As long as the mining activity was by informed consent, i.e. no slavery explicit nor implicit, any life and healthcost of mining, recycling and disposal is incurred with informed consent...
- nobodyandproud 6y agoThe effects of mining and disposal don’t disappear after one generation, and solar and wind is not a solution that works for all climates and regions. The multi-generational ethical problems you’ve constructed apply to oil; gas; solar; windmills; nuclear. To put it another way: There is no free lunch, but some sources like gas and oil must be reduced. Of that there is no doubt. The unethical choice is to outright disregard other proven solutions because of unfounded fear and doubt, and leave an irreversible disaster for the next generation.
