    that article simply states that there is no PLAN.......it doesn't say it isn't possible to recycle the lead, cadmium, and chromium......besides, in the comments someone points out that modern solar panels no longer use cadmium......

    Anything can be recycled in theory but the costs are prohibitive. They will just be dumped into landfill in China, surely you know that? Conservative estimates state that there wil over 20 milion tonnes in China alone in the next couple decades.

    As always Kunzgar is full of shit!! The Chinese cut back solar subsidies last year and the industry is in a state of collapse.

    Solar Industry Struggling In China, Following Subsidy Cuts
    By Paul Homewood

    Funny how the renewable lobby keeps telling us how cheap solar power is. China’s solar industry is apparently falling apart at the seams, since subsidies were cut last year:

    and we would do the same thing here. At least China had the excuse for some of it's "One Belt One Road" initiatives that the new cities they are building like in western China were so remote and this wasn't retrofitting.

    But even there the costs are prohibitive without subsidies -and the carcinogens/heavy metals
    are an ecological time bomb

    There is this incredibly mistaken belief by many that renewables are eco-friendly, they are not. Obama did much to foster that notion but he was hopelessly ill-informed.

    China and the US are different countries. Yes, renewables are cheaper than coal generation. Stop being such a moron. https://www.theguardian.com/environm...s-energy-study

    Only when figuring in Nat Gas are renewable cheaper (per article), and that is for the US only -
    not say for China or India

    You're the one that talked about China in the first place. I comprehensively destroyed you, any normal person would shut the fuck up and lie low but you're not normal.

    your drugs have addled your brain. The point which ypu are too stupid to get is that China will use less coal to generate electricity. Will you ever stop being retarded?

    Public utilities are begging the PUC to up the minimum charge for grid access because residential solar is kicking ass so thoroughly.
    People with solar don't even incur bills without a fabricated min charge. Guess how many chernyobyl (sp) or sea of japan or accidents happen with solar panels?

    Zero.

    Get sufficient battery power in your house and you can cut that stupid grid chord too along with cable. The only thing that is going to collapse to big energy utilities serving consumers.
