There is an absolutely fascinating study that was done in July 2020 by Mark P. Mills, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, called “Mines, Minerals and Green Energy: A Reality Check.”
In it, Mills lays out a very convincing case that makes two major points:
- Regardless of how well-intentioned, the production of so-called “Green” machinery and energy devices consumes prodigious amounts of materials and produces an incredibly excess amount of waste, beyond all expectation or general awareness, and
- America is dependent on unreliable foreign sources for too many of the critical minerals needed for manufacturing eco-efficient products, yet despite our huge mineral reserves, we don’t make the requisite effort to recover and produce our own uninterruptable supply.
Let’s look at each broad point a little more closely:
It is phenomenally wasteful and costly to manufacture Green devices
Their manufacture ends up being a net loser, both economically and environmentally. From the report: ............To Read More.....
