    This is true, but the reason isn’t the lack of alternatives but incompetent and corrupt state and federal government.

    That may be, but that doesn’t change the fact that we have a short window to move off fossils and renewables aren’t being deployed at the scale that’s necessary.

    Also worth noting that the blades from wind turbines have a relatively short lifecycle and need to be constantly replaced which itself contributes to the problem https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-02-06/wind-turbine-blades

    Energy production has to be looked at in a holistic sense of total inputs and outputs.
