I think it is mainly a logical reaction to the blind push for wind/solar at all cost. They are simply not more ethical nor sustainable if you do the full value chain accounting. After 30 years of subsidy they are still a low % of the grid while being completely dependent on unethical labor camp mining of cobalt and many other precious metals. How is this a moral or environmental improvement. Hydrocarbons in many cases (most) is still more economically sound & less environmentally impactful. It’s just math and logic.
Plus, try melting steel & aluminum with wind turbines & solar panels.
BTW, I am a life-long hard core environmentalist.
