We have enough misinformation as it is that we can do without comments like yours without some kind of citation. No-one thinks that any electricity generation is zero-carbon, the question is only about the relative advantages/disadvantages across many metrics like cost, complexity, security, consistency, scalability, land-use and many others.

FOr example, a wind turbine is an awful lot easier to remove and make good than an entire power station if we eventually build something much better.

A wind turbine is not replacing a "power station". Do I really need a citation for this?
