Reply to comment by Thialase in New licensing round for oil and gas exploration in the North Sea "good for the environment” insists UK climate minister by WilliamMorris420
Nothing is good for the environment. What’s the alternative, solar panels assembled by slaves in China (which produces more greenhouse gasses than all other countries combined)?
Lithium battery storage with cobalt mined by African child slaves?
Wind farms made with petroleum products that fail after a few years?
Cutting down Forrest’s to make wood pellets to burn for heat?
Burning coal?
Pick your poison or turn off your ac / heat and walk everywhere if you want to virtue signal. You can’t escape it no matter how many cow farts you prevent.
Maybe if fusion becomes possible or everyone installs nuclear power plants we’ll be green, but that’s too logical.

You can literally apply that excuse to any kind of sustainable energy. It's just a weak strawman.
