The resources of the clean-energy era cannot be blockaded or weaponised
There are no price spikes for sunlight and no embargoes on the wind.
The fastest path to energy security, economic security and national security is clear: speed up a just transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy.
You do realize there are thousands of windmills out there that are broken and they don’t fix them. The company selling them either don’t care or have gone bankrupt. . They produce more carbon monoxide in manufacturing windmills, then windmills, save and curb and monoxide.
It’s a perfect idea. And I agree it’s the right path to move…
Corporations don’t see that. Including the ones “doing it”
For example take Canada. The current government and its leader are not interested in anything but making money for the US companies he’s very heavily invested in… so they slow track everything and it becomes all about making money.
Those wind turbines are not the answer to it all. As much as we try to solve our energy needs, oil is still in high demand and combustion engines will be powering vehicles for a long time to come. The good news is that air quality continues to improve and is the cleanest ever ...and getting cleaner
Be a slave to big oil if it makes you feel better.....how's that working out for you ?.....especially at the moment ? If it's not affecting you, give it six months, it's on it's way
It's not a new or radical idea. We've known for decades the damage done to air quality and the effects on people's health as a result of burning fossil fuel. Find me the report that shows a reduction in asthma cases; emphysema; bronchitis....etc not affected by outdoor environment.
@jackjjackson It's not true. Some parts for wind and solar have got a bit more expensive recently, but they’re still cheaper overall, as the IEA shows. The big difference is you pay once for renewables, while fossil fuels keep costing more forever, especially every time Trump causes an energy crisis.
