Solar Panels, for CIVIL discussion

Don't have an issue with solar panels per se... usem if you wanna.. your business. If the math hashes out.. go for it.

But don't try to tell me they are good for the environment. Manufacturing them and the rare earth minerals involved is a nasty process and they are not making any plans on what to do with them after their power output drops to 0.

Just like those hugely expensive CFL bulbs we were told were going to save the planet... which are now banned in many states. Turns out creating millions of expensive mercury filled tubes is actually bad.. who could have known?
