Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies

March 11, 2023 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

Never stand between rent seekers and a fat pile of taxpayers’ money. The wind and solar industries were built on lies and myth, but they can only survive when there’s a steady stream of massive and endless subsidies. Cut the subsidies and rent seekers disappear in a heartbeat. BP was once the head of the […]

Highland Heist: During 2020 Scots Paid Wind Power Outfits £235,000,000 To NOT Produce Power

January 26, 2021 by stopthesethings 4 Comments

Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind power is costing the normally parsimonious Scots a veritable fortune, even when their wind turbines aren’t producing so much as a spark. There aren’t many businesses where a major source of revenue is being paid to NOT produce what it is that your business is meant to produce. STT […]

Scots Suffer Crippling Power Bills, While Wind Industry Pocket £Billions in Record Subsidies

November 21, 2020 by stopthesethings 5 Comments

Scotland’s wind power scam is positively criminal: foreign-owned wind power outfits have pocket tens of £billions in subsidies; working-class Scots struggle to pay crippling power bills – plenty of them have no hope of powering their homes ever again. A further obscenity is the fact that wind farms in Scotland are routinely paid hundreds […]

Money For Nothing: Scotland’s Wind Farms Earn More Revenue When They’re Turned Off!!

February 15, 2020 by stopthesethings 6 Comments

The fact that Scotland’s wind farms have pocketed £650m for not generating power has attracted more than just a little attention. STT has run several stories over the last few months about wind power outfits being paid very handsomely to NOT generate electricity. Perhaps it’s the sense of outrage that comes with knowing a group […]

Cash Cow: UK Wind Farms Paid £650,000,000 in ‘Constraint Payments’ To NOT Produce Power

February 7, 2020 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

In the history of commerce, there’s never been a financial scam that comes anywhere near rivalling subsidised wind power. In the past, sharp, entrepreneurial types have made plenty of easy money from ‘selling’ the London Bridge and the Eiffel Tower to unwitting dupes. But scamming fools with too good to be true offers is nothing […]

Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power

January 23, 2020 by stopthesethings 11 Comments

Once upon a time, electricity had a value defined by demand, not by the weather. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has absolutely no commercial value. Which brings us to weather-dependent wind power; generated in chaotic, random intervals, it’s a case of either feast or famine. But businesses and households don’t […]
