Is so called "renewable energy" actually "renewable?" [View all]

Probably not.

Risks of mineral resources in the supply of renewable energy batteries

There are actually thousands of papers along these lines concerning mineral resources for all this short lived mass intensive and land intensive junk.

This is just one among many, it just happens to be open sourced and readily available and popped up on my news feed. This one happens to center on batteries, but there are many that focus on the other junk, solar and wind.

So called "renewable energy" has done exactly nothing to address the extreme global heating we are now enduring.

The idea behind ripping the shit out of the Earth by claiming mining for "renewable energy" was "green," was never about stopping ripping the shit out of the Earth for fossil fuels. It was always about attacking the last, best, hope of the human race, nuclear energy. At that, it was successful and all of humanity, indeed all living things are paying the price for that festival of ignorance.
