The original idea was to have witty, rhyming repartee. Reality is somewhat less than that. Always supportive of conversations worth having.

Solar panel waste is not something you need to concern yourself with. Even if people are upgrading panels after 10 years this waste is insignificant compared to sooooooooo many things. Recycling materials in solar panels is probably a good idea, but it's not something to stop you getting panels today.

If waste is a concern for you, you should be switching to solar panels since they produce so little waste compared to other energies like coal. Like hundreds of times less. You probably should be caring more about, tires, mattresses, single use plastics, vapes, the packaging everything comes before solar panels.

Not the now frequent storms washing actual billions of dollars of highways, buildings and bridges away. Not the massive 80 million acre loss of Canadian forest in wildfires. Not the droughts ending crops, NONE ARE THE CRISIS.

They are the WARNINGS of the coming never ending crisis, the ever more costly destructive crisis.

Build the new energy.
