Green stuff

As people gain in understanding the energy transfer the world is going through there is one area that points out the irony of this transition. It seems those who are pushing the new green deal are the same people who oppose mining in the United States. They seem to be unaware that the production of windmills, solar panels and electric cars requires the mining, processing and disposal of the elements needed to manufacture the materials of the new green deal. One explanation is that they are uninformed or naive but a more likely explanation is that they are not really interested in climate change but rather social change. In insiders of the new green deal readily admit their interest is in the social aspect but many of their followers are not aware of this aspect of the deal. Here is quote from the NY Times The goal of the Green New Deal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the worst consequences of climate change while also trying to fix societal problems like economic inequality and racial injustice. Note the second half of this statement of purpose. This is the aim of those who are intimately involved in the green deal.
