« COPPER🧵redux. I live near one of the largest copper mines on earth (Kennecott Utah Copper - KUC). I helped manage a smaller copper mine for 8 years. Observation: Wind/Solar/Battery Proponents & ESG bean-counters are completely out of touch with copper mining & production. »

A long thread on the carbon footprint of copper, its importance in #renewables (wind, solar, #batteries), how depletion of mines increases the price of copper, etc. After that I really don't understand why people still ignore that #peakrenewables is around.
