[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3582691, member: 24500"] The big difference there is though, after finalizing a product, the emissions reach their end in renewability where as fossil fuels still require further burning to produce the energy. I know you won't take my word for it, and most likely won't believe every scientific journal that has written on the topic, but the average windmill, at 90 times less emission per kwh, pays back the carbon footprint of manufacture, transport, and construction within it's first year. Most of which hit that point in 3-9 months. They may sell it to a discerning public as the green alternative, but it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. EV's, renewables, etc... are less to do with saving the earth and more to do with a 21st century energy boom. No different than the 1900's oil booms. There's a decent record of people talking about how motor carriages would never replace horse and rail. It's odd how things are so cyclical over the years. [/QUOTE]
