Definitely a very important documentary!
I suffer with these people when the Greta generation MUST see changes during their lives. Do they have to shine with their false halo on their heads and think they have done something good for the world?
How damn hard can it be to use PET instead of balsa? If you want your damn windmills, start by finding "sustainable" material !! But ignore it ... if people suffer and the rainforest is devastated, everything is fine as long as you get to show off among politicians and celebrities and rake in money at so-called charity galas !! Fy fan!
Thanks for the video! Much appreciated !!
Thank you for inviting me to this premiere
Thanks for coming!
Tienes que mostrar esa película otra vez. Es tiempo. Gracias
This goes well beyond the raw materials for wind turbines, both mineral and plant-based. The vast, ugly sprawl of the finished product is obscenely anti-environmental, and it's taken decades for Greens to admit that it's just industrial business as usual. Nuclear power has a much smaller footprint and is safer than it used to be, though it was never that terrible, dinged by bad designs in poor locations.
Gods love is all we use to create solutions 🥰😻🥰
Transition away from coal and gas ? It is clear that this will never happen.
Are they using balsa wood then? To build turbine towers.
Why not invest in sustainable planting. Since balsa wood grows very quickly?
Even if growing balsa wood could be done better, the vast sprawl of the final product is obscenely anti-environmental. It's taken decades for Greens to admit that Big Wind is industrial business as usual. If you don't know the current and future planned scale, look up the 2050 Princeton Andlinger Net-Zero America map, and that's just on one continent.
Thats why i eat more BEEF
It's always the free market in-between, where the businesses pressured/funded by investors will see land defenders and environmental protesters as a nuesance to be neutralized in order to achieve the cheapest and shortest return on investment.
