### Dutch Hydrogen Scam, Rob Jetten, Windmill Subsidies

- **Episode:** [1511: SEERS](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1511-seers.md)
- **Published:** 2022-12-11
- **Time:** 1:59:33–2:04:25
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1511-seers/chapter/dutch-hydrogen-scam-rob-jetten-windmill-subsidies.md

Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy Rob Jetten is aggressively promoting the development of a hydrogen market in the Netherlands. The hosts compare this to previous windmill subsidy programs, which they claim primarily benefited politicians and captains of industry through private LLCs. They argue that the "green" transition is a financial scam designed to capture government subsidies.

### Windmills and Solar Arrays as Climate Drivers

- **Episode:** [1366: Pingdemic](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1366-pingdemic.md)
- **Published:** 2021-07-25
- **Time:** 3:23:35–3:26:40
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1366-pingdemic/chapter/windmills-and-solar-arrays-as-climate-drivers.md

A theory suggests that the massive proliferation of windmills and solar arrays in West Texas may be inadvertently changing local weather patterns. Windmills create resistance that could split wind currents, while solar collectors absorb heat that would normally refract back into the atmosphere. While unproven by engineering data, the scale of these installations raises questions about their long-term environmental impact.

### Texas Energy Market Collapse and Windmill Futures

- **Episode:** [1327: China Chopper](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1327-china-chopper.md)
- **Published:** 2021-03-07
- **Time:** 1:57:47–2:00:03
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1327-china-chopper/chapter/texas-energy-market-collapse-and-windmill-futures.md

The Texas energy market is facing a $16 billion crisis following the winter storm, with several companies filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The financial failure was exacerbated by windmill operators who were forced to buy energy at $9,000 per megawatt-hour to fulfill futures contracts when their own equipment froze.

### Texas Power Grid Bankruptcy, Deregulation Critique

- **Episode:** [1326: Freedom Bracelet](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1326-freedom-bracelet.md)
- **Published:** 2021-03-04
- **Time:** 2:06:08–2:12:30
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1326-freedom-bracelet/chapter/texas-power-grid-bankruptcy-deregulation-critique.md

Multiple Texas energy firms, including Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, filed for bankruptcy following the February winter storm and subsequent price spikes. Analysts argue that deregulation and a lack of winterization incentives led to the grid's failure. The discussion suggests that a reliance on wind energy and the influence of "Green New Deal" policies left the state vulnerable compared to those maintaining nuclear and coal plants.

### Midwest Tornado Devastation, Solar Panel Vulnerability

- **Episode:** [1142: Cornageddon](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1142-cornageddon.md)
- **Published:** 2019-05-30
- **Time:** 1:37–6:07
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1142-cornageddon/chapter/midwest-tornado-devastation-solar-panel-vulnerability.md

Severe tornadoes hitting Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Indiana have caused significant devastation. The discussion highlights the physical vulnerability of green energy infrastructure, noting that windmills and solar panels are easily destroyed by storms compared to traditional nuclear or coal plants.

### 5G Experiment Hoax, Dead Birds in The Hague

- **Episode:** [1109: Pentacon](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1109-pentacon.md)
- **Published:** 2019-02-05
- **Time:** 2:18
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1109-pentacon/chapter/5g-experiment-hoax-dead-birds-in-the-hague.md

A report claiming hundreds of birds died in The Hague due to a 5G wireless experiment is debunked as a hoax. The deaths were likely caused by poisoning, leading local authorities to temporarily ban dogs from the park. Similar false claims have previously targeted windmill farms, despite a lack of physical evidence like feathers or carcasses at those sites.

### Windmill Subsidies, European Corruption and Energy Exports

- **Episode:** [686: Fifth Column](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/686-fifth-column.md)
- **Published:** 2015-01-12
- **Time:** 1:42:49–1:45:31
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/686-fifth-column/chapter/windmill-subsidies-european-corruption-and-energy-exports.md

The hosts discuss the corrupt nature of renewable energy subsidies in Europe, claiming that windmill LLCs are often owned by current and former politicians. They argue that high taxes on gasoline and electricity in Europe are designed to discourage use, leading to a "chain reaction" of companies moving to the U.S. and Canada. The segment emphasizes that North American energy remains a competitive advantage due to conventional gas and oil sands.
