And then on the page they have an ad for solar panels. Oh the irony

DAMAGE CONTROL ALERT

An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the environmental risk posed by heavy metals in consumer photovoltaic arrays. This story has been edited to clarify that panels containing toxic materials are routed for disposal to landfills with extra safeguards against leakage, and to note that panels that contain cadmium and selenium are primarily used in utility-grade applications.

An earlier version of this article also misattributed a statement by Evelyn Butler, vice president of technical services at the Solar Energy Industries Assn., to Jen Bristol, the group’s senior director of communications. It also misidentified the group as the Solar Energy Industry Assn.

An earlier version of this article also failed to properly attribute quotes by Jigar Shah, director of the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, to their source, a 2020 interview with PV Magazine. The article has also been updated to reflect Shah’s current professional affiliation as well as that of Sam Vanderhoof.

An earlier version of this article also stated that 25 years was the life cycle of photovoltaic panels; the text has been updated to reflect that 25 to 30 years is the typical service life but not a fixed limit. Additionally, in a discussion of transporting photovoltaic panels to recycling or hazardous waste disposal facilities, the word “cells” has been changed to “panels” for accuracy.

We see everyday the negatives for green energy, yet they keep pushing it lol

This reminds me of those scenes ... I think it was from somewhere in Europe... where a bunch of electric cars were just left to rot in a field. Trying to find that again, if someone can help me that would be great!
