    Of course wind turbines and solar panels have a lifespan as does everything. Coal power plants last about 25 years diesel generators about the same.

    Yes China makes a large percentage of solar panels. They made a State decision to be the world's supplier and did it. And presently China's energy production is moving away from coal faster than the USA. About 43% is now solar hydro or wind. In my state we are about 10%.

    Disillusioned JW, these sing from the same song sheet. Following them is not a good idea. Many videos similar to this, just different topics.

    Vidqun I don't have a Twitter account and I very rarely visited a Twitter page. I have virtually no interest in the Twitter website.

    I like the way it has gone from "Ocean levels are not rising in the Southern Hemisphere" to "It doesn't really matter if they are"!

    The fact is sea levels can be measured, and sea level data has been recorded since at least the turn of the 20th Century.

    Furthermore, sea level records for Australia and New Zealand show an overall rising of sea levels throughout that period, with the rate accelerating since 1993.

    Also, these statistics only confirm what even Blind Freddy can easily enough see for himself - with the cutting in half of Bribie Island being just one example of many.

    I upvote some things that Vidquin shares and I certainly don’t need Rivergang or Joey-Joe Joe to explain anything to me… other than how they expect to produce batteries for EVs without someone raping the environment or groups of people who inhabit areas where rare minerals are to be found.

    I guess they could explain the documentary “Who Killed The Electric Car?” Or explain how mining will take place for all these “Green Solutions.”

    For those that have a Twitter account. Some green electric scooters having reached the end of battery life. Buying a new electric scooter is cheaper than replacing the old one's battery.

    Disillusioned JW, these are the talking heads, parroting their master's wishes. Do follow them and see where it leads.

    Disillusioned JW, these are the talking heads you follow, singing from the same song sheet, parotting their masters' wishes. Good luck with that.

    Yep, hard to argue with the proof that the Mainstream Media follows a script.. Reminds me of another Cult.. If only I could remember the name… The Leaders determined the talk outlines, especially at large gatherings and there was very little deviation. If I’m not mistaken, I believe they tightened the reigns even more in the last 5 years or so.

    If only I could remember the name of the Cult…

    Oh, I see - it's all just an invention of the MSM, so nothing to worry about.

    She'll be right mate!

    Don't worry about a thing - until you wake up one morning and notice this happening to your property:

    But she'll be right, mate!

    Whichever way we go - whether renewables or fossil fuel - mining is still going to an inevitable activity.

    For example, 50% of this country's electricity is still being provided by coal-fired generation plant, and an open-cut coal mine is hardly the most picturesque place on the planet! However, there is no need to demonise mining per-se. Mine operators can clean up after themselves, and in fact do so when compelled to.

    - See the following link for some examples of this.

    Australian mine rehabilitation: Projects leading the way (mining-technology.com)

    For as long as we continue to use metals, and/or use concrete, gravel and bricks for building works, there will be mining activities (after all, what is a gravel pit or a rock quarry but a mine with a different name?). It is definitely not a case of Fossil Fuels = No Mining / Renewables = Mining.

    However, there is no need to "throw the baby out with the bath water", as the saying goes!

    Miners can be made to rehabilitate their workings once mining operations have ceased. (Having worked in recent years at GEMCO's manganese mine in the Gulf of Carpentaria, I have seen first-hand some excellent results of this).
