Tucker Carlson and his team expose the hidden costs of the green energy agenda and the environmental impacts of wind power scam in the latest episode of “Tucker Carlson Originals.”
In the episode, “Blown Away: The People Vs Wind Power,” Carlson and his production crew uncover the human cost of wind energy, traveling across the country to find out how turbines have the capability to decimate wildlife and, in turn, peoples livelihood.
Three months into his presidency, Joe Biden issued permits to foreign companies for a massive 160,000-acre wind farm, known as Vineyard Wind 1, off the coast of Rhode Island.
Rather than tinker with Barack Obama’s scenic view in Martha’s Vineyard, the government decided to place the wind farm 15 miles off the coast.
The area is home to one of the most productive fisheries in the country.
“Ultimately, the wind farms are going to take 50% of my life away,” said Mark Philips, a 43-year fisherman. They’re going to take the whole summer fishery away. And you know… I don’t know what we’ll do after that.”
The turbines, which many believe to be clean and environmentally friendly, do not exclusively cause harm underwater, but also high up in the sky.
According to Carlson, wind turbines kill so many endangered animals, particularly birds, that the Obama and then the Biden administrations issued waivers that exempt wind companies from the Endangered Species Act.
Lisa Linowes, an expert on the impact of industrial-scale wind energy development on the environment and regional grid systems, said that bats are particularly vulnerable to turbines.
With turbine blades capable of moving at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, the pressure vortexes created cause the bats’ lungs to explode midair. Lisa added that bats, which farmers and the ecosystem depend on, are now moving into the territory of extinction.
Golden eagles, bald eagles, and songbirds are also heavily impacted by wind turbine development.
“This is not about the environment. This is not about climate change. This is not about getting us off fossil fuel. This is not about reducing our emissions,” asserted Linowes.
“This is purely about money. That’s why these projects are being built. There’s an enormous amount of money. It’s JP Morgan, it’s Goldman Sachs –- they are heavily involved in expanding wind energy in this country.
In the full episode of “Tucker Carlson Originals’ Blown Away: The People Vs Wind Power,” Carlson takes a deep dive into the human impact of the green energy agenda and how politicians and elites are able to capitalize on impoverished regions of the United States.

Wind power is the cheapest form of energy production (as in newly commissioned). That is why Texas (yes Texas) has more than a third of their total energy consumption coming from wind. Plus it employs over 10 times the jobs of oil and 100 times more jobs than coal for the same energy output.
Just another completely stupid article from a website no one ever visits any more.
Not when the wind doesn’t blow. If so ‘cheap’ why does wind power and solar need billions in taxpayer subsidies? Try investing on the open market for a change and good bye. Seen the vid where this beautiful raptor is tonked by a windmill blade? Sad.
If you are claiming that wind is “cheaper” based on the purported “levelized cost of electricity,” then you are leaving several factors out of the equation. Federal, State & local subsidies for wind projects, preferred treatment in electricity markets and the COST to maintain conventional (thermal) generation as “back-up” for the SEVENTY percent of the time the turbines don’t produce electricity is not included. You add in the massive amounts of steel, concrete, aluminum & rare earth minerals needed to erect a wind turbine, not to mention the bird kills & low frequency noise problems and you are ANYTHING but a GREEN energy source. PLENTY of environmental impacts. Probably one of the best exposes’ on renewable energy and the MISTRUTHS was exposed last year, believe it or not, in Michael Moore’s film “Planet of the Humans.” I’m almost certain you’ll have a hrad time viewing it as the film goes against the prevailing narrative…
BTW. Dana Perrino raises a good point in her commentary. Those carbon fiber turbine resin blades are not recyclable and I think it is “dubious” to claim a high recycle rate on many of the other turbine components as the facts are NEVER challenged by the media. Drive by the Casper, WY land fill sometime to see in I’m lying. Sort of like all these electric car batteries that average (something) like a current 2% recycle rate on battery materials. This whole narrative that costly, non-Green & intermittent energy sources like wind & solar are our “Salvation” is not based on reality. Energy imperatives of density, scale & cost are RUTHLESS and require attention to physical laws & sound engineering & scientific principles. IDEALOGY is of little use in this arena…
Well Drewski got one thing right, he is a nobody that visits this site!
Don’t bring an ideological knife to a fact based gunfight…
Or an idio-illogical knife.
Drewski has been underperforming for years, in spite of our best efforts to educate him. Pearls before swine…
Wind Turbines and Solar arrays cluttering up the landscape and that’s just the half of it
