So, how do you mine and refine iron ore, copper, cadmium, lithium, etcetera with "green" technology, hmmmmm?Define "go green".Drill? Or go green? I say do both.
If by that you mean windmills, solar panels and the usual environmentalist babe-in-the-woods "solutions", I'd like to remind you that none of those "new" technologies are anywhere as "green" as their proponents hold them up to be.
Takes lots of mining, smelting and refining of metals, and lots of industrial lubricants to build and maintain windmills....Ditto solar panels.
Batteries need cadmium, lithium and other heavy metals that aren't exactly environmentally friendly, to mine, refine and turn into battery plates.
So, let's have it...Just how green is "green"?
Now Oddie, take a look at the table of elements. Do you see where Lithium is?
Let's consider your other dumb ass statements. You mean to tell me it does not take a buttload of mining, smelting, and refining of metals to create coal burning plants and oil refineries? Real stupid statement on your part.
And the coal burning plants, and refineries just continue to put out poisons for the rest of their existance.
Perhaps starting your re-education at about the third grade would bring you up to speed?
How do you produce coke (an essential ingredient in steel) without burning coal?
C'mon...Dazzle us.
