What I was talking about was the “crash” program that would be required to mine the copper and aluminum to build the umpteen thousand wind turbines and gazillion acres of solar panels required to eleminate fossil fuel usage within AOC’s 10 year deadline .
Not to mention all the electric motors to replace all the internal combustion engines in our vehicles,shiips and airplanes.
As I said I am pretty ignorant in this area but I am reading and learning some. I have enjoyed this thread,some serious intellects posting here.
