I’ve seen a few people posting stuff saying that renewable energy systems (solar, battery, wind) aren’t sustainable because they still need mining and processing to make them in the first place. This is disingenuous and seems like green purity-spiral stuff (and I have unfollowed one person posting it).

@drmikepj Yep, Solar and wind is totally unsustainable - like a toaster.

You made some toast, and now you have to buy a whole new toaster because you destroyed the old toaster by making breakfast yesterday.
