Is Green Energy REALLY green?

Solar panels, power walls, wind power... It's all about Renewable Energy! In fact, it's all being pushed to often insane degrees. So the question is: Just how 'green' is Green Energy? Is it gonna save us all from certain doom, climate change, and space invaders? Well... As usual, it's complicated. Let's take a deep dive into the fascinating (and sometimes confusing) world of Green Energy!
