ANALYSIS – Joe Biden has made his radical ‘green' climate agenda a centerpiece of his administration. He even had his Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the rest of his security team make it a national defense priority, superseding in some ways, China, Russia and terrorism.
A lot of Biden's agenda is pushed by radical leftist activists, but the green energy industry is an increasingly wealthy and powerful lobby.
And they operate hand in hand.
And Biden's ‘climate czar,' John Kerry, is one of its biggest cheerleaders inside the administration.
Still, it seems reality is now seeping in at the Pentagon as the stuff is hitting the fan.
The fan, in this case, is the wind turbine used in vast wind farms throughout the northeast coastal regions of the United States.
Coincidentally, this is also where a lot of military bases are located and our air and naval forces operate from.
And the Department of Defense (DOD) is quietly expressing its frustration and concern with Biden's expansive climate agenda's impact on our military operations and American national security.
Especially the creation of massive wind farms on federally leased waters off the mid-Atlantic coast.
Some at the Pentagon are even referring to it as a national security risk.
And Congress must take note and take action.
Bloomberg reported on Monday that an Oct. 6, 2022 report produced by the U.S. Navy and Air Force, which includes maps highlighting sensitive military zones off the mid-Atlantic coast, was circulated with energy industry and state officials earlier this month.
Non-political DOD officials are trying to raise the alarm even as their politicized leadership tows the Team Biden ‘green' line.
Of course, political appointees at DOD will downplay any conflict between the Pentagon and Biden's extreme climate agenda.
Pentagon spokesperson Kelly Flynn only told Fox News Digital that: “The initial assessment performed by DoD found complicated compatibility challenges with wind turbines near Navy and Air Force training.”
“Compatibility challenges” is doublespeak for we can't put wind farms offshore without damaging our military training and readiness across the entire Eastern Seaboard.
While this has been an issue since before Biden, the danger has just been supercharged by the current administration, which refuses to listen or doesn't care.
Fox News Digital reminds us of the prior warnings: “The Pentagon's warning late last year… came years after it similarly warned in 2019 that much of the North Atlantic wind lease planning area was an ‘exclusion zone.' And a DoD map obtained by that was published in 2018 identified nearly the entire East Coast as “highly problematic” for leasing.”
Still, Biden and his radical climate cronies in the wind farm industry, such as the American Clean Power Association, a leading industry group representing wind developers, are plowing ahead.
Bloomberg explained that the new DOD maps show massive acreage cordoned off in federal waters near North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
At least four offshore wind lease areas proposed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) are described as “highly problematic” by DOD, while another two are identified as “requiring further study.”
Fox News Digital continued:
“The Navy has said there is not an area in that whole east block that does not interfere with DoD missions. But BOEM is continuing ahead,” said Meghan Lapp, the fisheries liaison for Rhode Island-based fishing company Seafreeze. “And when I've asked them on webinars, ‘The Navy said that this is a problem. How can you still be leasing it?' They're like, ‘Oh, well, we're just going to continue the discussions.'”
Well, this is serious stuff, and if the administration won't listen to its own Defense Department, Congress must get involved.
Gabriella Hoffman, a senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum's Center for Energy and Conservation, told Fox News Digital: “The Pentagon's warning about national security implications stemming from offshore wind development on the Atlantic Coast, including proximity to critical Virginia military installations, shouldn't be dismissed.”

Cant they place windfarms on nautical charts

This entire new renewable energy is a pawn fomented by the same people who tired to tell you that the earth was heating up when it had only raised 1 degree in 100 years and couldn’t light a match. They changed their name to Climate Change and Joe Biden and his handlers are trying to get you to accept their electric world knowing that it won’t work. The UN is setting up world rule. Nothing more and they want you defenseless and useless to try to go against them. The Pentagon has told Joe Biden and of course, since Joe has dementia, his handlers who in the long run have proven more demented than Joe with the mess they’ve made of this country that your security is at risk with these useless wind and solar so called renewable energy is a threat to your freedom and the security of this country and you are so sure of yourself and your puppet president that you won’t listen. “These so called renewable energy are not secure, can’t stand any changes in temperature as we have seen in California (who claims to be 96% off the US grid but couldn’t deal with a rise in temperature) and Texas who killed off people because it got too cold. If you don’t stop doing what your warned not to do, this country is doomed.
I despair at getting across to the current youth, how flimsy this entire ‘climate change threat’ actually is. The only greenhouse gas of significance is carbon dioxide, which is remarkably stable for years and years. But generations X, Y, and Z (whatever) are now so effectively brainwashed like Manchurian Candidates, they can no longer suffer any deviation from their ‘Science,’ not realizing that the definition of their ‘Science’ is in fact ‘the narrative of which WE approve…and who is WE? Brandon and Chairman Xi, for sure, possibly the incipient Globalists who want to seize the earth and carry it off for their private profits and purposes, while WE the People freeze or roast with the seasons, all the while dining on our worms and bugs, owning nothing ‘and you will be happy.’
