A report published by MIT Technology Review by Cassey Brown sheds light on how mining for minerals might reverse the benefits of Green fuel. There is an abundance of minerals that are required to build the infrastructure for renewable energy, however, mining those minerals might cause a lot more harm to the environment than good. Even the construction and rare mineral used in Renewable energy infrastructure will have a severe impact on the environment and its health.
The Spotlight actor commented on this report, highlighting how important it is to make sure that the infrastructure is built with more responsibility. The actor wrote,
“…we technically have enough materials to build renewable energy infrastructure, actually mining & processing them can be a challenge. If we don’t do it responsibly, getting those materials into usable form could lead to environmental harm or even human rights violations.”
This is not the first time the actor has spoken about climate change. He has been a vocal and ardent supporter of the cause for a while now.
