The heavily subsidized wind energy industry consistently falls short of its green promises, relying on massive taxpayer subsidies while delivering unreliable power and environmental degradation. Rich breaks down how Donald Trump's sharp critiques of wind turbines highlight genuine economic and ecological realities—from sky-high maintenance costs and grid instability to the destruction of local landscapes and wildlife habitats. Unpacking how federal mandates and corporate cronyism artificially prop up an unviable energy source, Rich explains why prioritizing intermittent renewables over reliable baseload power burdens consumers, threatens energy independence, and misallocates billions in public capital.
