They were sold to you as the elegant, clean saviors of the planet. In reality, they are the monolithic idols of a failed climate cult—inefficient, unreliable, and leaving a trail of environmental destruction and economic ruin in their wake.
The push for wind turbines was never about the environment. It was about executing the largest transfer of wealth to a cabal of politically connected grifters in modern history.
It is a scam of breathtaking audacity.
This thread is the full indictment of the great windmill fraud.
🧵 The environmental hypocrisy they hide is at #3.
As the Trump administration works to restore American energy dominance, we must conduct a political autopsy on the "green" madness of the past regime. Let's start with its most visible symbol: the hideously inefficient and destructive wind turbine.
The wind turbine is the perfect metaphor for the modern Left's ideology: it is performatively virtuous, obscenely expensive, fundamentally unreliable, and leaves a trail of hidden destruction. It is a monument to an elite fantasy paid for by the working class.
The Environmental Fraud, Part 1: The Bird Slaughter. These are not gentle giants. They are 500-foot-tall avian abattoirs. Each year, their spinning blades kill up to a million birds, including majestic, protected species like Bald and Golden Eagles. Environmental groups that sue over a puddle are mysteriously silent about this daily carnage.
The Environmental Fraud, Part 2: The Blade Graveyards. What happens when these "green" blades wear out? They are not recyclable. They are massive, permanent monuments to this failed experiment. They are sawed into pieces and buried in vast landfills—giant graveyards of toxic fiberglass that will never decompose. So much for sustainability.
The Environmental Fraud, Part 3: The Toxic Secret. Each turbine requires a toxic cocktail of materials. The magnets in their generators use tons of rare earth metals like neodymium, the mining of which is an environmental catastrophe, primarily in China. The concrete bases, the size of a small house, leave a permanent scar on the land.
The Environmental Fraud, Part 4: The Offshore Disaster. The push for offshore wind is even worse. It disrupts marine ecosystems, with mounting evidence linking survey activity to whale deaths. It destroys commercial fishing grounds and threatens to turn our beautiful coastlines into industrialized seascapes.
The Economic Scam, Part 1: The Unreliability Crisis. The fundamental flaw: the wind doesn't always blow. Wind power is an intermittent, unreliable energy source that cannot power a modern industrial economy. It requires 100% backup from reliable sources (usually natural gas), making the entire grid more expensive and less stable.
The Economic Scam, Part 2: The Subsidy Racket. The wind industry does not exist in a free market. It is a ward of the state, kept alive by a continuous IV drip of your tax dollars in the form of massive federal subsidies, tax credits, and state-level mandates. It is the definition of corporate welfare.
The Economic Scam, Part 3: Your Skyrocketing Bill. Who pays for all this? You do. The cost of the subsidies, the necessary grid upgrades, and the expensive backup power plants are all passed directly to the consumer in the form of higher electricity bills. Green energy is a regressive tax on the poor and middle class.
The Geopolitical Betrayal, Part 1: Empowering China. The most cynical part of this scam is who it empowers: our chief adversary. The People's Republic of China dominates every aspect of the wind turbine supply chain, from the rare earth metals to the manufacturing of components. The "green transition" was a scheme to make America dependent on China.
The Geopolitical Betrayal, Part 2: The Green Grift. Who gets rich from the subsidy machine? A small cabal of politically connected "green" investment firms, many with deep ties to the previous Democratic administration. They use their political influence to secure public money, then profit from the mandates they helped create.
This is a calculated transfer of wealth. Your tax dollars are taken, given to a politically favored industry that is strategically dependent on China, which then produces an unreliable product that makes your energy bills go up. You are being fleeced from every possible direction.
Thankfully, the era of this self-destructive fantasy is over. The Trump administration has rightly identified these turbines for what they are: a blight on our landscape and a drain on our economy. The focus is back on an "All of the Above" strategy that champions reliable, affordable American energy.
The solution is a return to sanity. End all subsidies. Repeal the mandates. Unleash American oil, natural gas, and next-generation nuclear power. True energy independence and a clean environment are achieved through innovation and abundance, not through scarcity and unreliable medieval technology.
The wind turbine is a monument to the failure of climate alarmism and central planning. It is an idol that demanded the sacrifice of our birds, our landscapes, our economy, and our geopolitical strength. It's time to tear down these false idols and restore American energy dominance.
