Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 30 March 2025

As the USA returns to energy sanity - driven by Donald Trump’s determination to destroy the wind industry and embrace, coal, gas and nuclear - any country still obsessed with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar looks positively bonkers. Australia sits firmly in that category. However, with a Federal election set for 3 … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 30 March 2025

Eagles Dare: China Wins Race to Build World’s Largest Bird Mincing Wind Turbine

Eagles and other avian predators won’t stand a chance when China starts rolling out turbines with 150m long blades, their outer tips travelling at over 400 km an hour, perfect for slicing and dicing any critter within their extensive range. When GE announced plans to build a 12MW monster, the wind cult oohed and aahed, now China has … Continue reading Eagles Dare: China Wins Race to Build World’s Largest Bird Mincing Wind Turbine

Wind Turbine Wipeout: Rare & Endangered Eagles’ Days Are Numbered

The wind industry is battling on all fronts, including mounting community outrage, driven not least by its wanton slaughter of eagles, whales and other magnificent creatures. The outer tips of 60m wind turbine blades travelling at over 350kph make short work of avian predators, such as hawks, kites, falcons and eagles, including the rare and … Continue reading Wind Turbine Wipeout: Rare & Endangered Eagles’ Days Are Numbered

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’

Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power

Spreading millions of solar panels and spearing thousands of wind turbines far and wide doesn’t make sense, at any level. Intermittent and diffuse energy sources do not represent progress in the state of human affairs; that was the way of the world pre-Industrial Revolution - science, enterprise and engineering made all that a part of … Continue reading Enviro-Imposters: Why There’s Nothing Green About Intermittent Wind & Solar Power

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

Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter

The wind industry’s mass slaughter of birds and bats is well-known, but the avian carnage caused by solar really rates a mention. Notwithstanding efforts by the wind industry and its pet environmental consultants to conceal the scale of the havoc caused by 60m blades with their outer tips travelling at 350kph, anyone vaguely interested is … Continue reading Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter

Senseless Seagull Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Britain’s Seabirds

Wherever the wind industry plies it subsidy-soaked trade, there’s a wave of avian carnage, and offshore is no exception. While Greta & Co fret about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are under threat, including … Continue reading Senseless Seagull Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry Wiping Out Britain’s Seabirds

Forgive Them Not: No Excuse For Wind Industry’s Pointless Bird & Bat Slaughter

The utter pointlessness of the wind industry’s annual bird and bat slaughter is well-known to followers of this site. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value and when that purportedly ‘green’ power source slices and dices apex predators like salad onions, it’s hard to think of it as … Continue reading Forgive Them Not: No Excuse For Wind Industry’s Pointless Bird & Bat Slaughter

Spain’s Wind Industry Slaughters Thousands of Endangered Birds With Impunity

The wind industry is all about getting away with it. Whether it’s slaughtering millions of birds and bats, or terrorising neighbours, wind power outfits pride themselves on avoiding liability to all and sundry. Over the last 20 years, Spain has been overrun with these things, including the pretty principality of Asturias on its northwest coast. … Continue reading Spain’s Wind Industry Slaughters Thousands of Endangered Birds With Impunity
