Germans are renowned for their thoroughness, and their obsessional delusion with wind and solar has most thoroughly destroyed their reputation as the world’s premier manufacturing power. No country went harder or faster than Germany, when it came to the massive rollout of massively subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The result has been the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 19 October 2025

Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession
There’s no better example of how heavily subsidised wind and solar will wreck an economy than Germany. Over the last 20 years, the Germans have destroyed their once reliable and affordable power supplies and ‘replaced’ it with chaotically intermittent wind and solar; but without coal-fired power from Poland and nuclear power from France, Germans would … Continue reading Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession
Exorbitant ‘Green’ Energy Costs Responsible For German Industry’s Economic Meltdown
The rocketing power prices caused by Germany’s headlong wind and solar rush are crushing its once thriving industries, including outfits like Mercedes-Benz. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe’s highest power prices; following Putin’s assault on Ukraine, German power prices rocketed, further still, hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. Power rationing is already … Continue reading Exorbitant ‘Green’ Energy Costs Responsible For German Industry’s Economic Meltdown
Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster
Ideological experiments come in all shapes and sizes, but Germany’s wind and solar craze is monumental - a monumental environmental, economic and social disaster, to put it mildly. Suffering routine power rationing, mass blackouts and Europe’s highest power prices is only just the pointy end of what Germany’s boffins called the ‘Energiewende’, which was touted … Continue reading Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster
Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy
As wind and solar capacity increases, Germany’s once thriving economy shrinks. And it’s the sudden and dramatic collapse in German industrial output that’s allowed the wind and sun cult to cry ‘victory’ with a claim - based on a statistical fudge - that Germany obtained 50% of its power from ‘renewable’ sources. Sitting behind the … Continue reading Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy
Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Germans have worked out that relying on the weather for your power has one major problem: “The Weather”. They’ve even coined a term for gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’ - periods of days or weeks when their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels produce next to nothing or nothing at all. … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
