The Wall Street Journal | Henry Miller, M.S., M.D. and Andrew Fillat
November 4, 2021
Either for ideology or profit, climate activists promote wind and solar solutions despite the enormous carbon footprint to manufacture them, their intermittent energy production, and the monstrous cost and pollution required to manufacture and dispose of batteries for green backup.

In truth, a sexual assault had occurred the previous month. The teenage perpetrator was recently convicted of that sexual assault and is set to face another sexual assault charge that allegedly occurred at a second school in the district.
