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 Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide
Germany’s energy ‘policy’ reads like a national suicide pact, one that’s delivered a perfectly predictable power pricing and supply catastrophe. For the crippling prices and routine rationing that’s followed, Germans can thank their purported leaders and their unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, German households and businesses … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide
Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
That the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours is the kind of barebones fact the wind and sun cult absolutely hate. The French set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over … Continue reading Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
Europe’s Wind & Solar Dependent States Scramble To Secure Reliable Supplies
Every country in Europe that hitched its hopes to sunshine and breezes is now in a mad scramble to secure reliable power supplies, before winter starts to bite and demand soars. Watching the debacle playing out across Europe, is a little like the old party game of musical chairs. Every time the music stops at … Continue reading Europe’s Wind & Solar Dependent States Scramble To Secure Reliable Supplies
Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Rocketing power prices is one inevitable consequence of the so-called ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. Germans know it, so do Californians, South Australians and Danes. Brits are learning fast, too. Of course, the propaganda units that run cover for renewable energy rent seekers pretend otherwise. Francis Menton wades through their dross to reveal what Europe’s … Continue reading Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Unreliable Wind & Solar Leave Power-Starved Europeans Vulnerable During Big Freeze
The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters – getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. A cohort of Americans left powerless during the winter storm that struck in February 2021, has already had a taste of their wind and solar ‘powered’ future, and didn’t take kindly … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Leave Power-Starved Europeans Vulnerable During Big Freeze
Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Vlad Putin is being accused by pundits as the only reason why Europe's power prices are spiralling out of control. Not so. Sure, his grip on oil and gas supplies to Europe has put the squeeze on, particularly in Germany, but its so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ - was in serious strife … Continue reading Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession
As Germans and Brits stock up on woollen blankets and candles, the world has a chance to avoid the perfectly avoidable. In both cases, an obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has them scrambling for reliable energy - as if thousands of lives depend on it - which they literally do. … Continue reading Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession
