An article for the short sighted renewable energy folks. More renewables means more mining of rare earth elements needed to manufacture such technology. Wind/solar energy IS NOT renewable nor is it sustainable. https://t.co/77Dmu8W3QD

An interesting read that provides an alternative perspective on renewable energy: it will drive an increase in mining, and the threat this poses to biodiversity may surpass those averted by climate change mitigation. https://t.co/GFyD2cSFqH

@Peters_Glen @ProfStrachan Unfortunately plundering more ecosystems for metals won't solve the ecological crisis. The main threat for chimps, flamingos, birds etc is loss of habitat. https://t.co/6xf2orx9xx
@GeertWierenga @BM_Visser We kunnen ons echt niet permitteren technologie uit te sluiten die een belangrijk deel van de oplossing kan zijn. Al was het alleen maar omdat grondstoffen voor hernieuwbare energie nu al een bedreiging voor biodiversiteit vormen
@nytclimate The bigger question is - the ecological crisis. Extracting yet more minerals and metals is ecologically disasterous. https://t.co/gxOVU3h9oc
@healthcarety @sunrisemvmt @JoeBiden And a plan that doesn't actually work to stem biodiversity loss. If we are talking stemming Extinction we must talk about a total shift away from 5 planet living - not replacing consumption of one resource for another.
@sara_s_2020 Hope so...but protecting species globally - and their ecosystems should be a priority - not just within the US https://t.co/6xf2orx9xx
@DanielBleakley Yes. But let's that not be at the expense of mining the rest of the world, and polluting more ecosystems for renewable energy components/EV batteries. We need to downshift. https://t.co/6xf2orx9xx
Thread on renewable energy. Until recently I hadnt really appreciated that renewable energy of course also implicates resource use. And that's not insignificant. A lot of the rare earths and minerals needed will pollute and kill more ecosystems. https:
