Keep Your Solar Waste Out of My Backyard!!!

Maybe we should all go back to Nuclear?

Yes I am using humor to make a point.  The point is that all industrial activities create toxic wastes if some manner.  Even so called non polluting environmentally friendly solar panels do.

Iwasthere and Dennis,
Rick I'm sure is just saying this playfully.  But seriously, let us keep the discussion and education going.  Iwasthere, you would be happy that I am currently reading up on Tesla, Nikola.

Well, well well...  Apparently "green" technologies also generate TOXIC waste.   Yet our resident environmentalist has never come out publicly against solar panel TOXIC waste.

"Records also show several Silicon Valley solar facilities created millions of pounds of toxic waste without selling a single solar panel, while they were developing their technology or fine-tuning their production.
