Oh my gosh... I figured a long time ago that the same girl from France at the office complaining about me using a plastic coffee stick was the one getting on a plane back to France yearly and using disposable diapers for her baby, in the meantime trying to evict the elderly Canadian tenants out of her newly aquired duplex to renovate it ASAP. My climate minute.
It also takes 5 ton of copper and a tanker of oil for every wind turbine, and none of the components are recyclable. Not to mention the amount of concrete for every base. Then there’s solar panels panels - leach toxic chemicals that leech into the ground and are very toxic non-recyclable, and all have to go to landfill’s. With lifespans of between 12-20 years, if they don’t catch fire the only thing being recycled is your taxes by way of subsidies. Robbing the poor to give to the wealthy.
On a recent trip in the Midwest (US), while traveling near a huge turbine field, I noticed just one blade from one of those giant machines occupied the entire length of a flat bed diesel burning semi truck chugging along. There must’ve been a hundred of the turbines in this instance.

Such irony
