The wind industry hates Donald J Trump with a passion and the feeling is mutual. Never in the field of rent-seeker conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. Smashing the myth upon which the whole scam is predicated, and then smashing wind power outfits, one by one, Trump has done more … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 17 August 2025

Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land
Whether it’s pristine ancient forests or prime agricultural land, wind and solar outfits will destroy it in a heartbeat. If left to the cynical rent-seeking class, there won’t be an inch of the planet worth saving, after they have carpeted it with millions of acres of part-time power producing panels and speared millions of these … Continue reading Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land
Britain’s Solar ‘Industry’ Outraged About Brewing Farmland Panel Ban
Delivering electricity less than 25% of the time, without massive subsidies we wouldn’t even be talking about solar power. By far and away the most expensive way of electricity generation there is - and utterly useless from sunset to sunrise - there is no argument in favour of connecting solar panels to an integrated power … Continue reading Britain’s Solar ‘Industry’ Outraged About Brewing Farmland Panel Ban
Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland
Australia’s prime agricultural land is being carpeted with endless seas of solar panels and thousands of these things are being speared everywhere the panels can’t go. Dilute and diffuse, wind and solar require a staggering amount of space, and way more than their occasional, weather (and/or sunshine) dependent power generation can ever hope to justify. … Continue reading Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland
Renewables Roadblock: Wind & Solar Transition Meets Real Community Opposition
When ideology is all, reality has a nasty habit of undoing the grandest of plans. So it is with the great wind and solar ‘reset’. The economic storage of intermittent wind and solar is a fantastic pipe dream; the colossal expense attached to mythical mega-batteries means that it will remain so. The minerals required for … Continue reading Renewables Roadblock: Wind & Solar Transition Meets Real Community Opposition
Growing Land War: Real Farmers Fight Back Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Unreliable, intermittent and diffuse, wind and solar are collectively chewing up enormous tracts of once productive farmland. The simple explanation for which is the massive subsidies which wind and solar attract. They can’t compete in the electricity market without subsidies and mandated targets, nor can they compete in the market for land without the same … Continue reading Growing Land War: Real Farmers Fight Back Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Utterly Shameless: Solar Plant Operators Rip-Up & Desecrate Hundreds of American War Graves
Land-hungry, diffuse, intermittent and wholly sunshine-dependent large-scale solar generators exist for one reason: massive subsidies. Devouring whole tracts of countryside, often from horizon to horizon, to produce a trickle of electricity for no more than six hours a day (in the US the average capacity factor for solar is 24.7%), is bad enough. But the … Continue reading Utterly Shameless: Solar Plant Operators Rip-Up & Desecrate Hundreds of American War Graves
How Green Was My Valley: Big Solar’s Big British Land Grab Continues Unabated
To generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity using wind and solar, you need the best part of a continent do it. But, if your ‘continent’ is little more than a postage stamp to begin with, then carpeting the productive and/or prettiest parts of it with an endless sea of solar panels is … Continue reading How Green Was My Valley: Big Solar’s Big British Land Grab Continues Unabated
Why Wind & Solar Are Pointless: ‘Renewables Will Power Us’ Myth, Smashed Again
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. But that’s the premise advanced by wind and sun worshippers and the rent seekers that profit from the greatest subsidy scam in human history. Putting aside their chaotic intermittency, the staggering amount … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Pointless: ‘Renewables Will Power Us’ Myth, Smashed Again
