a once majestic landscape. Traverse any Highland Glen these days in the hope of finding peace and tranquillity, and you’ll be hard-pressed to avoid Scotland’s hundreds of wind factories and their … Continue reading Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine Blades
