Solid matter is not toxic to environment? They have an agenda man, and the powers to wanna be, aint using it for civilization .. "They are cheering the destruction of the United States and Western civilization and are too stupid and biased to step back and look at this objectively. Open your eyes. The Deep State/Neocons/Climate Zealots do NOT want anyone they cannot control. It will be time soon to turn out the light on this Republican Experiment we call the United States. They have so divided this country,.." Destroying Farmland to Reduce Population Everywhere you look, there is this scheme to reduce farming, which will reduce population. That was the whole theory of Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) that the population would surpass the ability to grow food. That is the agenda. Wind generators or solar panels consume one-third of the farmland worldwide. This is what has inspired this thinking that we MUST reduce the population. War is a great tool for that, which is one reason they are pushing World War. In other words, they want to reduce agriculture, shipping, refrigeration, air conditioners, and turn off heat in the winter, and reduce the population by 30-40%, and maybe they would be satisfied. They get to impose their tyrannical policies with absolutely ZERO evidence to support their theory because they ignore that natural cycles have existed for millions of years. Climate has always changed. The temperatures have NOT exceeded historical norms. The data from NYC shows that we have NOT exceeded the highs of 1932 and the days of the Dust Bowl. The mainstream media only repeats what they are told and NEVER does any mainstream media dare to investigate anything. They insist that industrial agriculture, which is employed by the majority of the developed world, is creating climate change. The U.S. food system contributes nearly 20% of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that agricultural land use contributes 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Then, they add the embodied energy required for industrial agriculture, and they claim this gets worse. The manufacture and use of pesticides and fertilizers, fuel and oil for tractors, equipment, trucking, and shipping, electricity for lighting, cooling, and heating, and emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and every possible greenhouse gas they can think of, increases the impact up to between 25% to 30% which is the number used by John Kerry.

Eric, as usual, I like to Google the answer before confirming that people like IQ72 is FOS, as usual. ***** End-of-Life Solar Panels: Regulations and Management (EPA.gov) Are Solar Panels Hazardous Waste? Hazardous waste testing on solar panels in the marketplace has indicated that different varieties of solar panels have different metals present in the semiconductor and solder. Some of these metals, like lead and cadmium, are harmful to human health and the environment at high levels. If these metals are present in high enough quantities in the solar panels, solar panel waste could be a hazardous waste under RCRA. Some solar panels are considered hazardous waste, and some are not, even within the same model and manufacturer. Homeowners with solar panels on their houses should contact their state/local recycling agencies for more information on disposal/recycling. ***** The funny thing is, though, that EOL or damaged solar panels are relatively easy to clean up. Any "toxic chemicals" that broken panels leak into the ground are likely to be minimal and not something that could lead to widespread health hazards, Flint-style. But don't tell that to the "Drill Baby Drill" folks. They like to think that oil spills are easier to contain than broken solar panels. Tenchusatsu

Can't dissolve. Facing Nature's Fury: The Role of Extreme WeatherExtreme weather—be it hurricanes, hailstorms, or floods—poses a real threat to solar systems. However, the extent of its impact has been somewhat unclear. The NREL researchers took a deep dive into this issue by linking solar performance data with extreme weather events tracked by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Their discovery? Most solar systems bounce back quickly from weather-related interruptions, typically within two to four days, resulting in a mere 1% dip in yearly performance. Yet, in cases of severe weather like large hail or strong winds, the long-term effects on solar performance were notably higher. PV systems subjected to extreme weather conditions, such as hail larger than 25 millimeters in diameter or winds exceeding 90 kilometers per hour experienced faster degradation. How to Repair Solar Panel Rust: A Step-by-Step Guide Nov 20, 2023 · In the following sections, we will explore the formation process of rust on solar panels and provide a step-by-step guide to repair and prevent rust, enabling you to maintain
