Liberal Republicans like Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon are allowing our beautiful countryside to be taken over by dystopian environmental disasters: solar panels, wind turbines, carbon pipelines, and other projects that are destroying our property and liberties under the guise of protecting the environment.
Imagine Norman Rockwell’s America, now covered in anti-environmental wind turbines and solar panels. Much of that part of America is under Republican control. The globalists need vast tracts of land to push their “transition” to energy plans that are impossible to achieve. Republican governors are happy to provide the land for these plans to create temporary jobs based on government lies, mandates, subsidies, and misallocation of resources that will never succeed in the free market.
These untested and unnatural green scam projects are like the COVID vaccines: they are unnatural mandates and subsidies imposed by world governments that have a monopoly on the public sphere, the laws and the economy.
rear Gordon announced Foreign companies, buoyed by an anti-market federal government that plans to make the Cowboy State “carbon negative,” are moving into the state and building unsightly wind farms. Spanish energy giant Repsol is Huge Wind Farm It is located a few miles northwest of Cheyenne. The company has already received approval for the Rail Tie Wind Project in Tie Siding, west of Cheyenne. Now anyone traveling north of the state capital on I-25 or west on I-80 faces the devastation of Agenda 2030. Yet another major devastation becomes apparent as 1.2 million conspicuous solar panels transform rural America into something worse than it already is. The urban asphalt jungle.
Meanwhile, an $80 million “carbon capture” facility Under Construction There is a plan to sell “carbon credits” in the southwestern part of the state as the ultimate venture socialism. Carbon capture is cumbersome, expensive, unfeasible, untested and based on Gordon’s lie that carbon, which is essential to human life, is somehow a pollutant.
Homeowners in Fish Creek Preserve, outside Laramie, are opposed to a rail-tie wind project, citing environmental concerns and the potential for lower property values. Republican-leaning state legislatures and county governments should help these homeowners by creating as many zoning obstacles as possible to block such projects across the country.
While this may sound like a left-wing tactic against natural, efficient fuel sources, the reality is far different. Coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear power function as public goods that help power the nation. Careful zoning of any projects is essential, but these energy sources are ultimately necessary.
In contrast, wind farms are environmentally harmful, expensive, and dependent on fossil fuels to operate, and cannot sustain themselves in the free market without federal and state subsidies and mandates. Addressing these projects that face regulatory headwinds requires applying free market governance to counter the artificial support they receive from subsidies and mandates.
As part of the Green New Deal, the Biden administration is using all government tools to achieve 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030. In addition, half of the states, Includes many Republican-leaning statesthere is a Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard that mandates the use of these silly products. Projects like wind farms, solar panels and carbon capture get a 30% investment tax credit as part of a broader subsidy scheme. Goldman Sachs report from April 2023 Estimation The total subsidies included in the Inflation Control Act would reach $1.2 trillion by 2032.
Many Republican governors hide behind the “all measures” approach. They may support fossil fuels, but in a world with so many unworkable energy subsidies and mandates, this approach unnaturally favors anti-market forces. For example, Wyoming is the largest coal producer in the country. Without government propaganda like Gordon’s “carbon negative” push, no one would ruin the beauty of this state with wind turbines, solar panels and carbon capture when we have more efficient, cheaper and less visible energy sources available.
The greatest tragedy of this environmental fraud is that we sacrificed our quality of life and prosperity to the pagan gods of the sun and wind, leaving toxic traces on the land and environmental degradation. No one has a plan for the decommissioning of countless solar panels and turbines. The first generation is now on its way out. They are not biodegradable and pose many environmental and health risks.
“If we don’t get the recycling chain moving now, we’ll end up in a pile of trash by 2050,” said Ute Collier, deputy director of the International Renewable Energy Agency. In an interview with the BBCThere are an estimated 2.5 billion solar panels in use worldwide, and the first generation, which have a lifespan of about 25 years, are reaching the point where they need to be discarded.
As Alex Epstein explained: In a recent columnto power the entire world, we would need solar power projects with 10 watts per square meter. This would mean we would need 1.8 million square kilometers of solar power projects, “larger than all our cities, towns, villages and human infrastructure combined” ([around] “1.5 million square kilometers.” And that’s before you even get to the land needed to extract all the metals needed to make the panels, turbines, batteries, and transmission lines.
The more you use, the more space you need for disposal.
If fossil fuel use continues, carbon capture plans will require the use of large amounts of underground storage space. Robert Bryce observes This would require the equivalent of 41 oil tankers of storage space every day, 365 days a year, resulting in untold amounts of metals littering the landscape and carbon being stored underground, raising concerns about safety and efficacy.
All of these efforts are based on climate and carbon claims that disrupt human lives, economies and health, similar to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 response and associated vaccines.
In many ways, these untested and unnatural green scam projects are similar to COVID vaccines. They are unnatural mandates and subsidies imposed by world governments that monopolize the public sphere, the law and the economy. These are untested products, not subject to the trial and error that makes them safe and effective. Vaccines have been exempted from all market forces that lead to safety.
Firefighters are currently being trained to deal with the intense heat generated by electric vehicle fires across the country. These incidents, like sudden, unexplained deaths, don’t make the headlines unless you actively look for them. This will continue with solar and wind energy unless we change the culture and priorities in Republican states.
Republican-leaning states have the regulatory power to impose roadblocks on large wind and solar farms, carbon capture facilities, and electric vehicle infrastructure until these industries prove the safety and effectiveness of their products and present realistic long-term plans that don’t consume limited land with unsightly, out-of-place structures.
We must finally end this nonsense at the federal level. Conservatives need a commitment from Trump and Republican leaders not just to expand oil drilling in the budget reconciliation bill, but to completely repeal the Green New Deal. Republican donor class and industry lobbyists As with the fight to repeal Obamacare, we are trying to soften only parts of the bill. This approach is a huge mistake. We need our own foolproof strategy, but only one that is fueled by proven methods that don’t rely on subsidies or mandates to survive.
