Paved in copper? The "renewable energy" hoax

Climate kids in London, happily oblivious to copper mining situation

Paved in copper

The above is a laudatory article from 2016 about renewable energy. Curiously, the article admits that wind, solar and electric cars need copper wiring - and lots of it - to work. 

What the article doesn´t say is where the copper is mined...

How about poor Third World nations such as the Congo or Zambia? Or supposedly pristine wilderness areas such as Lapland in Sweden and Finland...

The radical Greens who want wind and solar, also want to save the Sami, the Natives of Lapland, and the pristine wilderness. I assume they don´t want to super-exploit Africa, either.

In other words, the math doesn´t add up. 

Just as a side point, I also noticed that the radical Greens oppose hunting of wolves, bears and foxes. So when the chips are down, they are not particularly pro-Sami either. The Sami want the predators gone, since they threaten their reindeer flocks... 

Being a radical Green can´t be easy. Which may or may not explain why they want to legalize cannabis!

And no, I´m not a brownlash cornucopian. I´m just the old grumpy guy in the background pointing out what we are really up against.
