Summary

A new study on marine research shows offshore wind farms are leaching toxic amounts of heavy metals into ocean waters, poisoning sea life and our food supply. Hear how the Trump administration and the USDA are ending dangerous solar and wind projects before they cause any more harm.

The informed consent action network was started with the idea to end manmade disease.

We're, basically our legal team has been America's watchdog.

0:09.0

We've been the most successful health legal team in America.

0:12.0

And during the pandemic, certainly, perhaps in the world.

0:16.0

And that involves also spotlighting toxic environmental causes.

0:20.0

And I want to switch now with that thought

0:21.8

in mind to something that we don't really think about put together. And that is windmills, that's

0:27.7

solar panels. When people think about this, they think about we're saving the environment. But remember,

0:32.7

there's conservationism and there's environmentalism. Big, big difference between the two.

0:37.9

And so we go to the UK, Plymouth Maine Laboratories.

0:41.1

This is one of the world leaders in the field of marine research.

0:43.9

They just published a study showing offshore wind farms could cause significant ecosystem

0:49.6

economic and human health risks.

0:51.7

So these wind farms, a lot of the windmills are put in water. They're put in the ocean.

0:56.0

And a study found that they use these materials to protect these windmills from corrosion. But those

1:02.6

materials leach into the surrounding water, ocean, marine life. And here's what the study found.

1:08.3

The study published, it's in nature's ocean sustainability,

1:11.8

estimated annual inputs of metals from current European wind farms to be 3,219 tons of aluminum,

1:19.2

1,148 tons of zinc, 1.9 tons of indium. And it says here in the article, for zinc,

1:26.0

this already exceeds the sum of all known direct

1:28.7

inputs and river discharges into the North Atlantic from key European countries, locating

1:34.6

seaweed and shellfish farms in close proximity to offshore wind farms.
