What the US does with dangerous solar panel waste right now.

It's pretty amazing that such a trivial failed form of energy can have so much toxic impact before it does a single meaningful thing, but it's actually the case that it is creating a toxicological nightmare.

7. You are assuming that I wish to hide my agenda, which is not the case.
I have not made a secret at all about my opinions on what does and does not constitute clean energy.

I do not in any way, shape, or form apologize for my oft stated sense of certainty that nuclear energy is by far, the cleanest, safest, and most sustainable form of energy there is.

It need not be perfect to be vastly superior to everything else. It merely needs to be vastly superior to everything else, which, happily, it is.
