Ep. 335
Misesmedia’s video “The Green Energy Lie” argues that solar and wind power are not viable replacements for fossil fuels. The video highlights issues with resource intensity in manufacturing, energy loss during transmission, and reliability challenges during extreme weather. It contends that solar and wind require significantly more mined materials and extensive infrastructure, ultimately leading to higher energy costs. The video suggests that despite subsidies, green energy sources cannot reliably replace traditional power sources and are more suited as supplementary options.
