Comment on Solar panel waste may not be as bad as we thought

Well, sure, its negativity was always overblown by those in bed with oil company's. But, there is a grain of caution here that nobody is talking about and that is, yes Solar power is one of the clean and infinite powers available to us...But the materials required to build PV panels do not last forever and the Earth is not producing anymore of it; so technically we cannot claim this tech is sustainable forever. So, there is a need to engineer a design, and buy it when available, that is itself recyclable at the end of its 15+year service 'life".
