The historical record is unkind to the climate alarmists and the apologists of industrial wind and solar forcing (via government activism). A periodic look back at the litany of emotional, rash judgements is merited. A small sampling follows.
“Two weeks ago, I looked at the question of the anxiety that the climate crisis is causing our psyches. But, if you think about it, there’s an equally interesting question regarding the human mind: How is it that some people, or corporations, can knowingly perpetuate the damage? Or, as people routinely ask me, “Don’t they have grandchildren?” ( – Bill McKibben, “The Climate Crisis,” May 19, 2021)
Comment: Just maybe consumer welfare, taxpayer welfare, and energy freedom deserve a seat at the policy table. And maybe preventing mass industrialization of the living space by wind and solar projects is an ecological good.…
“We are literally filling the scars of the fossil fuel age with the waste of the renewable age. ‘Net Zero’ cannot mean ‘Net Landfill’.” (- Blue Oceans Solutions, below)
Blue Oceans Solutions is concerned. “If you drive deep enough into the high desert near Casper, Wyoming,” their post states, “you will find a burial ground that shouldn’t exist.”
It isn’t for people. It’s for the “clean energy” revolution. Rows of massive, fiberglass wind turbine blades—cut into thirds with diamond-encrusted saws—are being stacked thirty feet deep in the earth. From the air, they look like the bleached rib cages of leviathans.
Continuing:
…We built wind turbines to save the future, but we forgot to design them for the end. While 85% of a turbine (steel, copper, electronics) is highly recyclable, the blades are not.

The philosophical school of deep ecology does not separate humans from nature and recognizes the intrinsic values of all living beings, can provide an ideal philosophical and spiritual context for the new scientific paradigm.
