Here's the "green" tech they're telling us we need to adopt 100% by 2035 to avoid environmental catastrophe:
"My concern is the hail damage that came through and busted these panels we now have some highly toxic chemicals that could be potentially leaking into our water tables," said Kaminski
[A]dmium telluride, copper indium selenide, cadmium gallium (di)selenide, copper indium gallium (di)selenide, hexafluoroethane, lead, and polyvinyl fluoride.
In 2022, Popular Science reported on 4 solar farms that violated the Clean Water Act. In 2021, journalist
Michael Shellenberger wrote an article for Forbes where he warned that solar panels produce 300 times more toxic waste than nuclear fuel. While the International Energy Agency reported that heavy-metal leeching into groundwater is below the level of concern per World Health Organization guidelines, one has to wonder how that changes when the toxic parts are shattered and broken over 4,000 acres!
"There's numerous makeup in the chemicals on this thing," Fugua said. "The majority of them are cancer-causing."
