Is there a study on the energy/pollutive effects of manufacturing solar panels/wind farms to create clean energy? I’m referring to the mining for the rare metals and raw material required to build the PV panels and wind mills to create clean energy, including mining lithium for the batteries….
going all electric should also open the conversation to bring in small scale nuclear. I know it can be thought of as taboo, but if we are switching transport, buildings etc., solar and wind are currently not going to provide the load demand. Has this entered the conversation?
If heat pumps or other refrigerant based systems are the future replacement of natural gas heating systems, will there be unintended consequence of WORSE warming due to leaks from refrigerant based systems?
Is propane a better household fuel source than natural gas?
I watched Dr. Schiller speak on this topic earlier this month with Citizen’s Climate Lobby. I was impressed by the depth of her knowledge on the subject and her passion about the impact of climate change on health. This is a much needed conversation among building professionals too and I am so excited to have her speak at GBRI’s FREE webinar series. Looking forward to moderate the session Joan and her son Craig Schiller whom many of us are familiar who has hosted courses on Green Schools and Net Zero with GBRI.
