Yes, that thread was started by me that i linked to a few posts back. It's is based on the report i linked (the whole basis of that thread) that you discredit.

Unclean at Any Speed - IEEE Spectrum

"Unclean at any speed," is an opinion piece. It takes from many factual resources and comes to the conclusion that reducing fossil fuel use is the fastest and best short term answer to clean up the environment. That point has merit. The OPINION that solar panels and electric cars (key phrase: "in every instance") are detrimental to the environment compared to petroleum vehicles is false. There is no report that will say that because facts are facts and opinions are opinions.
