Subsidy-soaked wind and solar scammers have never had it so tough: in the USA, Donald Trump is making good on his threat to end the ‘green’ energy fraud, once and for all; and across the globe rural communities have unified in a full-scale revolt against the social, community and environmental destruction wrought by industrial wind … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025

Totally Risible: Wind Industry Couldn’t Power Australia’s Toasters & Kettles
When the wind stops blowing, wind power stops flowing. It’s that simple. If anyone is looking for proof that wind power is always and everywhere entirely dependent on the weather. Here it is. The graphic above comes from the boys over at Aneroid Energy and it depicts the output from every single wind turbine connected … Continue reading Totally Risible: Wind Industry Couldn’t Power Australia’s Toasters & Kettles
Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
The results of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes can’t be hidden forever. As wind and solar generating capacity increases, the inevitable consequences are soon revealed: namely, routine power rationing, mass blackouts and crippling power prices. And yet the acolytes continue to maintain that we’re only a few mythical mega-batteries away from an all-wind … Continue reading Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
Here’s the news: wind power critically depends upon the wind, without which there ain’t no wind power. Simples. Beyond seven days meteorologists are little more than glorified soothsayers when it comes to predicting the weather. How many times do we see revised forecasts given the day before, when only a week before that, the maximum … Continue reading The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
World’s Woeful Wind Power Output Spells Doom For Renewable Energy Rent Seekers
Don McLean’s American Pie was all about the day the music died; 2021 was all about the year that the wind industry died. Its well-worn claim that wind power is just a heartbeat away from replacing meaningful power sources - such as coal, gas and nuclear - took a battering across the globe last year. … Continue reading World’s Woeful Wind Power Output Spells Doom For Renewable Energy Rent Seekers
Nature’s Revenge: Europe’s Big Calm Reveals Wind Power’s Hopeless Unreliability
Being unable to deliver electricity as and when power consumers demand it means wind power will never be a meaningful power generation source. So much has been revealed by the burst of calm weather that struck Western Europe last month. Call it Mother nature’s revenge. Where the wind power acolyte waffles on about the percentages … Continue reading Nature’s Revenge: Europe’s Big Calm Reveals Wind Power’s Hopeless Unreliability
Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy
It only takes a moment's consideration to understand why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. Sunset is a daily phenomenon and repeated bouts of extended calm weather occur with remarkable regularity. While there’s plenty of lip service paid to the ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition, the reality bites every day. Always clear … Continue reading Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Amount to Serious Power Sources
Calm weather, sunset and the impossibility of economically storing electricity at grid scale, render wind and solar practically useless. For every MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be an equal MW of dispatchable generation capacity somewhere in the system, to allow the grid to function without total collapse. The inherent and chaotic … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Amount to Serious Power Sources
Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Wind power’s proven inability to deliver the goods when it counts has been on show in the last few months. Much to the horror of the wind cult, renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers. Total wind power output collapses in Germany and across America’s midwest, have drawn focus on just how useless … Continue reading Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
