That's a no **** Sherlock if there ever was one. Hopefully the mezz is breaking.
1:The panels are still producing 80% of their capacity at end of life.
2:The solar cells are encapsulated in glass so unless they’re damaged they shouldn’t be leaking anything.🤔
“Green” is the color of the money the purveyors of this sham make. People did things the way they did before the ‘green’ hysteria because that was in fact the most efficient, cost effective, and practical way by simple natural selection of ideas given all variables. How to skin an animal, how to grow wheat, how to raise a family, how to treat criminals. All this time earned wisdom is being tossed out the window by the psychotic ‘world leaders’ bent on some twisted vision.

Dems don’t get it. Unexpected consequences get them every time because they are too stupid to consider the long term consequences of their actions. The phrase “What if?” does not exist to them.
there is another solution that will be greener, cheaper, and function as power-on-demand instead of maybe-power-this-time
The department expects ... that recycling will become even more crucial as cheaper panels with shorter life spans become more popular.”
That means the department considers recycling “crucial” right now.
As usual, though, recycling is cost prohibitive, and is not happening.
So much for “crucial”.
And so much for a government department not beclowning itself.
But I thought renewables were going to solve all our problems forever!
Yep. Most people do not realize that solar panels wear out and that they are literally toxic waste once they do.
Nor do most realize all the energy that has to be put into creating them in the first place.
They are not really “green”.
I’m sure the powers that be will pass a tax on the folks in California and that will take care of the issue.
Latin America is sending their trash up here. Let’s reciprocate by shipping all our “green” trash down there.
The owners of the solar panels need to be charged for the cost of safely disposing of them. They need to bear the burden of their actions. The rest of us shouldn’t have to live with a poisoned environment because of their selfishness.
But hey, banning plastic straws will save the planet, so...
Biden seems to be much in favor of the “green energy” so maybe we could ship these “recyclables” to Delaware. Wonder ing how long before the whole state could be a landfill area?
“Vanderhoof said. “But in reality, it’s all about the money.”
Duh.

Many are already winding up in .. contaminate groundwater with toxic heavy metals such as lead, selenium and cadmium.
Save the climate destroy the soil and water a hell of a plan huh Moe.
