"New York will help save the climate by 2040 when we reach net zero!"
Politicians spew a lot of garbage that sounds like they care about the environment when they're at their podiums. The idea that New York State could be "net zero" with emissions by 2040 has real extraction numbers behind it that everyone needs to know.
These politicians have never cared about the environment, ever, and that includes Governor Kathy Hochul who is pushing the destructive Climate Act that was created in 2019 on our rural towns and villages through ORES.
To get to this made-up net zero concept by 2040, NY needs (based on its own planning documents) 60+ GW of solar and 9 GW offshore wind, plus large onshore wind expansion.
With solar alone, 5 tons of copper is needed per MW.
The total copper needed? 300,000 TONS of copper.
That does NOT include aluminum framing, steel racking, silicon processing, and silver.
New York would also need hundreds of thousands of tons of steel, concrete, and aluminum, as well as lithium, batteries, neodymium, and dysprosium.
That comes to over ONE BILLION tons of mined material over decades to reach "net zero." For just one state!
And what none of these social justice politicians want to say out loud, or for you, the common folk, to know...
New York is outsourcing most of this mining. Here's where our mined materials are coming from:
Copper → Chile, Peru
Lithium → South America, Australia
Cobalt → Congo
Rare earths → China
While these politicians tell you they are "reducing in-state emissions" and "saving the climate," they are driving permanent environmental damage and extraction elsewhere at scale.
It's a modern colonizing story, one in which the green energy empire is exploiting lands far away to convince you that they are working to save the environment.
There are not enough resources on planet earth for every green energy-obsessed country to reach net zero. It's a LIE. And the politicians and corporations are getting rich off this arrangement while the public remains unaware of what they are really doing.
Everyone must wake up to this and soon.
