Green decisions

Environmentalist are facing some tough decisions. Start with oil. The world needs oil and will get oil from where ever it is available. US oil is the cleanest oil and produced in the cleanest way of any oil producers. Wind and solar needs mining to get the raw materials. The US would mine these metals in the cleanest safest way of any country so should the US start mining. If the goal is to increase the number of EV's will the US mine the materials needed for batteries or will they continue to use child labor in Africa. Will the greens be able to offer a way to get these materials in the best way for the planet without having the US get actively involved in the manufacture of EV's. It is time for the greens to admit that going green will cause considerable harm to the earth. I have always been confused by the green people because they never seem to think about their programs. When the first thought of windmills entered their minds did they ask, what happens when the wind stops. When solar panels were first suggested did anyone ask, what happens when the sun doesn't shine. When they pushed for EV;s did anyone realize that fossil fuels would be used to charge the cars. Did anyone propose an answer to the question, what will be the back up power source for wind and solar. Did anyone of these people believe that airplanes could fly on batteries. These questions were not considered because for most of these greenies the it was all about social changes and not about climate changes.
