As the wind and solar scam spirals into oblivion, the USA is pulling out all stops to restore reliable and affordable energy, for all. Reason being that energy isn't just part of the economy: it is the economy. Following that theme, Robert Bryce picks up on a speech given by US Energy Secretary, Chris Wright … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 16 March 2025

UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All
By December 2019, British wind power outfits had already collected over £650,000,000 in “constraint payments” for doing nothing at all; the cost to power consumers was almost £1 billion over the last five years and that figure is expected to soar. By 2030, wind power outfits across the UK (principally in Scotland) are predicted to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All
Too Cool For School: Frozen Wind Turbines Being ‘Warmed’ Up Using Diesel Powered Generators
Wind power is a fickle critter: wind too slow (no power); wind too fast (no power); wind turbine frozen solid (again, no power). The habit of freezing up during cold spells is just another reason why wind power will never amount to a meaningful power source, not now, not ever. Sure, there are ‘solutions’ when … Continue reading Too Cool For School: Frozen Wind Turbines Being ‘Warmed’ Up Using Diesel Powered Generators
Quality Fail: Wind Power Output During COP26 Embarrasses Climate Industrial Complex
The climate grifters who descended on Glasgow to tout the purported benefits of wind power were done in by the weather, as wind power output collapsed for weeks across Europe in the lead up to COP26. During most of September and into October, Europe’s wind farms were the victims of the Big Calm, when the … Continue reading Quality Fail: Wind Power Output During COP26 Embarrasses Climate Industrial Complex
Highland Heist: During 2020 Scots Paid Wind Power Outfits £235,000,000 To NOT Produce Power
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind power is costing the normally parsimonious Scots a veritable fortune, even when their wind turbines aren’t producing so much as a spark. There aren’t many businesses where a major source of revenue is being paid to NOT produce what it is that your business is meant to produce. STT … Continue reading Highland Heist: During 2020 Scots Paid Wind Power Outfits £235,000,000 To NOT Produce Power
Daylight Robbery: UK Wind Farms Paid £9.3million To Shut Down Their Turbines For A Single Day
In the history of commerce, there’s never been a financial scam that comes anywhere near rivalling subsidised wind power. In the past, sharp, entrepreneurial types have made plenty of easy money from ‘selling’ the London Bridge and the Eiffel Tower to unwitting dupes. But scamming fools with too good to be true offers is nothing … Continue reading Daylight Robbery: UK Wind Farms Paid £9.3million To Shut Down Their Turbines For A Single Day
Post Modern Power: Scots Face Whopping Bill For Government’s Wind Power Obsession
Scotland’s energy policy was hijacked by lunatics and the canny Scot, renowned for their parsimony, is paying a very heavy price, indeed. The subsidies paid to wind power outfits have been colossal; and all that state-mandated largess is being tacked onto Scottish power bills and/or picked up by taxpayers, south of the border. One of … Continue reading Post Modern Power: Scots Face Whopping Bill For Government’s Wind Power Obsession
Money For Nothing: Scotland’s Wind Farms Earn More Revenue When They’re Turned Off!!
The fact that Scotland’s wind farms have pocketed £650m for not generating power has attracted more than just a little attention. STT has run several stories over the last few months about wind power outfits being paid very handsomely to NOT generate electricity. Perhaps it’s the sense of outrage that comes with knowing a group … Continue reading Money For Nothing: Scotland’s Wind Farms Earn More Revenue When They’re Turned Off!!

Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Once upon a time, electricity had a value defined by demand, not by the weather. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has absolutely no commercial value. Which brings us to weather-dependent wind power; generated in chaotic, random intervals, it’s a case of either feast or famine. But businesses and households don’t … Continue reading Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
