Donald J Trump’s address to the UN caused wind and sun cultists' heads to explode around the Globe. In a few short minutes, the US President spelt out the beginning of the end for the greatest economic and environmental fraud, of all time. Brutally targeting the utter pointlessness of massively subsidised wind and solar - … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 28 September 2025

Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 24 November 2024
This week’s roundup includes articles on the obscene and staggering cost of subsidies to wind power outfits born by every taxpayer and power consumer; how power prices are rocketing in every US state that’s backed chaotically intermittent wind and solar; how wind power never makes sense and taking it offshore is positively insane; how Donald Trump’s … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 24 November 2024
Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
For almost 40 years, wind and solar proponents have been telling us that the subsidies they rely on are only temporary. Which most understood to mean a few years, at most. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that wind power would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end … Continue reading Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Talking about an energy transition on a dead calm, cloudy winter’s morning, when wind and solar output amounts to a doughnut, is positively delusional; claiming that wind and solar are the cheapest generation source of all (when wind and solar can’t be hundred any price) is utterly bonkers. The fact that the matter is (and … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Now they’re talking in $trillions, the mere $billions in wind and solar subsidies pocketed so far sounds like chump change. When we’re talking about subsidies to wind and solar, we are including all the thoroughly unnecessary associated costs, like new pumped-hydro schemes; giant lithium-ion batteries; additional fast-start peaking plants (either diesel or gas); and tens … Continue reading Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
That ‘industries’ built on lies, myths and subsidies are in freefall is hardly surprising. Nothing about intermittent wind and solar have never made any sense. Now the markets are starting to cotton on. Governments are refusing to bail out wind power outfits - rejecting their ever-increasing demands for ever-increasing subsidies. The knock-on effect on the … Continue reading Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
Talk’s Cheap: Wind & Solar The Most Expensive Power Sources
The only way wind and solar look cheap is by ignoring every associated cost attached to generating power using sunshine and breezes. For the last 20 years, the wind industry has presented numbers that never add up. Its accounting ‘methods’ include vastly overstating output (revenue) and grossly understating generating costs (including Operations and Maintenance) (expenses); … Continue reading Talk’s Cheap: Wind & Solar The Most Expensive Power Sources
Ireland Squanders €1.3 Billion on Wind Power & Gets World’s Most Expensive Power In Return
Death and taxes are certainties, so is the fact that power prices soon rocket out-of-control, once your power needs depend on the weather. Ireland is no exception. More than €1.3 billion in subsidies has been thrown at wind power outfits in less than a decade, and with little to shown in return - unless, of … Continue reading Ireland Squanders €1.3 Billion on Wind Power & Gets World’s Most Expensive Power In Return
Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
After 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, wind and solar are still being treated like untamable toddlers. The subsidies they begged for in the beginning were meant to help so-called ‘infant’ industries get on their feet. But, even now, the mere mention of reducing subsidies turns them … Continue reading Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
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
