  1. The other point he makes is putting the CO2 in a cycle. Nuclear is the best solution today. Solar only works in desert areas, otherwise you have to clear large tracts of trees and plants for solar farms. Wind seems like a good solution, however the bird population suffers. Species that are on the brink of extinction are being killed by the Wind Turbines. There are other types of turbines, maybe the Vertical Wind Turbines, but without testing, I’m not sure they are any better. From what I’ve read, the gearboxes hold 60 gallons of oil, and when I drive through the windfarms in Kansas each summer, instead of seeing white blades, I see grey or black blades, where the oil is leaking from them. In Kansas, there are 100’s of Thousands of windmills, as far as the eyes can see.

    Questions I would ask you:
    1. Is climate change really about killing the environment??
    2. Or would it be better to only place solar panels on building in developed areas, and planting tree’s instead of large acreage solar farms??
    3. There needs to be another analysis, how much CO2 is created to mfg solar and wind? How long to operate before offsetting the CO2 created to make them.
    4. Plants (🌲 🌳 🌾) place the CO2 in a cycle, maybe planting more vertical gardens and trees will help with the CO2, and stop tearing down the Amazon Rain Forrest, which is the largest CO2 converter on the planet??
