I agree. And I don’t have the answers, but the unconsidered or unintended environmental impacts of green energy really irk me.
Perhaps it’s that we’ve resorted to accepting these huge infrastructure projects to create green energy instead of considering how to reduce energy consumption or not considering how we could implement on a smaller scale (ie. solar on every roof), but yeah. I feel ya.
It's my current thought experiment, what are the unintended consequences of doing it this way, what are our other options?/what are the costs to this (costs in terms of growth, costs to other nations who are plundered for raw materials etc etc)
How else could this land be used? But then also cross theories - if we are overpopulated why waste land like this when we could feed or house people?
Sorry about the essay! Just thinking over all of it
Same, friend. Same. 😅
