Not So Cheap: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends Britain’s Power Prices Into Orbit

September 12, 2022 by stopthesethings 2 Comments

Britain and Germany are the star players in Europe’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity. Faced with power rationing and crippling power bills, Germans and Brits must be thanking their lucky stars that their governments had the wit and foresight to destroy their coal-fired power plants and give nuclear power the flick. Banning the exploitation of Britain’s […]

Transition to Poverty: Britain Being Crushed By Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession

August 28, 2022 by stopthesethings Leave a Comment

What does the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition look like? Try power-starved Britain, where power prices are out of control, with much, much worse to come. Last October, the average annual energy bill was £1,400 ($2,400). Energy industry analyst Cornwall Insight forecasts that the British price cap will skyrocket and the average annual bill will […]

Oh So ‘Cheap’!: Power Prices Set to Quadruple in Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Britain

August 22, 2022 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

The ultimate cost of renewable energy virtue signalling is truly crippling, wind and solar-obsessed Britain is a case in point. Power prices have doubled over the span of a few months and will quadruple as energy demand spikes again in winter. Attempting to ditch its coal-fired power plants (and converting them to run on wood […]

‘Green’ Energy Fail: Counting the Staggering Cost of Britain’s CO2 Emissions Reduction Policy

January 21, 2019 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

When it comes to reducing carbon dioxide gas, wind power is touted as the perfect panacea – turns out it’s an abject failure on that score, too. Leaving aside arguments about whether CO2 is a toxic pollutant or a naturally occurring beneficial trace gas which plants crave, the primary object of Britain’s effort to power […]

Colossal Cost: UK’s Wind Power Scam Leaves Brits With Rocketing Power Prices

January 16, 2019 by stopthesethings 2 Comments

The cost of Britain’s ‘green’ energy policies is staggering: power prices have surged and the worst is yet to come. Notwithstanding efforts from those in on the greatest scam of all time, the facts can’t be concealed: Britain’s heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power fleet is responsible for power prices increasing at double-digit rates, […]

Hype-power: UK’s Woeful Wind Power Performance, More Huff Than Puff

September 28, 2018 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

The biggest lie of our time is that the wind can power an entire economy. Every country that’s ever tried has failed – abysmally. The UK is no exception. No one plans a kite flying excursion weeks in advance, so why how did wind power propagandists manage to sell the fiction that Mother Nature […]

Subsidised Wind Power: An International Crime Against Common Sense

July 5, 2018 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

Two necessary ingredients of the great wind power fraud are a gullible public and a troupe of pliant politicians. A decade from now – as these things either self-destruct, collapse or quietly rust into oblivion – the MPs that enabled the greatest economic and environmental fraud in history, will not be thanked. Nor will […]

Britain Squanders £7bn a Year on Stone Age Wind Power

May 3, 2018 by stopthesethings 4 Comments

It takes a ‘special’ kind of person to still believe that a country can run itself on sunshine and breezes. Idolatry, zealotry, and good old-fashioned pig ignorance are worn like badges of honour amongst the wind and sun cult. Claims range from the ‘wind is always blowing somewhere’, ‘wind power is cheaper than coal’, and […]
