Factual error: the speaker suggests that the CO2 emissions of building wind turbines cancel out any climate benefits. This is inaccurate. Wind turbines last ~20 years. Taking construction emissions into account, they can achieve carbon "payback" in a matter of months. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960148111002254 https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/06/whats-the-carbon-footprint-of-a-wind-turbine/

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/1861157570783637550
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.
