At present the turbines are not recyclable. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turb...

EVs are probably really worse than hybrids. https://youtu.be/S1E8SQde5rk

Solar panels are pretty toxic. Present recycling produces all sorts of toxic waste that might be poorly handled. https://www.cfact.org/2019/09/15/the-solar-panel-toxic-waste...

Batteries are often sourced from slave labor. https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/green-battery-r...

Lithium miners often continue exploration of indigenous peoples. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/batteries/t...

Lithium mining often poisons the environment. https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/renewable/the-env...

The list goes on.

It's amazing how stuck up people here on Hacker News are. You've provided info on how Green Energy isn't green, as requested. You went far and beyond what they asked for and now they downvote you because it's inconvenient information.

Obvious China Shill is Obvious. (China is the #1 beneficiary of Green Energy policy in the US, they buy off politicians to push this agenda so we are forced to buy Green Energy products that are only made in China currently)

Yea...

Go jack off to a wind farm.
