For decades people pointed out how toxic solar production & waste were but

- biased news media refused to investigate

- solar industry spread misinformation through @NRDC @SierraClub @Greenpeace

- @BlackRock @IRENA et al manipulated analyses

PROOF

But there are no more excuses

Genocide & actual environmental justice is at stake

If you're capable of watching this video, then you're capable of understanding the inherently physical reason that renewables have massively negative environmental impacts

Energy-dense fuels require far less in the way of materials, and produces far less in the way of waste, compared to energy-dilute solar and wind

We think of solar panels as clean but there is no plan to deal with their toxic waste

The climate scolds who demand we "listen to the science!" have been actively ignoring and denying the science of power density, which anyone with Google Maps and middle-school arithmetic can do in 5 minutes by drawing a line around power plants

I have encouraged mainstream environmental journalists to compare land use and power density of energy sources for a decade. For a combination of ideological and personal reasons, many are former English or journalism majors who are intimidated even by arithmetic, few have.

I wrote Apocalypse Never as an "Environmental Studies 101" for students, journalists, and policymakers

Bernadette, Suparti & Helen from Congo, Indonesia, & Berkeley tell the story of rising energy consumption, rising prosperity, & rising power density
