[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact - Electricty is produced with 60 to 70% of fossil fuels

Another Fact - It takes 30,000 lbs of Iron Ore to produce 30 lbs of Cobalt for each 1,000 lb EV battery.[/quote]
Fact: electricity used to be produced with nearly 100% of fossil fuels.

Fact: [b]Republicans have fought all progress toward clean energy for the last thirty years.[/b]

Fact: point source pollution is better than non point since it can be regulated, cleaned up and improved.

Fact: a solar array on a home can power your car https://news.energysage.com/solar-panels-and-electric-cars-can-i-use-solar-to-charge-my-vehicle/ (That would be zero carbon pollution for those having trouble keeping up). [/quote]
Clean energy is not clean at all. How do you think those solar panels are made, plus all the equipment needed, plus transportation. We couldn't even make them or maintain them without fossil fuels.[/quote]

Yes, clean energy is not 100% clean, but as people are trying to argue, it is signficantly cleaner than fossil fuel consumption.  Some progress is better than no progress.  Yes, we cannot convert entirely to clean energy sources and it isn't 100% cleaner, but any advances are still advances.  First, fossil fuels are being depleted and to extend the fossil fuels that we have as long as possible, alternatives are needed.  The more alternatives that we develop, support and use, the longer the existing supply of fossil fuels will last and the lower the pollution effects will be on the planet.

The point is that we should be moving as much as we to cleaner energy sources.  We need to support the clean energy industries.  The combination of extending the existing fossil fuel supply for as long as possible, in addition to reducing the toxic and polluting effects are a win-win. [/quote]
