its the same shit with "green" energy sources, people make huge pushes for things like solar farms because they have no operating cost to the environment, but they all forget about the life cycle cost. For a solar farm to even put out any meaningful amount of energy it requires a large area of land, which often means cutting down forests to make room for these solar farms, on top of the pollution required to make the panels, and the pollution of their disposal are all really harsh to the environment basically nullifying their low pollution operating cost. our best option is literally nuclear at the moment but people have decided that is incorrect and another solution must be found because creating a harmful radioactive waste is clearly evil even though there have been methods of storing it in a 100% safe way for years.
