No argument there. Extraction and transport of anything is a dirty business. Have you seen a mountain top removal coal mine or strip mining operation? Call me when a solar panel spews 5 million barrels of oil or leaks tar sand oil into the environment.
I will be doing a deep dive to the costs/benefits of roof top solar shortly. We have several in our neighborhood and all have mostly positives to say. We have decided we will not downsize homes so we will be here indefinitely. I'll update you on the progress.
I’m not the one claiming my energy is “green” or “clean”, you are. Do You mean the oil that Leaks from the ocean floor naturally? The oil from the earth? We could never leak more crude oil than the earth already Leaks naturally, it’s crude oil (natural) and NATURAL gas. Make sure to include the subsidy that everyone is paying for in your cost analysis. I bet taking that $40k out of their own pocket for solar panels would change their minds about how positive it is. You could definitely go “green”, just get off rid of air condition, heat and hot water. Oh and your stove, and your vehicle even if it’s electric is a joke bc it uses “dirty” electricity to charge. Wonder where all these toxic batteries will be buried when they die? We haven’t even talked about the scam that is windmills yet.
Like every contentious topic portrayed to us by left and right news outlets, there's a bit more nuance to the discussion. In 2024, is it net zero to use "renewable" forms of energy? No. Is the industry subsidized? Yes. I personally don't own or desire to own EVs or solar panels. Instead of it being one side versus the other, the rational stance is to keep moving forward and diversifying our energy sources while pumping money into researching alternatives.
I don't think someone should be attacked for wanting to be progressive on forms of energy, and I work in O&G, or O&G adjacent.
Imagine how different the world looked 100 years ago, and all of the technological advances our grandparents witnessed throughout their lives. It's going to be much of the same moving forward, if not accelerated.
Have solar panels or windmills hurt you in the past? This seems like a lot of vitriol.
So environmental catastrophes are ok because of nature? Strange take.
Were you one of the people who would sabotage tractors when they first started appearing on farms or broke mechanical looms, etc? I mean at least the Luddites had some semblance of a cause. You just seem angry at progress.
It’s not an environmental catastrophe if it’s natural clown. Nature IS the environment. Crude oil and natural gas in the ocean isn’t it disaster, it’s very natural and happens constantly on an unmeasurable scale. It’s not progress, very far from it actually and it’s anything but “green” or “clean”, that’s the scam part.
Ah, the nice steady hum of generators at night. No power, no internet, but finally enough cell signal to sporadically check the Rage Page. Life is good!
