    “net zero” just means you don’t elect for the far more environmentally destructive method of burning fossil fuels

    also, it seems the jury’s still out on offshore turbines’ environmental impact. some say it creates artificial reefs while some say its tons of noise disrupt marine life

      Net zero organisations have shown a clear agenda against nuclear, which is ironic considering it’s the cleanest and most reliable power generation method, as well as taking up the smallest footprint with the least environmental disruption. “Net zero” in reality means “renewables” only.

      Offshore turbines require insane amounts of concrete, steel, oil, and non renewable non recyclable materials not just to make, but to maintain. There’s also no doubt about them altering the ecosystems around them, and not for the better. They also aren’t even a viable option in most countries.
