Solar Panels' Legacy Is Toxic Waste without the ability to dispose of it...
SURPRISE!
...and the bill for the rush to solar power / panels is already coming due.
To fully replace fossil fuels many, MANY more solar panels will be needed, increasing the levels of deadly, environment-destroying toxic waste.
So mich for solar being a safer, more reliable alternative....
"The Times' Rachel Kisela reported that many solar panels that were purchased beginning in 2006, when the California government "showered subsidies on homeowners" to inspire a transition away from fossil fuels, are now reaching the end of their lifespan.
"Beginning in 2006, the state, focused on how to incentivize people to take up solar power, showered subsidies on homeowners who installed photovoltaic panels but had no comprehensive plan to dispose of them. Now, panels purchased under those programs are nearing the end of their 25-year lifecycle," Kisela reported.
The Times reported that "as California barreled ahead on its renewable-energy program, focusing on rebates and — more recently — a proposed solar tax, questions about how to handle the toxic waste that would accrue years later were never fully addressed."
"Now, both regulators and panel manufacturers are realizing that they don’t have the capacity to handle what comes next," she continued."
