The mining isn’t entirely the bad part of coal. Mining can be contained it is a local pollutant. Burning it is the real issue. And fiberglass and solar panels are both made of silicon. One of the most abundant minerals on the planet it isn’t hard to get and mining it doesn’t create the same kind of drainage as coal mining.
Hydroelectric is not the be all end all solution. It is highly local and has long term consequences to water ways, solar and wind are far superior in terms of environmental impact.
Please please please can we just use type safe languages.
Have you send the ash lakes and ponds from industrial waste from coal power plants? Have breathed in the smoke as it fills the valleys of the mountains of your home state? Have you watched as rivers died from oxygen depletion? A couple tons of fiberglass is nothing compared to the shear desolation of carbon fuels. It’s easily contained.
There is a paradox known as the “tolerance paradox”. The basic premise is “should you tolerate the intolerant” while at first it may seem complex it’s really simple. No you should not. Those who call for violence on other deserve the boot. That is the difference between the left and the right. The right punishes those they deem ill fit to live in society. Forcefully. The left accepts, but are not push overs. Those who oppress deserve oppression.
They have done the studies, it’s not. You can google to find them, I was going to pull them up for you but I’m out of my home country and I haven’t been able to access some sites for some reason.
Wind and especially solar produce a ton of energy. Some references I found stated a replacement rate of only a year for a wind turbine. Also you don’t need to use diesel to mine. Battery and electric operated heavy machinery are already in use.
