All of this stuff is really a stepping stone right now to the holy grail that is fusion, even if that doesn't work near term we can always do solar reflector to microwave Satalites. Creating ev panels and wind turbine blades are not environmentally friendly by any means, I don't think nuclear is super safe for the record, but we are in a rock and a hard place.
I’m not convinced that panels or wind blades are environmentally unfriendly. Fossil fuels and nuclear have way more environmentally unfriendly infrastructures so that point kinda feels weird to single out.
Aren't solar panels incredibly toxic to manufacture and made of heavy metals & I thought wind turbines killed tons of birds and raised local ground temps and increased soil erosion. Not saying green energy is bad, but it is most definitely not zero impact. People comment on the impact because it is so frequently ignored in larger discourse like the only reason switching to 100% solar & wind isn't done is cost.
Are solar panels toxic? I looked it up, and it seems most aren't, and some have a small amount of lead/cadmium but the most common type is non-toxic. And do wind blades kill birds? I looked it up and it seems like powerlines kill x60 more birds than wind blades (30 million to 500,000) from the numbers I found. I'm willing to listen if you got better info that I do.
