Gold, platinum, palladium … just grows on trees I guess? Maybe in China. Here in Canada it definitely comes from mines. Source: have been inside several gold mines that definitely existed

Renewables are insanely light in power density, and the world literally doesn't have enough resources to support zero emissions through Renewables. It's nice that China is still working towards the end goals, but people need to look beyond the warm fuzzy feelings from headlines and actually examine the long-term. Not just the short-term.
