All right geothermal.. oh it's dangerous just ask the geothermal plant in Hawaii that just got covered in 40 ft worth of molten lava. Totally millions of dollars just vanished.
Yeah sometimes it works. But the risks... How about drill into a magma vein?
And electric vehicles... Well let's look at the massive amount of graveyards and the fact that 99% of an electric car is not recyclable.. from the batteries especially. And then let's look at how much mining had to dig and how many tons of or had to be processed. And you don't realize that we have quite a bit of toxic and acidic waste from the bottom of these mines and these mines actually fill up with toxic and acidic waste that is naturally occurring...
If you're actually looking to gold mining which I actually really enjoy. You'll find that mining destroys equipment with all the natural acids. Which knowledge of alchemy and of these acids would be the reason why South Americans had so much gold. As well as other parts around the world. Lost technology that's pretty much right under our fingertips..
But to get lithium to make these batteries you have to do a lot of mining usually strip mining which is this huge horrible toxic pit.
Mining even if you are using environmentally friendly methods still results in all sorts of issues.
I am absolutely in favor of sustainable energy and however really looking at the situation it is just easier for you to grow hemp. Actually pelletized hemp provides three times the amount of heat energy as the equivalent acre of trees. I thought you thermal electric generation that ties into the rest of the grids... You are looking at the most environmentally friendly method of electrical generation. Smoke produces CO2 which plants breathe. And then they convert that into oxygen which would we need.
The green energy idea, has actually been really shifted.
I absolutely would like to see an alternative. Arguably the safest sustainable energy even though it is pretty costly is nuclear however I can also counter with the Chernobyl Fukushima Three Mile Island and Hanford.
Honestly enough which would you rather have a big huge mining disaster, pumping for oil, dead eagles from wind turbine energy, or nuclear meltdown...
All of the above don't sound very good to me. I think the solution is much easier and simpler than we believe.
I lived most of the past 30 years within 80 miles of a nuke plant. Built in the 1980s, solid is a rock, in a state nowhere near fault lines.
True non are good but when you look at the options, yes we have some nuke meltdowns. However, considering how many are in operation and for how long, not a bad ratio. Plus, the newer plants seem to be safer.
Dont say that. It ruins the boogeyman story.
Here is the crux if the discussion. And how is this resolved. Because batteries are not only in EVs and it is not decreasing any time soon. The world is acquiring a larger thirst for batteries, EVs aside.
Naturally, they cant produce enough now to keep up with demand. So what is the solution. Obviously they are going to have to greatly improve to keep pace. Price is only one factor, and a secondary one when the production cant keep up.
