What is the useful lifespan of a solar panel? Presuming no physical damage if you are so lucky.
If folks thinks this is bad, they should check out what happens to all the land under those solar farms...
The panels are just a preview of coming attractions.
Probably less than the stationary wind turbine blades.
Upwards of 20 years for well made ones but now most are made in China so ymmv.
Solar panels are worth it in places where it’s impossible or cost prohibitive to bring electricity.
Wind turbines are only cost effective on the about 8% of locations on the planet that get a good steady wind most of the time.
Coal is kinda nasty.
NatGas is good clean fuel and nuclear is da bomb, figuratively speaking of course.
