Green Energy -- Is It Really Green. Our Next Environmental Crisis.

from Ramblings of an Old fart. -

A lot of things are happening to make green energy safer and Green. But there are some issues. It might seem like I am against green energy, but not true. I just want us to make sure it's green and I mean really green, Not just another environmental crisis of our own making.After all, Green energy cannot be truly green if it creates another environmental crisis in it’s place.. The Scale of the ProblemThe "waste tsunami" is no longer a theoretical projection; the first generation of mass-market solar panels and early EVs are now hitting their 15–20 year retirement age.By 2030 it is estimated that trees will betas much as8 Million Tons Of used up solar panel waste.3 Million Tons of EV Batteriy WasteBy 2050 Those numbers are Projected to Be As much AsSolar Panels 150 to 200 Million TonsEV Batteries 20+ Million TonsAt this Point I don't see a cohesive plan in place to deal with the Hazardous Waste.The other issue is that We build huge solar farms out in the desert but many times the infrastructure down the line isn’t sufficient to handle the load. I read an article not too long ago, that in California it is estimated that approximately 40% of the solar energy produced is wasted, With That in mind is it cost effective, is it still green.
