Graveyard of the green giants: It's the hidden cost of our dash for windpower - thousands of decommissioned blades that are so difficult to recycle, they are just dumped as landfill "By 2050, it's predicted that the world will need to dispose of two million tons of wind turbine blade waste every year. In the UK, the volume already exceeds 100,000 tons per year." "by 2050, up to 78 million tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life and the world will create another six million tons of photovoltaic waste every year." Oh wow, so green!!?!?!
That sounds like something you read on a retard's blog. Nobody spends $10,000,000 on a windmill just to break even. The people spending their money aren't doing it because the are dirty hippies trying to save the planet. They want an ROI. Windmills wouldn't exist if they just broke even.
As for the heavy metals in solar panels. That's just something you read on a retard's blog. What the retard isn't telling you is that the heavy metals are IN the panel. They aren't leaking out. They aren't going anywhere. That's pretty safe.
