It's not so much the subject matter of this article, but rather, the idiotic term "clean energy" in the headline which calls for a strong rebuttal. You see, in the upside-down world of Marxism / Globalism, the "dirty energy" produced by coal, oil and natural gas is actually "green" because the CO2 which they emit is a NATURAL ELEMENT NEEDED FOR SUSTAINING LIFE ON EARTH. Deceptively referred to as "carbon," it is CO2 which nourishes plants and trees. Conversely, what commies and libtards call "clean energy" can be very dirty and anti-environmental in ways that most people have never paused to think about because most people do not think (too much work).
Mainly, there are 4 ways in which "Clean Energy" is actually "Dirty Energy" and truly anti-environmental.
CO2 is CLEAN and GREEN energy! Back to 5th grade, boys & girls:
Photosynthesis the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from CARBON DIOXIDE and water. Photosynthesis generates oxygen as a byproduct.
* Cobalt Mining
Cobalt is an essential element for the lithium batteries that, among other uses, power Elon Muskrat's electric cars and store energy from solar panels and wind mills. Cobalt residue reaches the environment through air-borne dust, surface water / rivers, and, supposedly, even radioactivity from mining areas. As even the proponents of Green Energy acknowledge, particles emitted during the cobalt mining consist of emissions which may cause nausea, heart problems, and thyroid damage. Oh, and the mining process requires a lot of "dirty energy." Having said that, we are not opposed to the extraction of Cobalt for better batteries, but, like any other form of mining, it too has its environmental downside.
* Solar Panel Pollution
The problem of millions and millions of solar panel requiring disposal is a ticking time-bomb that will explode into reality within the next decade or two. The panels do not last forever and are very difficult to recycle. In time, and even long before obsolescence, pollutants such as lead or cadmium wash out of the fragments of solar modules.
From: Forbes Magazine (May 23, 2018):
"Solar panels often contain lead, cadmium, and other toxic chemicals that cannot be removed without breaking apart the entire panel. 'Approximately 90% of most PV modules are made up of glass,' notes San Jose State environmental studies professor Dustin Mulvaney. 'However, this glass often cannot be recycled as float glass due to impurities. Common problematic impurities in glass include plastics, lead, cadmium and antimony.'”
Air contaminants stick to the surfaces of solar panels, preventing light from reaching the solar cells. They can be quite expensive to clean.
* Windmill Pollution
When fully functional, windmills are a noisemaker and an eyesore -- an ugly blot on otherwise pristine landscapes. But it is when these metallic monstrosities become obsolete (like when government subsidies run out, or they blow up) that the environmental degradation really begins. Over the decades, an estimated 15,000 non-recyclable windmills (and counting) have been left to rot across America alone.
Turbine blades are mostly made with fiberglass or carbon fiber heated together with resin. The final product has be light, to combine into a material that is light and yet strong enough to withstand the elements of nature. Consequently, the monsters are very difficult to recycle. At the end of their working life, the big blades have to be buried underground.
* Windmill Bird Slaughter
With special government permission, an estimated 4,000 Bald Eagles, America's symbol, are being "wind-o-causted" by these turbines of terror each year. If any of us mere peasants were to inadvertently kill a single one of these magnificent and rare creatures, we'd be facing hefty fines and jail time!
The Wall Street Urinal, in an article titled, "An Ill Wind: Open Season on Bald Eagles," reported:
"A 2013 study estimated that wind turbines killed about 888,000 bats and 573,000 birds (including 83,000 raptors) in 2012 alone. But wind capacity has since increased by about 24%, and it could triple by 2030. 'We don’t really know how many birds are being killed now by wind turbines because the wind industry doesn’t have to report the data,' says Michael Hutchins of the American Bird Conservancy. “It’s considered a trade secret. .... golden eagles, which are rarer than bald eagles and are being whacked by wind turbines in far greater numbers."

* Those numbers are surely greater today.

All in all, good old fashioned coal, oil and natural gas are, ironically, actually more environmentally compatible than much of this "green" garbage which the New World Order crime syndicate is imposing on the world. Add this to the long list of crimes for which these people need to be executed.
Ugly, inefficient, noisy and non-recyclable metallic monsters.
