Journalism, Energy, and Colorado’s Green Shift with Sean Paige
He argues that environmental groups now control the media narrative, while reporters no longer understand basic energy science. Trent, with 25 years in media, backs him up—saying the pressure on independent voices is stronger than ever.
They also expose the crisis inside ag media. Trent explains how refusing advertiser control has made him an outsider, proving how corporate influence kills honest reporting. The conversation honors the late Michael Reagan, then moves to the death of “Dead Tree Media” and why mainstream outlets no longer represent real Americans.
The episode goes deeper as Sean highlights environmental indoctrination in schools, calling it a “religion” that escapes scrutiny and pushes misinformation into policy and classrooms. He argues it should be challenged legally, the same way other forms of religious instruction would be.
Colorado becomes the prime example of what happens when green ideology goes unchecked. Sean says Colorado has drifted into California-style politics with no checks and balances, forced electrification, and energy mandates that crush consumers and freedom. Trent brings up his upcoming Colorado Environmental Committee presentation, noting how the state’s political climate has shifted into dangerous territory.
Both slam Colorado’s energy crisis, hammering the state for killing coal, ignoring natural gas, and blocking nuclear power while betting everything on intermittent wind and solar. Sean warns of a coming financial and ratepayer disaster. Trent demands energy diversity before America walks straight into blackouts and economic pain. Together, they call for political change and a ratepayer revolt to protect affordable, reliable energy.
