Oh, THOSE unintended consequences. Think I read somewhere recently that in order to produce 1 ton of crystals for solar panels, it also produces like 9 tons of toxic waste during the process. Kinda like the battery problem that is only going to get worse once the tesla giga plant gets in to full swing. Not to mention abandoned wind generators spoiling one's view shed.

Besides that, there another potential negative impact that’s easy to research. Solar farms have a negative impact on the surrounding environment. Consider the butterfly effect (small changes at the onset lead to large impacts caused by the chain they create). Those changed environments surrounding solar farms can lead to really bad consequences over time.

So why the disconnect? This toxic reality, along with the detriments to electric cars and wind power let us know this is all agenda driven rather than by technological and market forces. It all just adds in to the ease of being a climate skeptic. If one says it isn’t about the toxic residue, but rather reducing CO2 emissions, then one is still stuck on why not nuclear?

was my understanding that solar panels were mostly silicon and minute traces of a doping agent along copper traces a few solder joints - but mostly sand

If Trump had not proposed solar panels for the “Wall” would we even have heard about this “problem”?

I’m thinking DJT just pulled in another big fish - “Big Mouth Liberals”

He threw out the line last week - baited it with “solar powered wall - my idea”

Now that it’s supposedly HIS idea, they scrambled to get the truth out regarding how toxic solar power really is/will be.

So now, if he cuts back on solar power - what can they say? THEY have put out the massive report against solar power.

Pres. DJT, the Master fisherman.
