Is it mostly early inefficient panels that are now obsolete?
Heheheheh.
Isn’t “planned obsolescence” a b!tch?
Libtards always make messes for others to deal with 🤪
Solar panels have only been the thing for homes for the last
15 years or so. So how are we running into 25 to 30 year
problems at this point?
These hysterical articles are getting tiresome.
Green energy.
The “windmill” landfills are even worse. They’re taking up a lot of real estate. They needs to ship that crap back to Canada and have them recycle it.
Boy, it seems that the best way to screw up the planet is to go green.
Perhaps they could be used as wall panels for homeless shelters. Unless, of course, it is better to spend $600,000 for every one of those shelters.
It seems that EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH TURNS TO “MERDE.”
I just hope that the masses begin to see what the LEFT has in store for us.
Can you actually say that out loud in public. Next someone will say Algore was on the grift too.
I’d like to laugh, but it ain’t funny.
The same is true with wind. Imagine tens of millions of obsolete wind turbines in 20 or 30 years, the blades removed, and the towers abandoned in place blighting the landscape as far as the eye can see. The blades cannot be recycled are and buried. It really irks me that you cannot open a surface coal mine without posting a huge reclamation bond to restore the site to it's former virgin condition before mining, yet you can bury hundreds of tons of concrete and steel for each windmill and not pay a dime to restore the site when they wear out.
Orben said the economics of the process don’t make a compelling case for recycling. Only about $2 to $4 worth of materials are recovered from each panel. The majority of processing costs are tied to labor, and Orben said even recycling panels at scale would not be more economical.
So you have nothing left of value when they are worn out. These days, you cannot buy a car battery, paint, engine oil, or tires without paying a "disposal fee" that is supposed to deal with the waste at the end of the products' economic lifetime. Why aren't such fees applied to these highly toxic solar panels?
Don't answer. That's a rhetorical question. We all know the answer.
Uh oh. This is a Yahoo article. That, of course, means a far left bent and they are saying there is a problem with solar waste? Not good. Not good at all. That means the problem is much worse than they are reporting.
EASY SOLUTION: Open more landfills. No need to Save the Earth, when you’re SAVING THE PLANET, which is far more important.
...or something like that, I think. I guess.
50000 years from now the pyramids will have crumbled into dust.
But the bits and pieces of the Green Agenda will still be cluttering up the wasteland.
Yes, but $1.85 electric bills are great! Seriously.
Hire Illegals to separate the waste.
No longer a problem.
Go green!
Which is not the consumers fault.
Blame the lying greenies and media for deceiving people about how clean “green” energy really is.
Next, a disposal fee like batteries and tires.
The only things renewable about renewables are their problems.
and cost
and unreliability
and pollutin
and cost to make
and environmental impact of mining the materials to make them
and child labor
Other than that and other things, they’re fine.
