Mike,

    Thanks for these articles

    I had personal experience with these attacks on the so-called hidden costs of renewable energy sources when  a petroleum engineer sent me an article about wind turbines that had outlasted their usefulness are gong to fill up land fills because the fiberglass that they are built with are not recyclable. I posed this question to some experts at CCL who countered that there are efforts to recycle wind turbines with new technology and to build them out of recyclable materials. 

     A lot of this comes from engineers and fossil fuel advocates who regard environmentalists as naive or uninformed about the scientific  consequences of what we are promoting. I think we need to show that our positions are science-based, and that we do acknowledge upstream and downstream carbon consequences of our advocacy for renewables but whatever these consequences, they pale in comparison to what happens with fossil fuels--witness the proposed fracking offload facility  in Marietta.
