Solar is not cleaner, and it’s not better (even Progressive filmmaker Michal Moore realizes this now), but even if it were either of those things, we’d still have the problem of carbon-intensive toxic front-end manufacture and the problem with what to do with them at their end of life.
The latter is the business before the NH legislature (HB1459). Create a plan, so we don’t run into the problems they are already having in places like India, Japan, and China. … but local Solar Guru Dan Weeks, a vice president at renewable energy company ReVision Energy, and the Go-To guy on the NH left for all things Solar, says,
…because the solar industry is so young in New Hampshire, and there are so few solar arrays, the state is “decades away” from having a significant amount of decommissioned solar panels.
And, he says, putting the kinds of requirements HB-1459 proposes on solar manufacturers now could have a harmful effect on the availability and cost of solar panels, stifling a nascent industry in the state.
Passing the cost to solar down to other people is no big deal but this, how dare you. …
Also, keep in mind, Weeks is all-in on the Climate Cult scam, and why not, his business thrives off that.
So, he’s in favor of bilking us out of millions and billions of dollars today to address climate change – the anticipation of theoretical problems in the future – based on prophecies by prognosticators who’ve yet to accurately predict much if anything about the climate or even the weather.
And, we’re decades away from that problem.
Investments that benefit the future of companies like the one for which Dan Weeks work. A company that wants no part of investing their own money – sorry, that of their customers, to address the very real not-so-future problem of toxic solar waste.
