Western Europe’s sad and sorry descent started with delusional claims that wind and solar can power industrial economies, all by themselves. Massively subsidised, delivered only occasional and then on a chaotic basis, their insane cost and inherent unreliability has gutted Germany’s industrial sector and delivered punitive power prices across the Continent. Weakened by an ideology … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 5 April 2026

Hurricane Havoc: Twisters Wipeout Thousands of Solar Panels Across US
Leave intellectual pygmies in charge, and weather-dependent wind and solar is what you get. However, not only does their output depend entirely on the weather and/or where the Sun sits in the sky, wind and solar’s capacity to (occasionally) generate power can be eradicated in a matter of minutes. A few hailstones from the heavens … Continue reading Hurricane Havoc: Twisters Wipeout Thousands of Solar Panels Across US
All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes
Solar panels deliver power for around 6 hours a day, struggle during wet/cloudy weather and a decent hailstorm or hurricane wipes them out completely. Anyone recommending solar power as a solution to our growing need for electrical energy needs their head read. Certain parts of the world suffer regular, violent hailstorms, where hailstones outsize golf … Continue reading All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes
Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Anyone claiming that solar power is a meaningful power source, has never seen a sunset, and they can’t have never seen a hurricane, hailstorm, or snowfall, or witnessed an icy frost. Because each of those planetary and meteorological events destroys either the panels themselves, or their ability to provide power consumers with electricity. In this … Continue reading Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
Solar panels are not the most robust of power generation sources. A blanket of snow and ice readily kills their occasional, sunshine-dependent output. They tend not to appreciate gale-force winds (see above) and hailstones of any substance are usually fatal (see below). A few weeks ago, STT reported on a burst of hot weather in … Continue reading High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
