"As a miner for XX years I have worked in various mines around the world. Gold platinum copper coal lead zinc oil and salt. I'm going to tell you something and here it is. We will destroy the earth in the name of "Green Energy" Follow along and I will explain. 🧵"

"The U.S. generates over X million gigawatts of electricity annually. Solar panels with a X GW capacity require about XXXX tons of silver 3380 tons of polysilicon and 10252 tons of aluminum. This equates to 74000000 tons of silver 13520000000 tons of polysilicon and 41008000000 tons of aluminum. At the current silver mining rate of 26000 tons per year it would take 2846.15 years . In 2023 global polysilicon production was about XXX million tons and aluminum production was XXXXX million tons annually. In theory Elon Musk is correct but in reality it's impossible. I hope this puts to rest Elons"

"Net zero is a myth: At current production rates it would take 9921 years for lithium 7101 years for vanadium 1733 years for cobalt XXX years for nickel and XXX years for copper to build renewables to replace fossil fuels by 2050. Even if hundreds of thousands of mines were opened it takes XX years on average and all reserves would be depleted. Copper has XXX million tonnes of reserves but 4575 billion tonnes are needed. Nickel has XX million tonnes with XXX million tonnes required. Lithium has XX million tonnes with XXX million tonnes needed"

"Lithium is an ecological disaster. It takes 500000 gallons of water to produce one ton of lithium. Most lithium is in dry areas and mining companies are using up the groundwater leaving nothing for farmers to irrigate their crops with while chemical leaks from lithium mines have poisoned thousands of miles of rivers killing entire freshwater ecosystems"

"Electric vehicles show the highest toxicity on ecosystems and human health. Over their lifespan they will produce more of every major category of pollutants than conventional cars including an increase in fine particulate matter formation (26%) human carcinogenic (20%) and non-carcinogenic toxicity (61%) terrestrial ecotoxicity (31%) freshwater ecotoxicity (39%) and marine ecotoxicity (41%) relative to fossil fueled vehicles.

"Do you think Net Zero can be achieved Here's what we're up against. In terms of final energy uses and specific energy converters the unfolding transition would have to replace more than X terawatts (TW) of electricity-generating capacity now installed in large coal- and gas-fired stations by converting to non-carbon sources; to substitute nearly XXX billion combustion (gasoline and diesel) engines in road and off-road vehicles; to convert all agricultural and crop processing machinery (including about XX million tractors and more than XXX million irrigation pumps) to electric drive or to"

"Sodium batteries have an enormous disadvantage: they need to be bigger than lithium batteries to hold the same electrical charge. So this doesnt solve the #1 energy crisis problem: transportation. Theyd be far too heavy to electrify long-haul trucks tractors locomotives ships and other heavy-duty vehicles that run on diesel"

"Busting five myths about the Alberta oil sands Myth: Oil sands emissions are unchecked. Reality: Oil sands emissions are strictly regulated and monitored. Producers are making improvements through innovation and efficiency. Myth: There is no demand for oil sands production. Reality: Demand for Canadian oil which primarily comes from the oil sands is strong and rising. The worlds appetite for oil keeps growing and its not stopping anytime soon. According to the latest EIA projections the world will consume about XXX million barrels per day of oil and petroleum liquids in 2050 up from about 104"

"A genuine orbiting solar power generator meant to provide electricity could turn into a weapon if the computer hiccuped and allowed the down link beam to drift off target by a few degrees slewing the beam across the countryside and barbecuing whatever was in its path with a few gigawatts of microwave radiation"

"Absolute nonsense. Halfway through the intended grand global energy transition we've achieved only a small relative decline in fossil fuels' share of world primary energy consumptionfrom nearly XX% in 1997 to about XX% in 2022. But this marginal relative retreat has been accompanied by a massive absolute increase in fossil fuel combustion: in 2022 the world consumed nearly XX% more fossil carbon energy than in 1997. By 2023 absolute reliance on fossil carbon rose XX% worldwide since the Kyoto commitment. In that quarter century the world has substantially increased its dependence on fossil"
