So called green energy requires more resources, AKA- minerals and land, than FF or nuclear; and therefore, more oil and gas energy and byproducts for mining and processing the minerals. Green energy does not use the energy rich fuel that FF or nuclear does, so it will take more resources, including land, with associated environmental consequences.
Trying to tame the mining associated with this is like trying to make a house pet of a Tasmanian Devil. Green energy will never be sustainable as it is energy poor and energy inefficient and therefore will take more dirty mining in order to satisfy the government's draconian mandates on the premise of anthropogenic climate change. It's economics and mineral availability!
So, you want to lessen the impacts of mining? It will take 4th Gen nuclear for the workhouse of energy resources with new developments in materials and upgrading of energy usage components like housing and appliances.
And government can't solve this. The best solution is to remove all the most oppressive, unreasonable draconian government regulations and let the private industry and free market decide. Progressive government hardly ever fixes anything! Why? Because big government is for bigger government and self-sustaining itself!
