You're making it sound like solar and wind cause a net increase in fossil fuels because there are non-renewables involved in their manufacture, but that's simply not a true statement.
- bra-ket 6y agoso do you use a magic wand to bootstrap that manufacturing process?
- sfkdjf9j3j 6y agoNo, you use some non-renewables to make solar panels, which then - over their lifetime - replace more non-renewable energy than they cost to make.
- ncmncm 6y agoAs the renewable fraction of power production increases, the amount of greenhouse gas released in production of new renewables decreases. Something similar might be true of nuclear, except that emissions per ton of concrete are not going down.
