Wait are you saying that renewables have too much environmental cost to make?

Some do. Hydro is a net positive, not sure about wind but probably, but last I heard solar not so much. That may have changed since.

I know manufacturing panels and batteries have a significant environmental cost. Being a net negative though I am not sure about. Could you link some sources?
