Unpopular Fact:

Wind and solar energy, the most virtue signaled renewable energies, are NOT good for the environment and are certainly not superior to fossil fuels as a broad source of energy & means of protecting the environment from human impact. These are the least dense, most unreliable energy sources we have which, at scale, make them hugely destructive to the environment across multiple levels of their manufacture and implementation.

Sorry, but if we actually care about the environment, we need to know where these technologies have their place, where they do not make sense, & where their political narratives are greatly divorced from reality.

Not to mention the fact that due to the unreliable and largely unpredictable nature of their energy production (due to things like low wind and/or cloudy days) they make it harder for power plants to meet demand. Ramping power generation up and down is not an efficient way for power plants to run and it greater increases maintenance and shortens expect life of power plant generators.
