The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

I feel like this hugely simplifies zero carbon energy capture as “consequence-free.” The mining and refinement of heavy metals en masse (required for virtually all energy capture) with very little planned infrastructure to recycle those metals leaves immense waste and pollutes waterways. I feel like this acknowledges the single narrative of climate change being the only problem. “Less” of everything really is the only way to ensure a viable future for humans as far as I can see.
