  • What is toxic in solar panels? While I’d love it if they would actually recycle the silver, copper, and 99.99% pure silicon, most of the time it ends up the same place the fiberglass turbines do: ground into industrial sand for concrete. Also the aluminum is already recycled anyway. There are several recyclers for solar panels popping up as the scale of solar increases to better take advantage of the materials, but they are already fully recycled Also coal plants are shutting down and being edged out by natural gas anyway. I don’t know what sources you are using, but they are either out of date or wrong.



  • Logic only proves something based on the starting axioms. People more often than not think based on a logical framework, but often with axioms and heuristics that differ from our own usually based on who and what they trust, what benefit they’d like and how much for they need to use to get it, and who they see as their ingroup and outgroup. People often think in terms of these kinds of relationships to maximize internal goals and benefits and minimize loss and repulsion.

    As much as I would love if everyone could be on the same page and do their own thing, people’s desires naturally conflict especially when there is scarcity or someone feels backed into a corner.
