A bombshell new study has revealed that tens of millions of people have been exposed to toxic waste as a result of the push to transition to “green” energy.
23 million people, more than the population of Florida, are now exposed to toxic water runoff from metal mining.
The report warns of the devastating impacts of the reckless transition to “green” energy.
The demand for mining for minerals needed for electric-powered vehicle batteries has polluted 500,000km of rivers and destroyed 16 million acres of farmland.
....
According to the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative, green energy technologies like wind turbines and electric cars often do require many more mined minerals than the present fossil fuels infrastructure.
One electric car, for example, requires six times more metallic and mineral materials than a combustion engine car, MIT’s university team reports.
A wind power plant, meanwhile, requires nine times more of these mined compounds than a traditional gas-fired plant.
Add of course, the child labor and practically slave slave labor of people in Africa, or politically persecuted people by say China imprisoned in labor camps to that horror. Then tell every dumb ass climate liberal you meet.
