How do you know that 20 years of lithium mining won't be worse?
Because 1 day of Lithium mining can be used to produce enough solar panel energy to replace a Whole Coal-fired plant that belches for 20 years.

I'd love to see a citation for that. Do you have one?Because 1 day of Lithium mining can be used to produce enough solar energy to replace a Whole Coal-fired plant that belches for 20 years.

Common sense.I'd love to see a citation for that. Do you have one?
We are talking about mining operations not CO2 emissions. Besides widespread use of solar will usher in the next glacial cycle. That would be considerably worse.
I'm not seeing a link in this post backing up your claim in post #41.Common sense.
Chile virtually supplies the whole planet from an empty desert area.
That's alot every day
While coal not only needs to be Mined, but the plant needs to be supplied regularly with sh*t that fouls the air every day it lives. Unlike solar.
Get a brain.

Now dumb fuck, you are going to tell me that the copper mines, iron mines, ect. are used for nothing but renewable energy? And that they did not exist before wind turbines and solar panels? But you found nothing wrong with them then? What a hypocritical asshole you are.One material, what about the others needed for your equipment?
Talk about being a hack.
Actually not true'All the mining of Uranium I have see is in desert arid places and not as concerning to me. The envio-nuts will have accept compromise if they wish to keep heating their soyburgers in microwave ovens. Nuclear has potential to supply the needed power generation on a continual basis without further destruction after the mining.
Not only that, most of the lithium can be recovered when the batteries are recycled. Once the coal is burned, it is gone, and all you have left is pollution and toxic flyash.Common sense.

No, they are not. We have the technology now that could supply all our energy needs with solar, wind, and existing hydro.

Again....we've seen this silly bomb thrower exercise repeated over and over and over and over and over and over....for 10 years in here.
Which tells us what?
Tells us nobody takes this shit seriously.
Another dud

LOL We know what impacts the mines have, after all, they have been in production for more than a hundred years. But once wind or solar is up, it takes no further mining to supply the energy, unlike nuclear, coal, or natural gas. You don't have to put in pipelines or railroads to deliver wind or sunshine.That's not the point. Your side claims "renewables" spring from dirt and have no impact compared to other energy sources.
Your side ignores the same impacts your approved energy sources have.
And you are just so full of shit. Solar and wind, combined with storage, can easily provide base load. No dirty mining for uranium, no nuclear waste that must be stored safely for thousands of years. As more and more solar and wind are constructed, periods like this are going to become longer and longer until renewables are what the grid is.Not true. Only Nuclear can provide the required base load.
And hydro can kill the red winged yellow snail, so it isn't renewable, right?
