Depletion of rare earth metals by wind turbines is not a concern. Germany already generates most of its power from wind and solar and has dramatically reduced their emissions and environmental impact. The fact that Americans are still debating this shows the extent of misinformation here.

I suppose my argument derives from a personal ethical preference. I believe the autonomy of the human individual is decreasing. Don't confuse this with the right to pollute but rather the ability to live fulfilling lives.

Put simply everyone has a reason to leave civilization as we know it behind. A decrease in the standard of living for the vast majority of the world and an untenable resource consumption burden therefore the removal of the resource base for future generations.

The only people who will be holding on to the utopian fantasy in 20 years will be the fringe capitalists and related types social democratic governments and communism. Sadly in their departure from the world stage will leave destruction in their wake.

In Texas...During the crisis wind power disappeared(froze)...normally high in February.  Carbon powered surged.  But even that could not make up for the incredible demand.  Were some plants offline?  Yes...but the online ones provided amazing amount of power.

 

What's your view on nuclear? If I might ask.
