Now, go out into the corners of the internet and ask the question “how many barrels of oil does it take to build a single wind turbine”. Then do nuclear power plants. How about just one tire?
You’d be pretty shocked to find that the only thing that has supported the meteoric rise of our population has been plentiful and cheap petroleum. Renewables can slow things down in the short term, and they certainly make people feel better about themselves, but there is no replacement for oil. All of the renewables are made of oil. Shit loads of it.
This is all good stuff.
