I worked in oil/gas for a long time. In addition to "windmills are killing all the birds", here are a few of the top green energy lies I've heard:
1. Solar panels are toxic, require more energy to produce than they generate, and can't be recycled.
2. EV's are worse for the environment than ICE vehicles.
3. Lithium mining is worse than oil/gas drilling.
4. Solar/wind prices are skyrocketing and everyone is abandoning solar/wind.
5. Solar/wind can't work because they're too intermittent.
6. Climate change isn't real OR climate change is real but natural and unstoppable OR climate change is helpful to the planet (these opposing beliefs are often repeated back to back)
