The Truth about Wind Farms - With Meghan Lapp

September 15, 2025

Meghan Lapp has been at the forefront of the Wind Farm Turbulence and issues on the East Coast, and she was just on the Ingram Angle discussing the problems with the offshore wind farms. You won't want to miss this opportunity to ask David Blackmon, Tammy Nemeth, Irina Slav, Stu Turley, and our special guest, Meghan Lapp, about the problems being kept from the public. Some real safety issues are not being covered.


In this episode, we take a deep dive into the hidden impacts of offshore wind projects from threats to marine life and fisheries, to navigation risks, radar interference, and even national security concerns. Meghan shares first-hand insight into how these projects are reshaping the East Coast and why the public deserves to know more.


Great job, Meghan! She is a national treasure and has been tirelessly working to protect our fishing and offshore industries from the overreach of our prior adminstration’s horrific implementation.
