The Dawn Of The E-Vehicle Battery Environmental Disaster …Discarded Even Sooner Than Expected

It’s all beginning to dawn on the greens: the looming environmental disaster of e-vehicle batteries.

When it comes to lithium-ion e-vehicles and the environmentalist greens and profiteers:

    They know it’s a disaster.
    We know it’s a disaster.
    They know that we know that they know it’s a disaster.
    But they still pretend it isn’t.*

The huge environmental problems of e-cars are emerging

Now it’s beginning to dawn on the greens: They’ve got a colossal environmental problem in the works – a problem they were warned about long ago and one they’ve refused to believe was real because it clashed with their vision of a green utopia.

Add solar cells to that. They cannot be recycled.
The process to sensitize the cells is called Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)
Like a cake once baked it’s ingredients cannot be recovered. And there’s no economic process to extract the aluminum and silver needed to carry the current of a solar cell.
The cells have a lifespan of about 20 to 25 years. But as they age less power is produced. And of course there are batteries in a solar power system that need replaced as they too age.

Can Solar Panels Be Recycled? {Yes}

Is it economical? No.

Thank you for that.
