Do you have any idea of how much oil, including synthetic oil (which is made from coal) is needed to create those solar panels?
a. They have to mine the rare earth minerals from the Congo.
b. Ship those minerals to China to be processed.
c. Manufacture those solar panels where tons of petrochemicals are used.
d. Ship those solar panels across the ocean to the western markets.
Every single stage of the creation of those solar panels requires OIL.
Oil is needed to mine the minerals....
Oil is needed for the transportation...
Oil is needed build the junk.. etc etc etc
By comparison my clothes line is green solar technology... My 50+ year old wringer washing machine was built locally and required zero rare earth minerals and it uses less water. It's summer and I garden a hell of a lot but if you buy something like a sandwich form the grocery store that sandwich is iliterally grown in oil because of the petrochemical produced fertilizers.
There are giant landfills overflowing with Green technology gadgets leaching tons of chemical toxins in the ground at a rate that NOT even in my long lost 1950s Ford could have matched. In fact the entire drag racing gang of chums I hung around in the 50s couldn't match what one city block of smart phones can produce.
So don't tell me about "Green Technology" because my mother's washing board was far more Green Technology than the stupid Internet ready washing machine that Samsung sells today.
As far as I'm concerned if the people bitching for Green Technology were serious they would tell Elon Musk to shove his electric cars up his ass and then go out and buy a horse.
People today are just plain stupid suckers.
