True but we don't hear such atrocities committed in producing electricity. I am talking of large scale human exploitation not just the environment. Though I must admit the coal mining is heavily exploited in poorer countries.
- philipov 9y agoYes, if you don't hear about it, you can be comfortable that it doesn't exist.
- sfifs 9y agoEver heard of mass forced migration for hydroelectric projectsa and air pollution in cities from coal burning causing asthma
- deepGem 9y agoForced migration != slavery, forced prostitution and mercury poisoning of drinking water. Yes, I am well aware how electricity generation degrades the environment, but there is a ray of hope that renewables will kick in and take some or most of that degradation away. I don't see such a line of sight for the issues raised in that article.
