Solar energy is not dense, so solar panel collectors cover huge areas of flat land, stealing farmland, and starving grasses and plants of sunlight. They create “solar panel deserts”. Wind turbines steal energy from winds, which bring moisture inland from the ocean. Walls of turbines create "rain shadows", producing more rain near the turbines, and more droughts down-wind.
Wind turbines kill insects, creating fresh food which attracts birds and bats. Who get chopped up too. Creating fresh food that attracts bigger birds, who get chopped up too. Wind turbines also work best along ridge lines where eagles seek thermals, so they get chopped up. Wind turbines also annoy neighbors with infrasonic noise. "Walls" of wind towers offshore cause less wind and rain to reach the shore.
The UN promotes hacking down trees in America, and shipping wood pellets across the Atlantic to burn in European "biomass" (wood burning) power stations! Forests are cleared in Indonesia and Brazil to grow palm oil for bio-diesel fuel. Food grains are distilled to make ethanol fuel for motor vehicles. Nothing 'green' about any of this.
'Green dreamers" now want to use our water to manufacture hydrogen, using an electrolytic process that consumes far more energy than it can ever produce. Electrolysis consumes nine tonnes of water, and requires lots of electricity, to make one tonne of hydrogen. This processed water is not recovered until the hydrogen is burned (unlike water in steam turbines where most water is reused, and some escapes to the atmosphere via cooling towers -- the "white smoke" that climate alarmists want you to think is pollution, rather than harmless water vapor). Hydrogen is a low-energy explosive gas. Collecting, storing and exporting it will be hazardous.
Green Energy is not green:
Mining rare metals is not green
Solar panels create solar deserts.
Wind turbines chop birds and
steal wind and rain from inland areas.
Hydrogen production requires
fresh water and energy to
get low-energy explosive hydrogen.
Burning fossil fuels for energy,
using modern pollution controls,
releases water vapor, and
carbon dioxide plant food.
