There is nothing renewable about 'renewable' energy. The production of wind turbines, solar panels and other types of mechanisms to produce 'renewable' energy, has also 'occult' pollution costs of which not many people want to talk about in today's climate of 'climate change' intimidation. It is disingenuous and false to think that the change of energy paradigm has no environmental consequences. 'Clean' technologies and systems have certain advantages, as they seem to 'concentrate' damage in certain areas and countries and avoid the most obvious atmospheric damage. However, mining the minerals needed to produce the new 'clean' technologies, producing the generators, turbines and panels, require high levels of environmental, political and economic damage. Thus, not that paradoxically, China, the biggest polluter in the world is, ALSO, the biggest producer of wind and solar energy, wind turbines and solar panels. The mines that supply the metals needed in this 'green revolution', are also in complicated, unstable and underdeveloped areas, subject to low environmental controls, high deregulation, weak labour and civil societies. That is, they will be likely to REPRODUCE the dependency relations of the fossil fuel system. Relations that are, already, being reproduced in the most developed countries, with public subsidies and investments in the hands of networks of corrupt politicians and inefficient businesses. All hidden under the fake rhetoric of environmental protection.
