    Renewables don’t make money they cost money. They generate revenue because of subsidies and because manufacturing green energy technology is a dirty and extremely lucrative business. The part they dont tell you is that if u wana make solar panels u need to destroy the environment to do it. If u wana build a windmill its millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of precious minerals strip mined out of the earth. Thats your profit.

      Literally any piece of equipment manufactured today requires “precious minerals strip mined out of the earth.” You’re saying “renewables cause enviromental harm” while ignoring that literally ANY energy source causes environmental harm. WTF is your point?
