Hmmmmm............but WHERE do those "renewables" come from?????
Lets see now...............
Eco windmills made from fiberglass, which is a derivative of fossil fuels.......OH MY!!! Along side metals which have to be MINED, smelted, and produced into working parts! Dear oh dear!
Lubricated and maintainted in working order with.......lets see now...........lubricants and plastic parts made from........OH MY!!! Derivitives of fossil fuels!!!
This power has to be transported via metal cables, which had to be mined and processed into electrical current conductors, and covered with non-electrical conducting polymers derived from..........OH MY! Again??? Yep.......fossil fuels.
And lets not forget all the the power structures, solar panels, and all the accessories that are NEEDED in order to create this "renewable energy"..........all made out of mined metals and plastics/rubbers produced from derivitives of FOSSIL FUELS!!!
And lets not forget all the employees who have to wear safety gear, most of which is created from dirivitives of fossil fuels.
And how about their transport vehicles that take them from home to work and from work to these windmills, or to the homes of where these solar panels are, when they need repairs? Mined metals and plastics/rubbers derived from..........YOU GUESSED IT..............FOSSIL FUELS!!!!
So WHO is the REAL waste of money and resources here?? Looks like all this eco bullshit to me.
OH!!!!!
And lets NOT forget the DESTRUCTION of FORESTS and the MASSIVE AMOUNTS of destroyed farmlands that have been converted to "wind farms", pretty much completely destroying area ecosystems of plants AND animals alike.
Lets also NOT forget about "solar fields" which are acres and acres and acres of solar panels used to collect solar radiation for powering electric generators.........all made from mined metals and plastics/rubbers derived from........yep, once again........FOSSIL FUELS.
And these solar panels collect so much HEAT during daylight hours, no human can be around them. And once again, destroyed a HUGE fucking area of land just to run a couple of generators for a few houses.
OH!!!
Lets not also forget the TOXIC WASTE solar panels cause, and what deadly toxins they are made of!!!!
And all the birds and bats that wind turbines destroy every year!!! MORE destruction of Mother Nature!!!!
Shall we once again calculate how much coal or natural gas would have to be burned to replace the power generated by those wind turbines? And perhaps this time we could calculate how much carbon dioxide and sooty particulate would be produced. And we could start the calculation with a tallying of how much steel and plastic and copper and dreaded insulation is required to build a fired power plant. And then we can throw in the waste heat the whole process generates.
