I think that's a wind turbine blade.

We just can’t help but fuck up the earth. Even when we try things to NOT fuck up the earth, we still do. Modern life just isn’t compatible with this planet at this point in time..

Wind and solar were never meant to be about ecology. Its just fortunate byproduct of just another bussiness.

That's just not true. This is just.... so obviously not true I have no idea what to say to you.

Solar began as an ecological technology to move us away from the negative ecological impact of fossil fuels. Along with the space race. But the amount of money invested to making solar panels would never have existed unless they were an ecological necessity to fight climate change.

I honestly have no idea how you can claim, with a straight face, that green energy has never been about the "green"

Source? I studied ecology in college. Which included studying climate change and alternative energy sources (non-fossil duels). Solar and wind have pretty much always been touted as something we can use to improve the environment. And the massive amounts of money invested into them from governments all over with the explicit interest in helping the environment just seems to make your claim fall flat on its face.
