The subsidised wind and solar chickens are coming home to roost - power prices are rocketing out of control in any jurisdiction attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. Adding mega-batteries only makes matters worse. With the ever-present threat of total blackouts, rent-seekers and their propaganda machines are still attempting to deflect and bury what … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 1 June 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 23 March 2025
Among rent-seeking wind and solar subsidy grifters and their spin masters, desperation is the new black. Donald Trump’s moves the throttle their so-called ‘industries’ on American soil has rattled investors and seen plans for dozens of large-scale wind and solar factories scrapped, around the globe. Which brings us to this week's roundup. Paul Brown gives … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 23 March 2025
Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
Subsidy-soaked wind and solar scammers have never had it so tough: in the USA, Donald Trump is making good on his threat to end the ‘green’ energy fraud, once and for all; and across the globe rural communities have unified in a full-scale revolt against the social, community and environmental destruction wrought by industrial wind … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 9 March 2025
Battery Cost Blowout: No Economic Way of Storing Wind & Solar Power
The impossibility of storing wind and solar power to compensate for sunset and calm weather is pure arithmetic; the claims that it can be done economically, pure delusion. Sure, when they’re not exploding into toxic fireballs, giant lithium-ion batteries can store power generated (from any source) and release it on demand. However, the staggering cost … Continue reading Battery Cost Blowout: No Economic Way of Storing Wind & Solar Power
Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
The results of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes can’t be hidden forever. As wind and solar generating capacity increases, the inevitable consequences are soon revealed: namely, routine power rationing, mass blackouts and crippling power prices. And yet the acolytes continue to maintain that we’re only a few mythical mega-batteries away from an all-wind … Continue reading Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
To call Australia’s wind power output “pathetic” is to flatter it. Turbines with a total capacity of 10,277 MW are spread from Far North Queensland, across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - and all connected to the Eastern Grid. On rare occasions, the combined output reaches around 60% of their total notional … Continue reading Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when households and businesses need it, has absolutely no commercial value. Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Spells R.I.P. For Reliable Power Supplies
Reliance on weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar means the end for reliable and affordable power supplies. Australia’s wind and solar obsession is beginning to bite, with power prices soaring out of control and power rationing the new normal. With a new band of hard-green-left lunatics in charge, things will only get worse. In America, things … Continue reading Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Spells R.I.P. For Reliable Power Supplies
Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
Wind and solar generators happily take credit when the sun’s up and the wind’s blowing, but dodge all criticism when blackouts follow sunset and/or calm weather. The standard trick is to point in every direction - except the obvious - when power rationing (euphemistically called “demand management”) or unplanned power rationing (aka widespread blackouts) follows … Continue reading Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
