“Costs are neglectable”. So will the bank forgive my loan on renewables? How silly are these comments?

Which renewables are currently decreasing in cost? Inflation is driving prices way up and making the world dependent on China. It takes a half million pounds of mined earth to build one electric car battery. Most windmills take more resource than they actually produce in their life span. Solar panels require mining and a huge percentage are produced in regions of China that use forced labor. So which renewable source or sources are you saying are a “no brainer?”

Right. You’re saying it’s a no brainer to transition to renewables but I’m curious which renewables you see as a “no brainer” given that most require investment.

What kind of renewable energy is cheapest to produce? Most require large up front investments and lots of mining for batteries (energy storage) and solar panels and things of that nature. Curious what you see as the cheapest easiest way to produce clean energy.

How much battery production does Europe have? Does Europe mine any raw material for batteries and solar panels or are they becoming completely reliant on China for those necessities?

You’ll just be in debt your whole life often giving your home as collateral so you’ll be unable to move or pay for kids college or other necessities but I get what you’re saying. If you’re willing to go into debt and sacrifice other things for it (and you’re fortunate enough to get approved for a loan) then sure.
