Indyvidual,

At this point, you’re not debating - you’re just declaring disbelief like it’s a trump card. You “don’t believe” the studies, the lifecycle analyses, the environmental agencies, the peer-reviewed science - because you’ve decided they’re all lying. That’s not scepticism. That’s denial.

You’ve dismissed every independent source, from MIT to the European Environment Agency, without offering a single piece of counter-evidence. Not one study. Not one credible analysis. Just gut feeling and vague conspiracies about who's “got the most to gain.”

Meanwhile, you continue making factually incorrect claims. You say coal infrastructure is recyclable and renewables are not - that’s just false. Wind turbine blades are being repurposed into cement and construction materials. Solar panels have recovery rates of 90%+. Battery recycling is a booming global industry.

You claim renewables are a "hellishly costly & destructive experiment" while ignoring that fossil fuels have already done the damage: oil spills, air pollution killing millions, decades of climate destabilisation. The science is clear - and no, it’s not “faux facts” just because you don’t like the outcome. You can check their claims yourself if you have time to invest. Many others have and came up empty handed unless they cherry-picked or quote-mined.

You don’t have to like renewables. But you don’t get to rewrite reality because it doesn’t suit your narrative. If you want to be taken seriously, come back with evidence. Otherwise, it’s clear to everyone here what this is: the fossil fuel industry’s talking points, recycled through indignation and mistrust.

The energy transition is happening. The only question is whether people want to engage honestly - or keep tilting at wind turbines.
