Depending on China

It is time for the people pushing wind and solar to wake up. In today's world most of the solar panels and wind mills are made in China and in addition most of the rare earth metals needed for these products are mined in China. If the US wants to depend on wind and solar for their needs they may find themselves in the same position that Europe is in regards to depending on Russia for oil and natural gas. It sometimes appears that the people pushing wind and solar are unaware of the environmental hazards with this approach to solving the problem of climate change. If they are they rarely mention it.
