The offshore wind industry has as much chance of recovering as the dodo and the woolly mammoth. Donald Trump’s obliteration of America’s offshore wind industry is gathering pace. And with dozens of projects worth $billions in capital expenditure being quietly scrapped, offshore wind construction outfits and turbine manufacturers face financial annihilation. Which brings us to … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 12 October 2025

Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
As in life, government policy is about trade-offs, which usually means plumping for the good rather than the perfect. However, in the de-industrialising West, energy policy is all about rejecting the good in favour of the unworkable. The notion that weather-dependent wind, and weather and sunshine-dependent solar (with or without pumped hydro or mythical mega-batteries) … Continue reading Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
Zero Sum Game: Industrial Wind & Solar Destroying the Environment to ‘Save the Planet’
Environmentalists were once known as ‘tree huggers’. Now, a new ‘green’ cult clear-fells them to make way for hundreds of wind turbines or seas of solar panels. Germany’s Black Forest has been overrun, with chainsaws, bulldozers and blazing torches paving the way for our so-called ‘green’ energy transition. And hundreds of ancient oaks in its thousand-year-old Fairytale … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Industrial Wind & Solar Destroying the Environment to ‘Save the Planet’
Not So Cheap: You’re Paying Colossal Cost Of Climate Cult’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Their self-inflated 'virtue' has a price, and you’re paying it, every red cent of it. That last jaw-dropping power bill has their fingerprints all over it. So do the occasions when thousands are left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark; when cash-strapped businesses are forced to sack staff to cut their overheads so they … Continue reading Not So Cheap: You’re Paying Colossal Cost Of Climate Cult’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Beautiful One Day, Powerless The Next: QLD Premier Plugs Unhinged Wind & Solar Rollout
Thanks to suicidal renewable energy policies, Australian power prices are amongst the highest in the world. The mandated targets and massive subsidies for intermittent wind and solar, central to those policies, are wrecking the ability of coal-fired generators to remain profitable, which was precisely what they were designed to do. The imminent closure of more … Continue reading Beautiful One Day, Powerless The Next: QLD Premier Plugs Unhinged Wind & Solar Rollout
Totally Rotten: Dodgy Government Deal Exposes Grand-Scale Wind Industry Corruption
The wind industry sets the benchmark for systemic government corruption; backslapping, gladhanding and bottomless bags of cash are just the beginning. And, when it comes to bent corporate/government dealings no Australian State does it better than Queensland. Whether it’s the constant sunshine or something in the water, who knows? But there is absolutely no contest … Continue reading Totally Rotten: Dodgy Government Deal Exposes Grand-Scale Wind Industry Corruption
Blame Games: Public Being Played for Fools About Surging Power Prices by Wind & Solar Lobby
‘Support’ for subsidised wind and solar exists because Joe Public has absolutely no idea how power is generated or what it actually costs. In that respect, you’ve got to hand it to renewable energy rent seekers and their various propaganda wings: they’ve done a sterling job in taking a series of lies and myths and … Continue reading Blame Games: Public Being Played for Fools About Surging Power Prices by Wind & Solar Lobby
