As Americans celebrated the 4th of July, Donald J Trump was busy delivering Independence from the grand subsidised wind and solar scam. Their President hates these things, with a passion, and is determined to Make America The Great Energy Powerhouse Again. Unleashing America’s vast hydrocarbon reserves and turning them into productivity and prosperity is part … Continue reading Stop These Things’ Weekly Round Up: 6 July 2025

Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
When your industry depends on mega-myths and hyped-up hubris, get ready for Armageddon-scale disappointment. GE’s rent-seeking wind power harm, Vernova pumped up its planned 18MW Haliade X offshore turbine with the kind of fanfare once reserved for NASA’s efforts to land men on the Moon. These things have a predilection for plummeting to earth with … Continue reading Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
Danger Zone: School Kids Run For Cover As Wind Turbine Spins Out-of-Control & Collapses
Placing industrial wind turbines in schoolyards is hardly the brightest move, given their habit of throwing blades in all directions and collapsing without warning. They've also been known to throw massive chunks of ice through roofs and windows - which is what happened at a Massachusetts Community College back in 2018 - luckily no one … Continue reading Danger Zone: School Kids Run For Cover As Wind Turbine Spins Out-of-Control & Collapses
Component Liberation: Wind Turbines Keep Throwing 8-20 Tonne Blades In All Directions
Like playing Where’s Waldow, wind turbines keep losing blades and their owners apparently have trouble finding them again. Which seems strange, given that these suckers are 45-70m long and weigh between 8 and 20 tonnes. The trade euphemism for blades flying in all directions is “component liberation”, as if that abuse of the English language … Continue reading Component Liberation: Wind Turbines Keep Throwing 8-20 Tonne Blades In All Directions
Safety First: Run For The Hills When 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Hit The Deck
Massive subsidies fuel the wind industry, while self-generated myth and glowing propaganda just grease the wheels. For wind industry spin-kings, one pesky problem that won’t go away is the routine and catastrophic collapses of these 300 tonne whirling wonders. Over the last few years, there have been hundreds of ‘structural failures’ – where either 10-15 tonne blades are … Continue reading Safety First: Run For The Hills When 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Hit The Deck
Fire & Fury: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines A Clear & Present Danger to Life & Limb
Giant industrial wind turbines routinely shed their blades, collapse and/or burst into terrifying fireballs. Contrary to their ‘super-safe’, ‘clean’, ‘green’ image, giant industrial wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal … Continue reading Fire & Fury: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines A Clear & Present Danger to Life & Limb
Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
California’s wind power proponents promised a clean, green future - instead, they’ve delivered a wholesale environmental disaster. In the desert surrounding Ocotillo, locals have been putting up with wind turbines self-immolating, throwing their blades in all directions, leaking and spraying oil and collapsing to the desert floor, for years now (see our post here). Here’s … Continue reading Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
Another One Bites the Dust: 200 Tonne Wind Turbines Continually Beaten By Gravity
Throwing their 12-20 tonne blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best; these things appear to be in a constant battle with gravity. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things … Continue reading Another One Bites the Dust: 200 Tonne Wind Turbines Continually Beaten By Gravity
Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust
Throwing their blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong to former Greens leaders, like Dr … Continue reading Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust
