Many people assume, "green", "renewable" energy sources (wind & solar specifically) will someday replace fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) as the only sources of energy powering the planet. This is a pipe dream fed to the world daily. It simply cannot be done

Thread...
Renewable energy sources and accompanying farms, by design, rely on technologies that are themselves powered by fossil fuels. Yes, "clean" energy sources actually depend on "dirty" coal, crude oil and gas to function. This goes for electric cars too...
You see, electric cars may not emit CO2 exhaust fumes, but they are charged from the conventional electricity grid which as expected, itself uses coal. So you need to burn even more coal to feed the increasing electric cars on the road...
General Motors started producing what they refer to as a "perpetual energy battery". According to them, this clean hydrogen car battery gets its energy from "any hydrocarbon source", by burning gas or "any petroleum-based oil product". Clean and dirty at the very same time
Solar panels and wind turbines

This is how these panels and wind/solar farms are constructed
Many of us have been led to believe that what you need to run a solar farm with hundreds of solar panels is a stretch of desert. That deserts can be sacrificed for power renewable power generation because deserts are "dead"
The thing is, there is no reason to believe green energy can save the planet. So, why have environmentalists focused solely on green technologies as the solution to the destruction and depletion of the planet's natural resources? One word: DELUSION
Green energy groups insist renewables can replace coal plants because for instance in Australia "renewables could at times supply 75% of electricity in the national electricity market by 2025", and that one Aussie state "could get 89% of its power from solar and wind"...
Other examples of countries which are said to have seen "success" in replacing coal with "green" energy, are Iceland and New Zealand
Firstly, Australia has some of the lowest population densities in the world. It's ranked 192 out of 194 countries. What this means is they have vast tracts of empty land they can afford to use for land-hungry solar & wind farms. Just try doing what they do anywhere else
Iceland has 300 000 people
New Zealand has fewer people than Johannesburg

Nothing to see here
The truth is that what environmentalists call "green renewable energy" is not about eliminating fossil fuels and thus saving the environment. It's about saving the Western way of life, which is the same reason fossil fuels have been used in the first place
Following the Western way of life has led to a situation where humans are using too much of the Earths's finite natural resources, a situation that cannot be reversed. Thus, all these green movements are simply desperate attempts to "stop the count" of resource depletion
Instead of looking to cut back - reduce consumption - the West is looking for ways to maintain its lifestyle, but it simply cannot be done. So, they are left with only one option:
Many "conspiracy theorists" assume that the wealthy want to kill billions of us because we're annoying and they're evil and they worship the Devil

No, they NEED to reduce the planet's population because they just love their lifestyle. They simply cannot fathom any change to it
The only options left:

1. Continue on this path of overconsumption & ruin, and face extinction, soon

2. Reduce the planet's population considerably

3. Reduce consumption considerably

The West has chosen option 2

How they plan on doing this would anger Twitter, so I can't say
