If the financial cost of Net Zero doesn't alarm you, the physical reality should.
A wind turbine commissioned in 2025 is essentially e-waste by 2045. We're currently using high-density fossil fuels to build low-density wind solar replacements that cannot reproduce themselves.
Now meet turbine decay: 300,000 turbines - most with non-recyclable blades - will hit landfills by 2040.
Solar decay: Billions of panels with a 20-24-year lifespan all need to be replaced - possibly twice over by 2050.
Grid crisis: National electricity grids were never designed for intermittent power. It's not just being updated, it's being forced into an unsustainable configuration. We're replacing a self-sustaining energy system with a high-maintenance 'disposable' one.
Welcome to a dark future of perpetual rebuilding.
