"The first phase of an integrated solar and battery project under construction in the Philippines has been officially synchronised and energised, less than 15 months since groundbreaking and on the way to becoming the world’s largest such project.
The massive MTerra Solar project, when it is fully completed, will boast 3.5-gigawatts (GW) of solar and 4.5-gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage."
but where is nature ?
What happens to the nature when you frack or drill for oil?
Also the nature can happen underneath those solar panels, which have been shown to create a microclimate that works very well for some crops.
You'd be amazed to learn about what can leak out of fracking wells, drilling rigs, or the refineries lined up in what's known as Cancer Alley.
Battery recycling is becoming a Thing, and a profitable thing at that, so that entire field is spinning up now.
@wgwz @CelloMomOnCars Solar + battery generation isn't some new experimental thing that's never been done before.
When you buy a lead-acid car battery you know what it's made of? Almost entirely old car batteries. Battery materials are almost 100% recoverable and reusable.
Newer types of batteries are just as recoverable, but the new batteries are mostly made of newly mined materials because the total number of such batteries is growing rapidly, while the total of car batteries is steady.
@wgwz @CelloMomOnCars I don't know a lot about Philippine politics, so that might be valid.
It does rather sound though like you're pivoting about what exactly you're concerned about. I'm not interested in trying to engage in Gish Gallop so I'll wish you a good day.
