It’s all about energy density. Nuclear is the answer. @dorfman_p

Yep, climate catastrophism is not only a secular religion* that defies all science, it's irrational Net Zero crusade is trashing the environment & hugely harming society too. Yet preached endlessly by elites, this blind new faith lumbers ever onward & has millions of believers! * For a formal proof that climate catastrophism is indeed a secular religion, which defies all climate science, even the mainstream/IPCC, follow the link in my profile; paperback and free PDF.

"It's not just global warming, it is the fact that we are transforming the makeup of the environment around us, and it's becoming less hospitable for us."

This is the truth of net zero, the media nudge units want us to believe and eagerly buy these new “enviro friendly” battery products, a billionaire will be at the end of the money tree taking the profits, being a trillionaire is better 👍🏻

Interesting and somewhat worrying stats. Can you provide a data source please ?

They are going to need more African child slave labour to dig that lot up...

To reach net zero by 2050, we would need to mine 4.5 million tons of copper, 940 million tons of nickel, 9 billion tons of graphite, and 4 million tons of germanium. At today's mining rates, that would take over 1,000 years. Net zero is never going to happen.

WIND TURBINES - The truth isn’t clean or green. This was once to be a beautiful lake, now it’s just hundreds of km of toxic sludge … after mining rare earth Neodymium. A 2 MW wind turbine is made up of: ▪️260 tons of steel requiring ▪️300 tons of iron ore ▪️170 tons of coking coal ▪️ rare earths including Praseodymium (Pr), Neodymium (Nd), Terbium (Tb), and Dysprosium (Dy) ▪️fibre glass ▪️resin ▪️plastic ▪️aluminium …. all mined & produced using hydrocarbons. And all leaving a trail of destruction as they are mined, extracted and manufactured. So we can pretend we’ve saved the planet 🤡

Reaching Net Zero by 2050 would require mining 4.5 million tons of copper, 940 million tons of nickel, 9 billion tons of graphite, and 4 million tons of germanium. At current global mining rates, that scale of extraction would take more than 1,000 years. Mining capacity cannot be multiplied by orders of magnitude in just 24 years. Permitting timelines alone are measured in decades, and energy inputs rise as deposits degrade. Most constraints are physical, not political. Net Zero targets violate material reality. They're never going to happen.

To build the renewables needed to achieve Net Zero by 2050, at current production rates, it would take... • nearly 10,000 years to mine enough lithium • more than 7,000 years for enough vanadium • over 1,700 years for cobalt, • 400 years for nickel • and almost 200 years for the copper Even if hundreds of thousands of new mines opened tomorrow, we'd still run out of reserves long before reaching the goal. Global copper reserves are estimated at 800 million tons, but what's required for Net Zero is a whopping 4,500 billion tons. Likewise with nickel, reserves are 95 million tons, but we'll need 940 million. And for lithium, reserves stand at just 22 million tons, but 944 million is needed. The math doesn't lie. Net Zero isn't a plan. It's a fantasy.

Compared with conventional technologies, wind power requires vastly more raw materials for the same installed capacity. Up to 15 times more concrete, 90 times more aluminum, and around 50 times more iron, copper and glass. Each 2 megawatt turbine uses about 1700 tons of material, around 1300 tons of concrete, nearly 300 tons of steel, plus iron, fiberglass and copper. The foundation alone uses hundreds of tons of concrete. Concrete is one of the world's largest CO2 sources, responsible for 8% of global emissions. Then there are the rare earths. Just one ton of rare earth elements generates 2000 tons of toxic waste. Worse still, all of this ends up in landfill every 15 to 20 years, with the entire process repeated. Wind is not the clean energy it is sold to be.

It would take 3.7 trillion pounds of materials to generate half of U.S. electricity with 1,095,000 2 MW wind turbines. Each turbine requires 1,671 tons of material: 1,300 tons concrete, 295 tons steel, 48 tons iron, 24 tons fiberglass, 4 tons copper, 0.4 tons neodymium, and 0.065 tons dysprosium, replaced every 15-20 years. Mining and ore processing, is the second most polluting industry in the world, releasing acid rain and heavy metals into land, water, and air. Extracting and processing dispersed minerals consumes significant fossil fuel energy. Billions more tons of materials are needed for transmission, power plants, and utility-scale batteries, also replaced every 15-20 years. The green energy dream remains just that—a dream.

ELON: STARSHIP 3 WILL HAVE A CAPACITY OF OVER 200 TONS TO ORBIT “Inevitably, the rocket grows in height. Currently, Flight 3 would be around 40 or 50 tons to orbit, the current design. Starship 2 will be over 100 tons and then Starship 3 will be over 200 tons. It's going from around 7,000 tons thrust to over 8,000. I think we'll end up ultimately with more than 10,000 tons of thrust, probably 7,000 or 8,000 tons of lift-off mass. And at least 10 meters taller, we'll see. It tends to grow.” Source: SpaceX All-Hands, April 2024

Humans have mined 700 million tons of copper in all of history. We need the same again in just 20 years to hit “net zero”. oh look it’s at near record prices ‘Saving the planet’ is very profitable … as long as taxpayers continue to fund it 💣

Energy expert Dr. Lars Schernikau: It sounds simple… until you do the math. • 1 GWh battery = 700,000 tons of mined materials • Takes 450 GWh to build (450x its capacity) • Stores as much as 400 tons of coal Hours of storage. Massive mining, degradation & risks. This doesn’t fix intermittency, it multiplies the destruction. ‘Batteries are an environmental nightmare’.
