what·a·bout·ism
/ˌ(h)wədəˈboudizəm/
noun BRITISH
the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.
what does "beef" have to do with converting land to wind farms?
perhaps you could respond back with how solar panels are not actually very environmentally friendly? They produce a lot of toxic chemicals to manufacture.
Tell us, to replace 3,500 MW of nuclear power, how many acres of land must be converted to wind/solar? what is the environmental/social impact of doing this?
How much power is produced in a cold / dark winter via solar/wind vs nuclear.
- wizofaus 4y agoThere's plenty of studies done comparing the footprint of nuclear to solar/wind, generally they show they're more or less equivalent, depending on what you measure and various assumptions built into the study - at least one IPCC study showed nuclear could have a measurably (up to 4x!) lower carbon footprint than solar. At any rate there's certainly no real reason to object to nuclear on environmental grounds (but on economical grounds, terrorism risk, plutonium proliferation, etc., sure, there are downsides that don't really exist with renewables).
