"Although scientists are agreed that we must cut carbon emissions from transport and electricity generation to prevent the globe's climate becoming hotter, the most advanced 'renewable' technologies are too often based upon non-renewable resources including indium and platinum — resources that could dry up in 10-15 years if they were widely used in the renewable energy market."

Interesting frying-pan-meet-fire, due to scalability, article. I dunno how much I trust "The New Scientist", but it's certainly interesting.
