Someone explain to me green energy

[apathy]

Okay maybe I wasn't there when the Kool-Aid was passed out, but how is it environmentally friendly to cut down beautiful forests near where I live to make way for monstrous wind turbines that don't work half-the-time and kill eagles the rest of the time.

How am I being good to the environment for recycling plastic instead of putting it in a landfill, when 80% of the cr@p can't be recycled, and ends up shipped off to a foreign country, where they eventually dump it in the Pacific Ocean?

Am I green for demanding renewables and electric cars when they are toxic, can't be recycled and force some child into slave labour to mine for the rare Earth elements to make them?

Why is solar energy considered green when the sun is fusing up its hydrogen reserves in doing so? And will eventually destroy the inner solar system in 5 billion years when it becomes a Red Giant star. Destruction on a cosmic scale sounds pretty green to me.

I think the planet has never been worse off since we started caring for it...

Okay have fun mining lithium.

I'm not mining ♥♥♥♥, that's for other people to take care of. The system's currently working well, like a well oiled machine, let's just keep it that way without useless debates. Electricity and green energy is the future, no matter how you slice it.

Then our future is hopeless, just like the people who believe lithium is good.

1 kilowatt of electricity
1.12 pounds of coal
1 solar panel

365 pounds of coal a year
so about 7,000 pounds of coal in 20 years

maybe taking 2 pounds of toxic silicon tetra whatever chemicals is better thatn 7000 pounds of coal

Nice try but solar panels don't last 20 years...

Focus breeds innovation, why can't you see it? If we focus on green energy, some dumbass will eventually invent better batteries, non-lithium based. I don't like them either, they lose charge over the years, it's annoying.

Or we could focus on better nuclear power that doesn't pollute, instead, which will still bbe better than your "green" energy.
Also don't expect me to take you serious when you're using an account specifically for talking on the forums, main account got banned or something?

im typing to you on full solar and lead batteries

Get rich quick with this infinite copper wire trick! Cut EV charging station cables in Minecraft. Wait a day or so for them to repair it and then boom. Its like respawning material nodes in MMOs.

Explains how it took you 5 minutes to send a comment.

We can selectively breed plants. Why not selectively breed trees so they would have better wood?

[GloriousZote]

The fact that you fear a forum ban so hard that it leads to your entire account being taken down speaks volumes about your behaviour.

The only way to save the planet is if we stop living in our comfort life and start living in the wild, it's very difficult to save the planet with the way of life we have.

shows you to that buying physical games is much safer overall than being held hostage to whims of digital

The planet doesn't care. It will balance itself out just like it always has. Even if we humans kill ourselves off, the planet's gonna keep right on spinning.

Not true necessarily. We can still live rich comfortable fulfilling lives that are also sustainable for the Earth’s resources. It will take development in resource distribution systems, better agriculture technology, advancements in waste management, more sustainable development practices, more energy efficiency, leaving some land for nature to exist and regulate natural processes, and improved energy creation, capture, and storage technology such as wind and solar where they are practical and of course Nuclear.

We can do it. It’s honestly impressive how innovative people can be.

Here is some inovation.

Right... and 99% of the "modern" world would fail at trying to do so...

Take away the Internet and most would curl into a ball on the floor for months.

This isn't a new concept... it's be around for decades...
