@peterwalker58 @HellkvistJorg @PGDynes Greenwashed energy has high initial carbon footprint but achieves parity at a later stage. EROI for solar is only 3 so can provide only enough energy for solar cells to be rebuilt after 1/3 of lifespan. https://t.co/

@KarlPfleger @AMelhede @elonmusk Malthus is a straw man argument at this point. The 'innovation' argument is essentially the 'technology will save us' argument, which ignores limits to growth and the resources such technology demands among other problems.
