Ian Bradford: The wind and solar transition is using up our valuable resources - all for nothing

The anthropogenic climate change cult reckons we are well on our way to an all wind and solar powered future. But the demand for raw materials like copper, is already outstripping supply. Inside each wind turbine there is a range of rare minerals which are quickly becoming rarer. But there are also a number of more common minerals like iron ore used to make steel for the tower, and copper for the turbine generators, cabling and wiring, and the miles of transmission lines. The same applies to the seas of solar panels.

Ian Bradford: New Zealand should stop building more wind and solar farms immediately

I have written before under the heading: ‘There is nothing good about wind farms.” The same can be said about solar farms.

Just to recap:

1 They either take up a huge amount of valuable farm land or large areas of often native forest, are blitzed to make way for them.
