Solar Panel Waste: A Disposal Problem

We all know that those massive bird-killing wind turbines now are built to only last 20 years.

Solar photovoltaic panels, whose operating life is 20 to 30 years, lose productivity over time.

And here’s a real eye-opener:

Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than do nuclear power plants. If solar and nuclear produce the same amount of electricity over the next 25 years that nuclear produced in 2016, and the wastes are stacked on football fields, the nuclear waste would reach the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa (53 meters), while the solar waste would reach the height of two Mt. Everests (16 km). 2

But the eco-freaks really don’t care. All they’re concerned with is their insane agenda of doing away with proven energy sources for “alternatives” that will create more harm to the ecology.

Conclusion- Solar photovoltaic energy is not as environmentally conscious a choice as many think it is. Besides being an intermittent source of energy and more expensive than traditional technologies, it has serious waste disposal issues that few countries are tackling. The hazardous materials used in their construction are not easy to recycle and can contaminate drinking water.4

We've already had a viable prototype molten salt reactor up and running

Sure, a small prototype, rather primitive by modern standards. Not even close to being economical.

Anyways, what's the point of bringing it up? Even now, no nation on earth has a practical molten salt reactor running. Research continues. That research might come to fruition someday, but it's not something that could have been deployed in 1980 to combat global warming.

And never ever reach break-even on the "carbon footprint" that is caused by manufacturing, transporting, erecting, and maintaining them.

Who told you such an insane story ,and why did you fall for it?

You repeatedly asked me who the regulatory change would affect the grouse. I told you to read the article. You seem to have gotten no further than the first paragraph. Is reading that much of a strain on you? Keep trying. It will get easier with practice.

You are truly dumb since I exposed YOUR lack of reading that article of yours since you didn't pay attention to the Environmental Impact Statements, the one I asked you about.

It hasn't been implemented yet, you silly boy!

For the record, I READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE!

 

[Crick]

Then you know what the projected impact on the grouse would be and your repeated questioning of me was just a bullshit game.

 

[skookerasbil]

Lol.....wind power is a joke.

Nobody cares either way

 

[skookerasbil]

So how impactful will "the science" be on energy 25 years from now?

Evidently......not much!!

About that bullshit game...

Lol.....

You dolt.....carbon footprint for wind / solar is near zero because the amount of electricity they produce is near zero!!

You are the stupidest fuck with whom I've ever had the displeasure of becoming acquainted. In all the years you've been posting here you have NEVER, EVER, EVER said one fucking thing that was worth the three grey cells required to read it. You are a complete and utter waste of whatever resources this planet provides for your continued existence. Do your god a favor and go so far away even he can't find you.

 

[SSDD]

The fact of the matter is that wind turbines reduce the number of raptors and bats within any area they are placed by 50 to 70% within the first year...

 

[Likkmee]

Geothermal is where it's at but worldwide parks have control of the most of them

You are describing yourself skidmark...nothing but a puppet...no critical thinking skills, no informed opinion of your own...just a puppet with someone else's hand up your ass moving your jaw telling you what to say....and whoever is talking for you is little more than a congenital liar.

We could have had a viable molten salt reactor decades ago but the morons in Congress thought a bad Jane Fonda movie was a true story.

There's a great deal of new technology that increases the safety of nuclear power systems. And the risks of nuclear power require that all such measures be used. However, the benefits of nuclear power, particularly now when we need to phase out fossil fuel systems as rapidly as possible, cannot be understated.

You missed the starting point: moving away from fossil fuel.

why do we need to move away from fossil fuel? Do you have a alternate power source as reliable?

Several. Do you have one that produces as little CO2 as solar, wind and nuclear?

 

[sparky]

The key word is ease restrictions

Which the Trump administration has repeatedly promised

because domestic energy sources can't compete w/out them

So....now that it applies across the spectrum to alt energy, it's construed hypocrosy ?

seriously....

It was never drill baby drill....it was always shill baby shill.....

Dismantle the wind turbine farms. They are inefficient, costly, and kill birds. Put the focus on fossil fuel production that actually powers the world.
