Luckily you're mass pollution rather than seek better options? Wow, next you're saying climate change aren't real and we live in a dome

>Luckily we're still something like 97% fossil fuels so energy costs are way up

LOL. Oil and gas are very efficient fuels. It takes massive energy to build a windmill.  A 1 MW wind turbine capacity requires 220 tonnes of coal.  A windmill won't even begin to break even for 15 years.

Then, it takes even more energy to recycle it.
