1/8 Solar & Wind are 0 emissions?
Each 1 MW of solar farm power requires between 35 to 45 tons of steel,
+ you need to dig for cadmium, gallium, germanium, indium, selenium, and tellurium
Make silicon
Silicon metal is made from the reaction of silica (SiO2)

2/8 and carbon materials like coke, coal, and wood chips. (High CO2)
On average 1 MW of wind capacity requires:
103 tonnes of stainless steel,
402 tonnes of concrete,
6.8 tonnes of fiberglass,
3 tonnes of copper
and 20 tonnes of cast iron.
With what you produce

Big machines dig it and ships transport it running on Diesel.
You bake steel or concrete using Coal or Gas.
Don't forget about wind turbine parts replacements.
Approximately 50% of emissions from cement production come not from energy provision,

Approximately 50% of emissions from cement production come not from energy provision,
4/8 but from chemical reactions in its production.
Even if you switch to âgreenâ hydrogen:
in country like Germany, UK this will use marginal emissions which are 500-550g CO2/kWh
Zero Emissions? Are you sure?

5/8 Wind: âTens of thousands of aging blades are coming down from steel towers around the world and most have nowhere to go but landfills.â
Wind: âNearly 14 million trees have been chopped down across Scotland to make way for wind turbines.â

6/8 Solar: âTons of lead and cadmium are used (toxic materials). By 2016 photovoltaics/Solar had distributed around 11,000 tons of lead and around 800 tons of cadmium."
7/8 "Everyday operation of wind turbines requires fossil fuels for lubrication. Avg 5 MW turbine contains several hundred gallons of oil and hydraulic fluid the transformer at the base of each turbine may contain another 500 gallons. Avg: 700 gallons. To be replaced periodically"

thread:
we do not need to put a green label on things, products.
we must remove it.
there is no such thing as:
clean energy,
green energy,
free energy,
sustainable,
net-zero,
renewables.
after removal we will see just one word:
overconsumption

That moment when I see that solar panels will cover rivers:
"However, most fish require around 12 hours of light a day. Fish such as goldfish will lose their color without light, and some fish may stop eating, become lethargic or become ill without sufficient lighting."

You can google for quotes used. It's easy (thread):
"Each new MW of solar power requires between 35 to 45 tons of steel" - they talk about solar farms.

The first step in the circular economy is Reduce and Share.
