This chart overstates the materials intensity of solar by 5 times. It leaves out important context that coal requires an additional 1.2 million tonnes/TWh of mining to supply fuel, 660 times the material required for solar and 1,200 times what is required for nuclear. https://thebreakthrough.imgix.net/Updated-Mining-Footprints-and-Raw-Material-Needs-for-Clean-Energy_v3.pdf

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1841485860346183971
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
