While I agree that wind and solar are great, we cannot pretend that these technologies aren't without their own problems. Wind turbines require a ton (literally 1 metric ton) of REE elements that are found in or associated with radioactive minerals like monazite and zircon.
This creates huge radioactive waste piles.

Everything has pros and cons, to be blind to the problems will lead us to create more environmental catastrophes in the rush to fix the current one.
