The Big Renewable Energy Myth You Need To Stop Believing

The consequences of climate change and the benefits of clean energy have both been well established, and clean energy is having a bit of a moment. Wind and solar reached an all-time high for global electricity generation in 2021. In fact, renewable energy for the year accounted for 38% of the total global supply, and wind and solar were reported to be the fastest-growing sectors, according to an independent energy think-tank. Despite the evidence in its favor and its widespread adoption, clean energy skepticism and myths still proliferate. This is the big renewable energy myth you need to stop believing.

Guys, please stop spreading lies about how good renewables are. For the beginning I would stop calling it green and not only because of the pollution during production of the equipment, but also for the recycling and do not forget the impact on the environment in general. Also solar is actually producing electricity between 10% to 30% of the time. Sure, you are right that there are occasional outages with other types of power plants. But not even near, I would say 10% downtime is already exaggerated time. So stop

Numbers? Scale of these projects? This is way too superficial to be convincing
