It’s a common right wing/climate denier/faux concern troll line of attack against wind and solar that the materials can’t be recycled. What shows that these concern trolls are nothing more than that is that they don’t say the same things about the CO2 they’re creating.

Oh, just in case someone wants to whine about a fake thing - the cobalt that is in their phone/laptop batteries ARE NOT in power grid batteries. And are not in a majority of car batteries these days either.

Edit - solar modules will be 100% recyclableas well via multiple paths.

Indeed, this both counters that BS and gives the benefit of affordability. Double win for renewable energy!

Up until this brand new discovery that has been being worked on over the last decade the crazy people you speak of were 100% correct. This is great news but the issues people were previously worried about was real until this new discovery.

When you dismiss proponents based on newly discovered tech that was not available when the proponents made their concerns heard you take away from your credibility. Let's pull your head out of your ass and critically think for a moment. If what they said was true how were they trolls? You're the only troll I see here
