"So much for renewables. My 25 solar panels are 13 years old. They are old tech and producing little electricity, so they need replacing.
Replaced the 25 panels with 21 new ones that produce the same 5kw. Took my old panels for recycling at the waste disposal today only to be told $40 for each panel please. That is $1000 to dump my old panels.
Needles to say, I know where there is a very deep hole that is now full of panels.
Tell me what happens in 15 years time when there are millions upon millions of panels to be disposed of at $40 each?
The disposal of a few drums of spent uranium will be insignificant when compared to the amount of waste solar panels and wind mills that will be piles up in a few years."
