UK fires up coal power plant as gas prices soar

Wrong... as usual.

What does it take to build a solar panel?  What is it made of?  How much petroleum goes into it?  What do those materials do to the earth that they are discarded in?

What about the batteries required to store the DC power from solar panels?  Do you just discard lead/acid or lithium batteries in a landfill?  How are those batteries made?

Explain how harvesting and manufacturing the materials for those two products (solar panels and batteries) is not damaging to the climate.  Explain how discarding those materials is not damaging to the climate.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
