Is the environmental impact of creating synthic quartz greater than using fossil fuels?
Steel is made of carbon. Cement is made of carbon.
We live in a carbon world.
Aaaand, WE are carbon-based creatures. (And Carbon Dioxide is essentially plant food).
So, carbon isn't bad?
What’s it take to make synthetic quartz?
The elephant in the room?
All life on Earth is carbon based. The most efficient way for energy transition is letting the market determine what’s best. Throwing trillions of $$$ of other peoples’ money into a black hole is not progress, it’s theft..
