How Clean Energy Actually Destroys The Environment And Fuels Abuse

The global drive to replace fossil fuels with climate-friendly energy alternatives has powered demand for rare earth minerals used in electric vehicle batteries and wind turbines, with major U.S. companies importing rare earths from Asia. In Myanmar, the process of mining these rare earths has produced environmental damage and human rights abuses, an Associated Press investigation found.

Chinese firms took advantage of the exploding rare earths industry until the government in 2012 tightened regulations on domestic mining, both to prevent deforestation from the mines and maintain Chinese reserves to help it stay competitive against the U.S., the investigation, dated Aug. 9, found. In response, the companies moved to mines in nearby Myanmar, where the government-backed militant groups in control allowed them to disrupt local economies and feed global supply chains for eager Western buyers.

“The cash that fuels these abuses ultimately comes from the world’s fast-growing demand for these minerals, driven by the scaling up of green energy technologies,” said Clare Hammond, a senior researcher at Global Witness, told the AP.

Myanmar’s jungle is now pocked by roughly 2,700 mines that have poisoned the country’s rivers, driven away endangered species and destroyed land-based jobs, the AP found. Militant groups in Myanmar seized land from villagers, and revenue from rare earth exports funnels to Myanmar’s junta government that is under international investigation for human rights abuses.

“It reminds me of the European colonial attitudes towards Africa,” a Chinese industry analyst told the AP. “You just can’t be relying on third-world-type mining practices in a dictatorship like Myanmar. It’s not sustainable.”

WUT? Who would have guessed there might be a down side? I'll tell you who. Felony deniers that's who.

Not a big fan of Hannity but he did himself a favor and had Charles Payne last week.

Payne breaks down exactly what’s going on with this BS green energy bill and EVs and it’s worse than I thought.....a TOTAL scam that’s actually worse for the environment than ICE vehicles could ever be.

Start at the 1:20 mark

Unbelievable

First of all, the term “Fossil Fuel” was created by the Rockefellers to feign scarcity, and boost prices. The Earth creates natural gas within its core and mantle. We need to change that narrative, it is Earth Fuel, it is limitless and is God’s way of ensuring that man (and life of many forms) can exist in a temperate climate. We must never accept the Green Nazis’ premise. It is wrong.

They want to completely destroy our way of life. So we need to destroy THEM.

Its been a scam from the start. Pretty obvious the promoters of the whole load of 🐎💩 have never tried to perform even simple tasks in freezing conditions.

Here’s another theory (mine, and perhaps other thinkers... ;)

Oil has to be pulled out of the ground.

Not doing so will cause massive catastrophes.

Oil is being created naturally. Oil accumulates causes massive tectonic plate slides within the Earth. Accumulated oil will also cause major catastrophes due to the tectonic plates heating up and burning that oil, and that is witnessed by the massive volcanoes that emit energy and massive amounts of lava and smoke and other elements that cause breathing problems and deaths.

Oil will ease tectonic plate movements, and that movement cause alteration of the earth’s landscapes and will also change bodies of water. Thus, whether we like it or not, oil has to be removed from the ground in order to save the planet and allow humans and all lifeforms to thrive.

Leaving oil in the ground will be a lot more destructive to the climate than using it.

Libtards don’t care about lithium mines slave labor and environmental destruction as long as they’re ‘saving the planet’

Yes - they really are that stupid

So basically it helped lube the tetonic plates allowing Pangea to split up and slide around? Lets start calling it “TECLUBE”. They’ll never catch on. 🛢️👍 Anyone ask them about the Western Interior Seaway? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Interior_Seaway Or, complain about the loss of glaciers? From Yosemite and NYC and Chicago. Blank stares available.
