RE: How Clean is "Green Energy?"
Interesting post. Some similar points I brought up (as a nano-/picoplankon) in a post a few weeks back. Nevertheless, externalities need to be taken into consideration.
What are the costs of the mining for the solar panel and battery components? What are the costs of disposing of the solar panels or batteries, or to recycle these components? All of this needs to be taken into account when determining just how much things really cost (both in terms of $ and the environment and the workers that do the work to make this energy possible). Interesting post.
I also wonder about as a community if @steemstem we should be thinking about doing an internal literature review here order to use the blockchain to reference and cross-reference "first in" on ideas posted on this blockchain, etc. I may follow up with a post on this. Thanks!
Ah yes! I do recall that article. I believe posting about similar topics is inevitable but I might have some ideas to work with that. It sounds like an interesting concept and I'll make sure to check out your post about it to join the discussion there ;)
Here is a link to the post I just published. Enjoy...
With the caveat that of course there is going to be repetition. There are really no hard and fast rules here...
