Don’t worry, the same actors who are very worried about recycling EV batteries (but now phone and laptop ones for some reason) will ignore little things like useful lifespan or reuse, focus on how few solar panels are getting recycled compared to being built, and then go back to explaining how all these renewables are really so much worse for the environment than perfectly good Clean Coal and gas pickup trucks.

I think it’s really good that for once people are thinking about the end of a product before the waste becomes a problem.
