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

You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’
Government-mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings – the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King John known … Continue reading You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’
Wilderness Wipeout: Tasmania’s Pristine Environment Threatened By Monster Wind Farm
Tasmania’s rugged North is one of Australia’s natural wonders, but not for much longer if Chinese wind developers have their way. Tasmania’s rare and endangered Wedge Tailed Eagle is already under threat, being slice and diced with impunity by its existing wind farms on the North-West and North-East coasts. Now another monster wind farm is … Continue reading Wilderness Wipeout: Tasmania’s Pristine Environment Threatened By Monster Wind Farm
Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
Pinning its hopes to a wholly weather dependent power source – that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional generation sources – Britain’s energy ‘policy’ was never going to end well. Already faced with an unstable grid and rocketing power prices thanks to its gamble on wind … Continue reading Lessons from the UK & SA – How to Destroy Power Supplies & Economies: Start with Subsidised Wind Power
Freefall: Wind Power Investment Collapses in Europe
In a 'what goes around comes around' kind of way, it's fitting that the great wind power fraud is taking European 'investors' - of the Energreen mold - to the cleaners. The subsidies have run out and, as night follows day, investors are racing to the exits - which brings the greatest Ponzi scheme of … Continue reading Freefall: Wind Power Investment Collapses in Europe
Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Wind Power Fantasy Doubles Power Prices
**** Ontario was, once upon a time, an agricultural and manufacturing power house. Alas, the former pursuit has been smashed by plummeting property values and sonic torture, making thousands of farm homes uninhabitable; the latter endeavour has been demolished by power costs that have risen 108% due to the fantasy of trying to rely on … Continue reading Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Wind Power Fantasy Doubles Power Prices
Spanish Wind Power Outfit – Iberdola – Pockets $2.2 BILLION in Taxpayer Funded Corporate Welfare
Wind and solar power subsidies are not just huge, they're massive and they're designed to be endless. In Australia, its Federal Government drew up the economic suicide pact also known as the Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target 15 years ago. Under the most colossal single industry subsidy scheme in the history of the Commonwealth, power consumers … Continue reading Spanish Wind Power Outfit – Iberdola – Pockets $2.2 BILLION in Taxpayer Funded Corporate Welfare
The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom
**** In their sillier moments, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers pitch the line that their pointless product is not only getting cheaper all the time, but go so far as to claim that wind power is already cheaper than gas and coal-fired power. Risible PR antics aside, the wind industry has always had … Continue reading The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom

UK’s Wind Power Gamble Ends in Power Supply Bankruptcy
Until David Cameron's Conservatives took full control of the UK Parliament, Britain had lumped every last chip on wind power: apparently hoping that a wholly weather dependent power source, that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional (dispatchable) power sources, would come up trumps and lead to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Power Gamble Ends in Power Supply Bankruptcy
