Indledning
If we don’t find an alternative renewable energy source, our fossil fuels will be depleted by 2060. The world has therefore begun to outsource, and the best renewable energy source on the statistics right now is windmills.

Wind turbines have 99% less carbon emission, than coal-fired power plants, 98% less than natural gas, and 75% less than solar panels

thus is windmills, the best solution for renewable energy, as the alternatives which also generate less energy, has a much bigger carbon emission.

Uddrag
The following section will analyze the form of appeal, respectively Gout and Ambrose are using. The Today Tonight report by Henrik Gout is put up against the article from The Guardian of Jullian Ambrose

whether a collision between the environmental cost and the solution to renewable energy is a compromise we can make.

Henrik Gout reports on Today Tonight, that supporting wind power can have a terrible price to pay. There are multiple detriments when making a windmill.

Not only the materials used, the carbon emission, but also the land acquisition, noise disturbance, visual appeal, TV interference, and bird fatalities, wildlife, and habitat. Mark Parnell, who was a former leader of the SA Greens, says that “It’s a collective issue for the planet”.

Building these windmills creates a toxic, radioactive lake, so deadly that no life can exist in it. The rare earth elements consumed making the permanent magnets for fitments into the towers of the wind turbine are colossal.

A 3-megawatt turbine uses 2 tons of rare earth elements, and in 2019 22.893 wind turbines were installed, globally.

If an average turbine on 3-megawatt, uses 2 tons of rare earth, the consumed rare earth elements just from 2019 would be 45.786 tons of rare earth.

This amount of rare earth needs to be mined from the ground, which results in these toxic lakes, due to the excavation. People also migrate from the area, due to the pollution.

Where 2000 once lived, there are now only 300 left, with at least one family member sick. Some people have claimed to have health effects related to the proximity of the wind turbines.
