Everything they say about renewables is wrong
Solar requires 17x more mining, 300x waste, & ~400x more land
All industrial wind & solar, like all biofuels, are an ecological nightmare
The rich impose renewables on poor — & kill nuclear — in a feudal fantasy

"Nuclear is the cleanest, cheapest & safest so why is it declining? Environmentalists have convinced people nuclear is dirty, expensive, and dangerous. But, why? 'Opposition to the new fuel usually comes from the wealthy.'"

"Big oil has been pouring money into Democratic politicians and environmental conservation groups like the Sierra Club for decades. In exchange, these groups play up fears around nuclear, while pushing hard for solar and wind."
"How do solar & wind benefit oil companies? Despite recent advances, these technologies provide an unreliable, diffuse source of energy. If the wind dies or the sun goes down (or winter arrives), power generation decreases or stops. Steady stopgap is needed to prevent brownouts"
"Enter natural gas. The more we depend on solar and wind, the more we need natural gas and the more oil companies stand to gain."
Meanwhile, Germany’s renewables experiment is over
By 2025 it will have spent $580B to make electricity nearly 2x more expensive & 10x more carbon-intensive than France’s
Renewables can’t power modern civilization is because they were never meant to
