collateral damage of solar panels
all i ever hear from the climate change crowd, is that we need more solar.
how much of the science is settled? i have no clue, i don’t claim to know, but i wish i knew.
the answers aren’t as settled or as obvious, as the zealots want us to believe. They just aren’t that settled. someone ask that 16 yer old at the UN if she’s aware of this. i bet not.
solar panels have a finite life to produce electricity, meaning they become trash. they aren’t easy to recycle, and they fairly toxic as it turns out.

You're linking an article by a zealot with a solution, perhaps you missed it.
If the industry responds with foresight, Mulvaney notes, it could end up sparking clean innovation including “developing PV modules without hazardous inputs and recycled rare metals." And that's something everyone can get powered up about.
But it will require investment by someone to develop the green technology, maybe it could be part of your favored Green New Deal.  |

so until we get clean panels, do we keep going with the old
panels, or halt?
and my point holds. the zealots haven’t been saying we need to be cautious with existing panel technology because it’s toxic. all i hear, is consensus that the more panels, the better. if that’s possibly wrong, what else has been wrong? on what other concepts has the consensus possibly been wrong?
these are questions to answer before we upend our way of
life.

The latest report isn’t getting any better, in fact the consensus now is the science now predicts a faster rate of ice loss and more dire sea level rise by the end of the century. You can argue what avenue of innovation we need to go down, but it better start to happen soon or the costs will all be passed on to us all.

I’ve been pro nuclear for years, but you might get Slip’s gun before he’d go for it.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

but trump!!!!
my point, for the third time, is that tree hungers have been pushing solar, saying more solar is better. it appears their science behind that conclusion, was incomplete. where else are there holes in their science?
i’d actually like to hear what rock hound says .

I think they've all hit puberty, so there's that. |
