> externalities associated with mining materials to manufactur solar panels and wind turbine

Solar panels can be recycled, so eventually they will need very little mining.

I think you're being disingenuous while accusing others.

Even if all the solar panels in the world were recycled, you’ve barely scratched the surface of the points I made.
You haven't made any.
