What's problematic about solar panels?

There's a reasonable amount of waste biomass generated by farms that can be used in various ways without growing it specifically for that use.



Mainly recycling.


And the problem with that? Seems we can reasonably easily recycle the vast majority of solar panels, no differently to any other electronic good.


Even if you couldn't recycle them, they'd be a much better solution than what they replace.

The fact that you can recycle them just makes them even better.


People just like using "problematic" as a content-free slur that's acceptable in "progressive" circles that bypasses critical thinking.
