In Europe, the wind and solar scam is dying under the weight of its own delusion; in the US it’s being slaughtered by the Trump administration; the developing world is offering firm rejection; and, in Australia, it’s dying a slow but natural death. True enough, the Labor/Green Alliance is going all out to resuscitate it, … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 November 2025

‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam: Renewables Rent-Seekers’ Latest Wealth Transfer Effort
At the end of every massive wind and solar subsidy rainbow, you’ll find a rent-seeking, crony capitalist salivating at the opportunity to cash in, at your expense. They’re called ‘rent-seekers’ for good reason: Rent-seeking is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity. An example … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam: Renewables Rent-Seekers’ Latest Wealth Transfer Effort
Energy Illiterate Halfwits Responsible For Subsidised Wind & Solar Death Spiral
To call it ‘energy policy’ is to flatter it. Attempting to run first world economies on part-time power is not just delusional, it is criminal. Unfortunately, those responsible for the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time can only be brought to justice at the ballot box. In Australia, a group of energy illiterate … Continue reading Energy Illiterate Halfwits Responsible For Subsidised Wind & Solar Death Spiral
Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Whatever ‘social licence’ the wind industry had evaporated years ago; wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies will do it every time. Sure enough, the usual ‘not in my back yard’ protester often takes the lead in opposition to another aggregation of these monstrosities. However, the arguments these days are broader and more to the … Continue reading Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever
Apart from wrecking Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies, there is no Plan A for energy. And there clearly isn’t a Plan B. The Minister in charge of the current fiasco is Chris Bowen. A man who fails to exhibit any sign of intellect, let alone any indication of insight or wisdom. His maniacal mission … Continue reading Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever
Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
As wind and solar capacity increases, it becomes increasingly evident they are hopelessly incapable of delivering power as and when we need it. Back in January 2021, Germany shut down 11 coal-fired power plants (with a total capacity of 4.7 GW). That shutdown lasted eight days, with most of the plants up and running by … Continue reading Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity
Just as Europe reverses course on its wind and solar-powered energy calamity, in Australia, the lunatics in charge of the asylum are determined to double down and destroy what remains of this country’s once reliable and affordable power supplies. With policies directed at wiping reliable coal-fired power plants off the map and rewarding the unreliables … Continue reading Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity
Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
In the mother of all ironies, Europe’s wind and sun cult are complaining about uncooperative weather. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather. Which, in reality, means little or nothing by way of output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of … Continue reading Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
The failure to advance nuclear power in this country to replace coal-fired plants being driven out of business by massive subsidies to wind and solar beggars belief. Everyone with half a brain is alive to the fact that chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are responsible for Australia's power pricing and supply calamity Australian households … Continue reading Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity
Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Since Vladimir Putin's adventure in Ukraine, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity
