🚨 The Green Energy Illusion 🚨

Solar panels are being sold as “progress.”

In reality, they’re poisoning farmland, exploiting child & slave labor, and destroying America’s food security.

What's green about that???

Here’s the truth they don’t want you to hear: 🧵

2/ Italy just banned solar panels on farmland. Why?

Because the panels don’t “support farming.”
They replace farming.

Food production vanishes.
Local communities are left weaker.

And “green” profiteers cash in.

3/ I’ve seen it firsthand in Texas.

Perfectly good farmland is being covered with metal & glass.

Not sheep under panels. Not regenerative grazing.
Just heat islands, chemical drift, and poisoned ponds.

This isn’t progress. It’s regression.

4/ Worse: solar farms spray chemical dust suppressants during construction.

❌ Magnesium chloride
❌ Calcium chloride

These leach into water & soil, killing fish, plants, and livestock.

Families can’t even let cattle drink from their own ponds.

5/ And don’t be fooled by the supply chain.

The “clean” panels come from:
🧒 Child miners in Congo
⚒️ Forced labor in China
☠️ Toxic lithium extraction

If your “green energy” relies on child slaves, is it really clean?
