Oh, the new “renewables are bad” talking point. Unlike the general feel of the article I think this is actually just in time. The first TW took 70 years to install, but the second took 2 years (2024). Given 20 years of operational life that means that the quantities starts to accelerate by the end of the 2030-thirties. Which is when the article states that there will be price parity between recycling and landfill…
However, at least here, the cost of landfills has increased and will continue to increase so it quill only be a matter of time…
This article isnt sayjng “renewables are bad”. Its saying “EPR is good”. We need those frameworks in place preferably before we get more panels ending up in landfills, because that’s simply wasteful.
