Dear editor,
With regard to the August 9th article, "Rural Wyoming Co-ops To Get More Green Power From Colorado-Based Parent Company," there is no utility-scale "green" or "renewable" or "sustainable" energy on this planet.
The energy sources you cite as being "green" require massive increases in mining; rely on petrochemicals, metallurgical coal, and Portland cement, the largest CO2-producing industry on the planet; have short service lives with no viable recycling; leach heavy metals and other contaminants; have been shown to emit more CO2 per unit energy than many conventional energy sources; and destroy huge swaths of habitat.
That the very foundational concept of the "energy transition" is a complete lie is disturbing.
Having news sources like yours mindlessly parrot this propaganda is more so.
Sincerely,
Mike Robinson
