The problem is that it validates the claim to offer a “solution” (it isn’t) to the “problem” (it isn’t). It’s counter productive to validate the claim by offering this retort. It’s also not even the second time I’ve seen this being trotted out. It’s at least the third, maybe fourth.
I’d be more than happy with seeing these things repurposed into something useful. If we’re in a position where windmill blades are littering the landscape because we have a preponderance of cheap/ free/ non polluting energy, that’s a good thing.
Assuming this is a non-issue like you say, I still don’t see why that makes this a problem?
Why? This makes it seem like we can only concentrate on one issue at a time and that by making biodegradable blades we’re somehow stopping something more ‘worthwhile’ from happening? We can do multiple things at once. Even if this makes only a minor difference, I still don’t see why that’s a bad thing? Surely any attempt to improve things is a good thing, no?
You are validating bad faith criticisms by engaging with them. You give them substance by addressing them. These are the exact kinds of things that the fossil fuel industry has been funding for literally decades to create confusion/ uncertainty around renewables. By engaging with and sharing content like this, you are doing their work for them. By asking and then answering non-issues like this, it validates the idea that there was a problem with renewables to begin with. Content like this is the result of 80 years of fossil fuel company psyops campaigns.
The primary goal of these campaigns is to create confusion/ uncertainty; to elevate non-issues into concerns: precisely what this content does.
