biodegradable, heavily toxic 'RE' RUBBISH?? I ask you and why is it increasing much faster than expected??
That's because it wears out much faster than expected. You know all those ridiculous calculations on the so-called cost of 'RE' are wrong, wrong wrong!! I'm quoting from the Institute For Energy on the subject of 'RE' premature aging.
"The claimed 25-year life span of wind turbines has in reality been just 7-10 years before having to be replaced along with their enormous blades (so they'remassively unproductive). .
As a result, massive wind graveyards have popped up such as two gigantic ones in Texas. The issue has been exacerbated by the government providing the tax subsidy again to wind turbines that have repowered by replacing their blades." (so we pay for all this!!)
"Similarly, operators and manufacturers in the solar industry are now seeing premature aging of their solar panels due mainly to their inverters. Many older inverters are failing in about 10-15 years. Further, most of the manufacturers of these inverters — the companies that were supposed to maintain them and guarantee their performance over time — have gone out of business (these carpetbaggers don't want to pay for this). Energy being sold as “green” is proving to require more “green” money – from consumers and taxpayers." (panels are just as bad and worse because there's so many more of them).
Now that's the US. Let's try OZ on for size. Katy McCallum recently showed this massive solar factory from Kilkivan region with half the panels smashed by hailstones - a regular occurrence. (Not an 'extreme', 'unprecedented', 'never before in the history of mankind' weather event caused by those two unspeakable words, C.C). No, just ordinary weather like every other press beat-up.
Then there's the NT debacle of 4 yrs and 3 solar factories either giving very little or no energy to the grid. Oh, yes there's a big study showing how these little diddums degrade faster in the heat and have problems with voltage changes and mechanical stresses. Then says it's all due to more heat (that we're responsible for -NOT!). They're paid to write this rubbish because we have some hot days in summer like we always did (oh, that's right 'they' don't want you looking at the records).
So why is that a huge, unbelievable problem for the whole world?? "Well the world has installed more than one terawatt (i.e,. one million, million watts!!) of solar capacity on rooftops and at solar farms. Solar panels have an average capacity of about 400 watts, resulting in as many as 2.5 billion solar panels worldwide. As the solar panels are retired, many of the panels end up in waste disposal sites as the infrastructure to scrap and recycle them is lacking.
"The International Renewable Energy Agency's official projections claim that large amounts of annual waste are anticipated by the early 2030s and could total 78 million metric tons by 2050 based mostly on a 30 year life cycle for the solar panels." (but we know they don't last nearly that long - so it's twice or more as bad!!).
"This is true of most green technologies as cold weather (oh yes, did anyone say G-g-g-global cooling- that's our dirty little secret) affects the range that EV batteries can perform and humidity affects the longevity of solar panel wafers. (so either way we lose!) These issues can mean that solar panels will pile up in waste disposal sites, as retired wind turbines are doing, faster than expected as there are few recycling centers available.
"Politicians, regulators and the industry have not dealt with the solar waste disposal problem that will begin to loom in the near future." (that's because politicians are all corrupted, bought off and they really haven't got a clue what's going to happen!).
