The green movement’s true colors are being exposed as environmental and ethical concerns arise from the very technologies meant to save the planet.
At a Glance
- The climate left’s agenda is criticized for being neither genuine nor environmentally friendly
- Electric vehicle and solar energy production are linked to environmental harm and human suffering
- Child labor in cobalt mining for EV batteries raises serious ethical concerns
- Solar and wind energy face scrutiny for deforestation and wildlife disruption
- Critics argue there is no truly green energy, only trade-offs and challenges
The Dark Side of Green Technology
As the world pushes for a greener future, a sobering reality is emerging. The production of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and solar panels, often touted as saviors of the environment, is leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The mining practices required to extract materials for these technologies are causing severe environmental damage and human suffering in various parts of the world.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, the extraction of cobalt for EV batteries has led to widespread child labor and environmental degradation. Indonesia faces similar issues with nickel mining, where pollution and health hazards have become rampant. These unintended consequences raise serious questions about the true cost of our transition to “green” energy.
The affordability of green technology is also an important point of contention – and one Republicans shouldn’t ignore now they’re back in power. Taxpayer money is being used to subsidize electric vehicles that remain out of reach for most Americans. This raises concerns about the equitable distribution of resources and the true beneficiaries of green initiatives.
Contrary to popular belief, solar and wind energy are not without their environmental costs, either. The construction of solar farms often requires extensive deforestation, potentially increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Wind farms, while providing clean energy, can disrupt wildlife habitats and pose threats to bird populations.
Rethinking the Green Agenda
So as we reassess the green movement, it’s becoming clear that there are no perfect solutions. Every energy source comes with its own set of challenges and trade-offs. The pursuit of a completely “green” energy system may be unrealistic and potentially harmful if not carefully considered.
This is the most extensive unmasking of radical Left support organizations supporting violent overt throw of the U.S. Chris Rufo is worth the time to read his work. In this save-worthy article, Rufo unmasks the funding for the often-violent heckler's veto by non-profit…

Anyone with a brain at this point knows that there is no perfect green solution, but we may want to look at Elon Musk for inspiration, here. Musk produces electric vehicles and no doubt knows they come at a cost, but in recent years, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has argued that the government shouldn’t be involved in his business. No rebates, no tax incentives, no involvement at all; he says the market should decide.
So should we let the market decide whether green is the right way to go? And will we eventually get there on our own? Time will only tell.
