I feel like you're making definitive statements about technology that is still being developed. While they were developing gasoline and infrastructure for cities, they used lead in fuel and piping. Later on we found out that lead blunted the IQ of almost half the US population and we phased it out of the manufacturing process.
Solar technology, renewable fuels, and other alternative power sources are all in their development stages. I feel like it's a mistake to assume manufacturing issues can't be resolved or that there are definitively no alternatives to the same process. |

In time, improvements in technology, including clean mining and clean, efficient disposal of used solar panels and batteries, will happen. |

No, currently, because it is so much cheaper, they use child labor in far away countries paying children a dollar a day, if that, to mine those elements for them, but of course, rarely, there is no funded media coverage of it as they want to keep those facts and the real truth away from those that believe green energy, every bit of it, is green and friendly from top to bottom. Just like the movie shows, they never talk nor show you those things that they expose. I wonder how many know how many times they tried to delete/remove this movie? I wonder how many know, since they couldn't have it removed, that the Liberal funded Youtube had an age restriction setting placed on it to help keep the viewing numbers down for those that didn't belong to youtube nor wanted to nor knew how to sign in? Numerous vids that were once up showing these children down in totally unsafe pits in the worst possible working conditions have now been removed. I wonder why they don't want people seeing those or knowing the real story behind the ev, solar and wind movement??? Our Liberal govt's know this but why don't they speak of these things and go out of their way to keep it quiet??? The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that at least 25,000 children are working in cobalt mines in the DRC, a number that is sure to grow as the production of climate-friendly electric cars expands. Cobalt mines – child labour in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Cobalt is a critical component in rechargeable car batteries and is indispensable for the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources.Jun 17, 2022 https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo...ergy%20sources. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-po...l-scale-mining https://www.theguardian.com/global-d...-mining-deaths https://www.theguardian.com/environm...greener-future https://www.ft.com/content/c6909812-...6-a4640c9feebb https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsan...siddharth-kara Green energy, Yeah, way way better than what we currently have.

I hope you're kidding, Ben, but my gut tells me different. Child labor, as you know, or ought to know, is illegal in most countries around the world, including here North America so tell me why our govt's turn a blind eye to that fact and are OK with it but try to keep that fact hidden from the likes of people like you? You OK with children dying just so they can pad the pockets of elites of this world who preach how friendly and joyful green energy is? You have to be one of the most ignorant, dumbest persons I have ever encountered anywhere, seriously. International Rights Advocates brought the case on behalf of 14 Congolese families whose children were killed or injured while mining for cobalt. The metal is key ingredient in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power most electronic devices.Dec 17, 2019 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens...onic%20devices. “Our children are dying like dogs.” That is the sorrowful statement of one Congolese mother whose son and cousin died while working the cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. https://www.deseret.com/utah/2021/5/...an-rights-dell

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like the issue you’re raising is with DRC labor laws more so than with the idea of renewable energy.
