...generations.
We should be sure to hand out lots of graphics about all the wilderness we can trash for solar and wind industrial plants because we're just SWIMMING in copper!!!!!!!
Every time, I point out to an antinuke or an "I'm not an antinuke" antinuke the environmental material cost of their antinuke fantasies, they come at me with "NO PROBLEM!!! LIAR!!!! LIAR!!! PANTS ON FIRE!!!"
This happened a few years back with a real honest to Yahweh or Allah antinuke when I spoke about the limits on indium availability.
My wife and I attended an event with the producers of the movie Unearth by two fishing brothers trying to protect a salmon producing reserve in Alaska. They won when Joe Biden was President.
WORLD PREMIERE In the pristine Bristol Bay area of Alaska, two sets of siblings are alarmed when they learn of plans for the proposed Pebble Mine in the vicinity of their homes. The Salmon sisters, Native Alaskans, work on the regulatory front – pushing the federal EPA to block the project, and remaining hyper-vigilant to political pressures that could shift at any moment. The Strickland brothers, independent fishermen who know they could be just one mine accident away from losing their livelihood, probe closed-door meetings to expose the truth behind what the developer tells the public. Together, the Salmons and the Stricklands remind us never to quit until Goliath has fallen. – Jaie Laplante
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with co-directors and film subjects Auberin Strickland and Dune Strickland, director, producer, and cinematographer John Hunter Nolan, producer and impact producer Gina Papabeis, and film subjects AlexAnna Salmon and Christina Salmon. The second screening will be followed by a Q&A with John Hunter Nolan, Gina Papabeis, and producer Eyal Levy.
All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
They're sure to lose now. Bristol Bay will be replaced by a huge hole, declared "green."
One of the cool things the Strickland Brothers got on video, included in the film, was the owners of the mining company telling everyone about how great the mines would be for so called "renewable energy."
Consider me unimpressed with the graphs and charts. I'm an environmentalist of the type who believes we should do everything in our power to protect wilderness, not mine the fuck out of it and industrialize it.
That is why I support nuclear energy. It's mass and land efficient, and it need not depend on fossil fuels. It's every thing solar and wind junk isn't and can never be, sustainable, protective of wilderness, clean, and minimized against all other systems for dependence on fossil fuels.
Got it?
No?
Why am I not surprised?
Of course, the antinukes have won their case, and what a prize to show for it: Holes, fires, droughts alternating with extreme floods, on and on and on.
I'd advise anyone who gives a shit to watch the film. If one doesn't give a shit, one can always post charts and graphs about the world's huge supply of copper.
As for the Chinese authors of the paper cited in the OP, someone should send them some charts and graphs to dismiss their concerns.
I'm not impressed, but maybe they will be.
