Wind, Solar, and the War on Grazing Lands with Hank Vogler
A Nevada wind farm can't turn a profit and has been forced to buy power — and that's just the beginning. In Wyoming, a proposed wind turbine project threatens to carve up prime grazing land with transmission lines that benefit no one in the community. Trent reveals how millions of grazing acres across the U.S. have been lost to energy projects and data centers. Hank drops a jaw-dropping stat: Nevada has seen a 70% wipe-out of animal units on grazing land — and the Taylor Grazing Act helped set that in motion decades ago. The conversation also exposes how clean coal technology has quietly reduced emissions while farmers now have to add sulfur back to their fields. Plus, Trent and Hank dig into World War II internment camps, family migration history tied to the Trail of Tears, and how nutrition lies from the 1970s are finally being corrected.
