yep. has the feel of corporate propaganda.

Why do you say that? Is clean technology investment not a better plan than carbon burning tech? Just curious

When you see that most "renewable energy" infrastructure is owned by oil companies... then it seems more obvious.

We still create massive carbon emissions to produce these "clean" energy solutions, which don't yield much energy output compared to their alternatives and use highly toxic materials to create, which ultimately end up as hazardous waste. In addition, the amount of land that has to be cleared for solar farms in comparison to their energy output is madness compared to that of a nuclear power plant, which produces less toxic waste for more energy output. This isn't a "clean" energy solution. This is an energy alternative that corporations and investors push as "clean" to market it and make money with. Many people only read the bold print of the headlines and never read anything beyond that.

The results of this will take years if not decades to notice it.

At some point soon, growth must stop. There is no such thing as clean manufacturing.

Sometimes this sub feels like a propaganda wing of an old industry trying on new pants.
