Why clean energy is now expanding even when fossil fuels are cheap

[NNadir]

19. The "investment" they're making is a toxicological nightmare. Only a person who...

...doesn't give a shit about the lives of Chinese people could be applauding cadmium mines and lanthanide mines in China to produce so called "renewable" garbage, which is neither "renewable" nor "sustainable" since it has a low energy to mass density and relies on materials with a huge mining impact.

Among the many thousands of papers written on the topic that can easily read by anyone who gives a shit, which is to say anyone who's not an airhead cheering for batteries and other soon to be electronic waste for their stupid electric car fantasies, is this one:

Occurrence and Partitioning of Cadmium, Arsenic and Lead in Mine Impacted Paddy Rice: Hunan, China (Environ. Sci. Technol., 2009, 43 (3), pp 637–642)

Of course, most of the shit for brains cheerleaders for mining toxic metals and materials in China don't give a shit.

My experience of the people who applaud what is happening in China in the so called "renewable energy" field is that they don't give a rat's ass about China's environment, about China's people or for that matter, about the planetary environment and the rest of the human race, mostly because most of them are clearly illiterate about environmental issues.

And one reason that they don't give a shit about Chinese is that it's not like the average Chinese, where the per capita income is still less than $10,000 is going to run out and buy a stupid Tesla electric car for billionaires and millionaires.

Here is the result, graphically, of the grand, expensive and wasteful experience of the "explosion" of "renewable energy" that intellectual Lilliputians have been cheering about for the last half a century:



2015 comes in as the worst year ever observed at the Mauna Loa CO2 observatory.

The ethically challenged uneducated primitives, the mindless anti-nukes who have caused this tragedy, deserve the excoriation history will give them, should history exist in the case humanity survives the effects of their ignorance.

Have a nice day tomorrow.
