The Wastefulness of Eco-Piety

Read the whole thing:

WIND-SOLAR-BATTERY machines exist solely to "save" CO2. Yet their production incurs CO2. So, a baseline question is how much is the "carbon debt" incurred in producing the CO2-saving machine.  ...

SO much so that the published, peer-reviewed estimates of the "embedded" CO2 in a simple EV battery vary from each other by as much as 600%. Imagine a court of law where the expert opinions were 600% apart. The highest estimate equated the EV with a gasoline car. ...

Now imagine buying an EV whose creation has already released as much CO2, even before the first charge, compared to a gasoline car over its lifetime. What is the truth? Nobody knows. ...

Fortunately for EV manufacturers and their political buddies, but unfortunately for us as the newest Theranos shareholders, nobody cares because science and facts don't matter in their fantasy world detached from objective reality.
