@martinrev21 @sharonclues https://t.co/64RLwK6Zmn Let's not 'save the world' (for humans) by destroying our environment and biodiversity.
@TPCarney Land use and rare materials mining are the two biggest environmental costs. Land use issue goes away when solar is deployed on existing structures, but the ecological loss associated with solar farms is devastating. https://t.co/GltP6btiaq
@KetanJ0 @thiesbeckers @OskaArcher No, I don't. There will be more mines in more places. The coal mines have created their destruction, but the new mines add to the destruction in new places (as my world map showed and this below from the same article. htt

@ipeltonen "Mining threats to biodiversity will increase as more mines target materials for renewable energy production and, without strategic planning, these new threats to biodiversity may surpass those averted by climate change mitigation." https://t.co
@DrewPavlou This is not ‘saving the world’. It’s all about saving a civilisation in overshoot and past it’s use-by date as fossil fuels become more costly to extract. Renewable energy production will exacerbate mining threats to biodiversity https://t.c
@AEN3RGY @DotaJibaku @LeodyManggagawa Carbon emissions in transport are already included in the life-cycle assessments, so that point is moot. Pero regarding mining, don't forget kailangan din magmina ng materials for renewables (https://t.co/Y906X3LkDq).
and areas that overlap with Protected Areas and Remaining Wilderness contain a greater density of mines.. https://t.co/ZbwpzfclOW
@CyclAdeleC @Tom_Swann “…generating the required technologies and infrastructure will drive an increase in the production of many metals, creating new mining threats for biodiversity.” https://t.co/ZbwpzfclOW
@offgridPorter @Bree000007 @YouTube Renewables will only expand the ecocidal destruction of our planet. They are extremely materials therefore mining extensive and still require fossil fuels. https://t.co/ZbwpzfclOW

@Jess_Panegyres @Roccod123 No that’s no future. Mining is ecocidal & destructive. This is all about trying to preserve a dystopian crumbling civilisation for a bit longer. That’s the future. https://t.co/ZbwpzfclOW
@AuburnEngCyber @mzjacobson @IPCC Mining is destructive & only adds to evershoot regardless of where it is. We need degrowth. https://t.co/ZbwpzfclOW
@SarahLynnBurch Oh it turns our renewable energy production is ALSO destroying nature. We need DEGROWTH. Why are you saying this? “Renewable energy production will exacerbate mining threats to biodiversity” https://t.co/ZbwpzfclOW
@XRGuildford Yes. A big problem. Resource extraction then the massive amount of energy needed to power them - which is coming from a power station - either fossil fuel powered - or renewables - either way it's ecocidal. https://t.co/1bcB7JcaMt

@TutusNTinyHats The issue also is that a quarter of the surface of the earth must be mined to get the materials: https://t.co/aENcERtyp8 A lot of fossil fuel will need to be used for the extraction. We need to couple renewables with reducing need for us
@Climateradical1 Go all renewable but also dramatically systemically reduce the need to use energy. If we hit Net Zero by 2050 we have to occupy appx 1/4 of earth’s surface for mining operations. Lowering need is super important. https://t.co/aENcERtyp8
