I'm sure that this cute video, like the videos of the hydrogen buses, trucks, lawn mowers, helicopters and beard trimmers, suggests there is "no problem."
Well there are academics who don't agree that the useless solar industry - that has done nothing at all, any more than the hydrogen scam as done - to slow the collapse of the planetary atmosphere.
I don't think the authors of this paper about a 30 year old solar cell that "still works" - how well isn't clear - will be inspired to retract this paper: Preeti Nain, Annick Anctil, End-of-life solar photovoltaic waste management: A comparison as per European Union and United States regulatory approaches, Resources, Conservation & Recycling Advances, Volume 21, 2024, 200212.
And let's be clear; they claim that solar junk is cleaner than gas and coal, without recognizing the reality, that without access to gas and coal, the solar industry could not operate, all the "green hydrogen" lies, prevarications, cheap ads and cute videos notwithstanding.
The point of all this misleading horse manure rests on a claim that a specific case represents the general case, whether there is some hydrogen bus somewhere that hasn't yet blown up, or a hydrogen helicopter, a hydrogen kitchen blender, whatever.
The general case is that the solar industry is dependent on fossil fuels and has been so dependent forever and always will be. There is not enough land on this planet to assume that all the trucks hauling millions of tons of solar waste around will be powered by the "green hydrogen" chimera.
One of the things that the fossil fuel industry does - besides demonizing the nuclear industry in their own interest - is to produce mindless abstractions and outliers as if they were real.
They're not real. The planet is burning. All the bullshit has done nothing to prevent that outcome.
Have a nice day tomorrow.
