The ‘feelgood’ net-zero emissions narrative has been shielding wind and solar scammers from proper scrutiny for years. With that narrative in political tatters, panicked rent seekers are running for cover. The great unwashed are now alive to the staggering cost and pointless benefits (never properly defined) of cutting man-made carbon oxide gas emissions - purportedly … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 2 November 2025

Dig This: Miners Can’t Keep Up With Wind Industry’s Insatiable Mineral Demands
The wind industry’s insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources has no apparent limit. Inside every giant industrial wind turbine, there’s a bevy of rare minerals which are fast becoming rarer. Then there are more mundane minerals like iron ore (used to make steel) and copper, critical to their generators, internal cabling and wiring, … Continue reading Dig This: Miners Can’t Keep Up With Wind Industry’s Insatiable Mineral Demands
Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Incapable of delivering power as and when we need it, wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources. But, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they are first rate. Wind turbines and solar panels devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Their insatiable mineral demand (and … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
A mixture of wishful thinking and childish pipedreams, there’s nothing inevitable about the so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar - Sunset remains a fixed feature of daily life, as does stubbornly calm weather. But the acolyte and rent seeker would have us believe that these natural phenomena are either trivial obstacles to be overcome - … Continue reading Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
Renewables Generated Demand For Rare Earths Generating Toxic & Lasting Legacy
Sure, China profits from the great wind and solar scam, but it comes with a toxic legacy caused its rare earth processors that make it all possible. Every wind turbine, every all-EV and every solar panel critically depends upon a myriad of so-called ‘rare earths’. The minerals in question have become ‘rare’, of late, as … Continue reading Renewables Generated Demand For Rare Earths Generating Toxic & Lasting Legacy
Environment Wreckers: Wind & Solar Chewing Up World’s Resources At Astonishing Rate
Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they blitz the field. At the heart of every Electric Vehicle, solar panel and wind turbine there’s … Continue reading Environment Wreckers: Wind & Solar Chewing Up World’s Resources At Astonishing Rate
