Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 December 2024
Our weekly roundup has articles smashing the myth that wind, solar plus giant batteries are perfectly designed to power first world economies - with one drawing focus on the disaster that unfolded in Broken Hill, NSW, and another on “demand management”, a policy that involves telling power consumers to stop consuming power because wind and … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 15 December 2024
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024
This week’s roundup leads with South Australia's return to dirty diesel generators. SA is touted as Australia's wind and solar capital, and its quiet effort to increase diesel generation capacity stands as one almighty embarrassing admission of failure. In other news, Peter Dutton (Australia's Federal opposition leader) is channelling Donald J Trump with an announcement … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 8 December 2024
Reality Collides: Constant Blackout Threat Spells Doom For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
A run of calm nights (particularly during very hot or very cold weather) reveals the utter pointlessness of intermittent wind and solar. And, so it is in the land Downunder. Australia’s hard Green-Left Federal government is doing its best to stare down reality, as its grand wind and solar ‘transition’ unravels. The so-called energy ‘policy’ … Continue reading Reality Collides: Constant Blackout Threat Spells Doom For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 December 2024
This week’s roundup kicks off with Australia’s wind and solar driven power supply calamity, when a couple of mildly warm days (30°C) had the NSW Premier demanding householders turn off their air conditioners, pool pumps and other appliances to avoid a complete grid collapse. Third World stuff, to be sure. South Australia, touted as the … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 December 2024
Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts

Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Keep adding wind and solar to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water.

Hard Time: Brits Face Prison For Using Power When the Wind’s Not Blowing
The wind and solar ‘transition’ was always going to end in a dystopian nightmare, but Brits are already living it. Power is routinely rationed whenever the wind drops and, perversely, households are encouraged to use electricity when wind speeds pick up. The simple truth is that Britain has destroyed its reliable and affordable power supply, … Continue reading Hard Time: Brits Face Prison For Using Power When the Wind’s Not Blowing
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts
Dry spells, spell hot summers in Australia, which spell load shedding and mass blackouts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. The summer of 2017/18 was a scorcher. Back then, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy-hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts
Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
The twisted logic of the wind and solar ‘transition’ means the only way of preventing blackouts is to force users to stop using electricity. Australia’s Federal government is paying energy-hungry businesses (using taxpayer’s money, obviously) to stop producing whatever it is that they produce so they do not use electricity. Because that’s the only way … Continue reading Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
