The Renewable Green Energy Paradox
Did you know that after about 15 years, solar panels lose their effectiveness and are no longer useful, after which they go to waste.

However, this waste is not like ordinary garbage, it is incredibly toxic and poses a significant risk to the environment. In fact, solar panel waste is 300 times more harmful than nuclear waste, and its disposal requires a costly and specialized method. Unfortunately, many countries send this toxic waste to poorer nations.

This issue is only going to get worse as by 2030, we will have 8 million tons of "green" waste, and by 2050, that number will balloon to a staggering 80 million tons of solar panel waste that will likely have reached the end of their lives.

So my critical thinking side of the brain is acting up again.
