I had to search for the oldest cat after reading this.

Please do your research. The cost of wind and solar keep declining - solar at a much faster rate. I've never come across an article reporting something different. Carbon emissions are also much lower than fossil fuels over the life cycle.

As for materials, some are available around the world, others are not. Lithium deposits are in different countries and other sources are being developed. Some material, such as cobalt, is located primarily in one country - Congo. Lots of abuse of laborers in the extraction process, which doesn't make the news and seems to have been missed by you as a complaint. Researchers are looking for alternatives of hard to source materials or ways to more effectively recycle existing materials to reduce mining.

The widespread transition to renewables is still early in the process. We will learn and figure out ways to do things better. Technology will change. Alternatives to lithium are constantly being tested. Please don't attack something that you don't understand.

A trans person in r/suomi said that they were issued some medication that should stop their body from producing eggs/sperm (don't remember anymore if they were transman or transwoman), but it wasn't of course enforced in any way that they take those, neither was there any test that person is actually sterile.

You’ll just be in debt your whole life often giving your home as collateral so you’ll be unable to move or pay for kids college or other necessities but I get what you’re saying. If you’re willing to go into debt and sacrifice other things for it (and you’re fortunate enough to get approved for a loan) then sure.

well, if you have a "loan on renewables", you won't be paying money towards electricity production so you could use the money you saved to pay off your bank.

Neglectable in this case means that your long-term cost of conventional energy consumption is (very roughly) the same (give or take a few hundred over your lifetime, there are calulators online) as the cost of installing your own pv system.

if you want go to all the way and calculate the total economic value (think energy independency, avoided CO2 emissions, cleaner air, a future for your kids etc) producing your own power will be a lot cheaper.
