Dark Side To Solar? More Reports Tie Panel Production To Toxic Pollution

A major new study of the economics of solar, published in Harvard Business Review, finds that the waste produced by solar panels will make electricity from solar four times more expensive than the world’s leading energy analysts thought.

More that points to the liars and perverts who push this garbage.

“If early replacements occur as predicted by our statistical model,” they write, solar panels “can produce 50 times more waste in just four years than [International Renewable Energy Agency] IRENA anticipates.”

Storage lol! GW,, TW, MW for big cities? Storage? In what? Are you sure?

Any little they generate on Solar oil daytime is used up if it is working that day. Lol!

Now you got millions of panels headed to the landfill you green dope.

I just referenced an article that talks about all the toxics associated with them.

Solar with storage costs the same at midnight as in the daytime.

You can't show that to be the case, anywhere.

A bunch of dumbfuckery in that post. Seems that there is a little matter of the loss of Russian natural gas that has forced rapid build out of renewable, meanwhile paying for for natural gas from other sources. And in South Australia, where that is not the case, and renewables and storage have been rapidly developed, the grid is not only far more robust, but the wholesale price is significantly reduced.

In South Australia, wholesale electricity prices declined in the fourth quarter of 2024. The average price was $53 per megawatt-hour, down from $114/MWh in the previous quarter and $80/MWh in the same quarter of 2022. For the full year, prices fell 44 per cent1. The falls indicate that the global gas price shocks are easing, and that renewable energy is driving down costs in South Australia2. The administered prices cap wholesale prices at $600 per MWh, and South Australia prices fell 32% in 20243.

Does the government subsidize green utilities?
