How about just taking that prick’s?
Mt. Kisco-with a “c” and not a “k”
She is still probably an idiot.
Then these swine should be made to live in one room shacks without heat and electric but with a supply of cricket flour and a bucket to crap in, for at least five years. Same for all of their family members and any politician and bureaucrat who ever plays ball with them. The people who direct and manage these entities are a pox on humanity.
This perverse, ultra-scumbag Dimon should be in jail and not pontificating about anything.
What chemicals are in solar panels that, when broken, leach into the ground?
I do not know. I assume they come from the manufacture of the plastic panels. You’d have to look that one up.
Apparently in some parts of the country like Missouri that are subject to violent storms, some panels get damaged and whatever is inside the panel itself is carried off by the rain to the ground.
Not only are we growing food to put in gas tanks, but we are systematically making prime (rated 1-5) farmland unusable forever.
Panels are made of silicon and then they're usually doped with boron and phosphorous to create positive and negative charges,respectively, and then whatever frame they're set in, so some type of probably aluminum frame and the clear polycarbonate top. The worst thing in them would be some lead solder
New panels are made from plastic in China. A female farmer was interviewed a few days back on Fox.
And? Most panels are and have been made in China. I’m no proponent of solar power, but use your brain on this. Plastic takes decades to decompose. Now possibly if a panel is damaged and the garbage left where it is, in decades there would be some yuck chemical leach into the ground from the plastic. This seems easily mitigated by clean up of broken equipment. It’s not like a liquid chemical is spilling out of broken panels and polluting the ground. That’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works.
I mean, if you believe this female farmer I assume you’re farming all your own food so none of it touches plastic and all the water pipes in your home are copper. Though I can pretty much guarantee that if you’re not on well water that the water coming to your home from the water treatment plant is touching a lot of, probably Chinese made, plastic.
Give it up.
“At the same time, permitting reforms are desperately needed to allow investment to be done in any kind of timely way. We may even need to evoke [sic] eminent domain – we simply are not getting the adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives,” Dimon wrote.
Those "investments" sound like private business projects, not government use projects, which is what eminent domain is for.
The Kelo vs. New London, Conn. SCOTUS ruling badly abused the concept of "public use," twisting it into "public good" instead. The argument was that seizing private property and giving it to other private owners to create a higher tax base was a "public good." It turned out that the company never built on the seized property, and New London lost tax revenue as a result.
Justifying seizing private property for "public good" is a roll of the dice. Kelo must be overturned at some point.

You can lead a horse to water... stay ignorant my FRiend.
Concurring bump...solar panels do contain heavy metals that pose some long term toxicity risk if they leech into the ground water near land fills, but not immediate risk to the land they're set up on.

Solar farms use plastic ones at least in some installations in the south run by overseas corporations - silicon ones are too expensive.
Your home panels are likely silicon. There’s a difference.
First off, it doesn’t matter, plastic takes decades to break down. Secondly, plastic is not replacing silicon because plastic is not a conductive material like silicon is. There is some research into other materials than silicon being used, but so far are not commercially produced. Those could have some organic materials in them that can contaminate soil. Sorry, no matter how much you want solar panels to break open and contaminate the ground underneath it’s just not happening.
I understand some of the large farms have series of pipes circulating different chemicals, including water in some cases, for cooling effects. But this is different than what you are describing. Perhaps you misunderstood. Or maybe whoever you got the info from was wrong or just flat out lying.
Plastic is a cover/a shell/a panel of sorts like TV panels and the stuff inside can get exposed a storm, if something like say a tornado hurls debris which penetrates the shell, exposing the innards which rain carries to the ground.
Well it does happen frequently - no matter what you care to imagine. Just the cost of doing business on big solar power farms.
Blaming the messengers is always an excellent way to deflect and discredit.
Sure, except what you described doesn’t happen. You’ve got two people here telling you that what you’re describing isn’t a thing. You should read about what materials are actually in the finished product. There’s plenty of issues with solar panels, including the dirty manufacture process, but seriously, the panels aren’t leaking stuff into the ground the way you say. They *can*, if the glass breaks, and if the air tight encapsulation breaks and then if it’s left unrepaired for years. Generally those are situations that happen once they are decommissioned and sent to landfills. Go. Read. Learn something. Good luck to you.
