Waste from discarded electronics (especially consumer electronics) has long been a problem.
These articles that were just posted describe the challenges ahead.
I don't think it would be realistic to expect that all the problems associated with End Of Life for solar panels would have been solved before the expansion of the solar panels industry.

I don't think it's common for people to throw away the panels... usually someone who already has solar... that has invested that money, will often just upgrade them. The solar company doing the work will almost always take the old photovoltaic panels and recycle them because in many cases they can be reconditioned.
The thing I'm concerned about is not solar panels... but the wind farms. They produce more waste, and cost more overall than they produce in return. In the end, the government basically subsidizes them.
When I drive through Texas, there are 10s of thousands of windmills. They do what they do, but it's a huge expense. A single Gen-3 or Gen-4 nuclear power plant would eliminate the need for probably half of those, and would literally be powered by the leftover 1970s and 1980s waste from the Gen-1 and 2 power plants.

The left's rage against nuclear power is one of the tragedies of insane anti-science policies, one of many, brought to existence.
The clawback of 50-years of technological progress is just sad, because they misplaced Climate Shift, away from science to a political weapon to gain control over agenda and tax grifting.
But we deserve the politics we get. So let's continue to enrich rent seeking leftists at the expense of everyone else.

Completely agree. Whenever you see responses to nuclear power on say, Twitter or anywhere else... and it's NOT a bot, the responses are totally asinine. They are so confident about that which they are so absurdly wrong about... saying that they don't want a Hiroshima or Nagisaki... like... really? Do you not recognize the difference between a nuclear power plant and an atomic bomb? And then they brag about being so well educated and intelligent because they have a bachelors degree in a totally worthless program from some **** school no one has ever heard of.

Here's a guy who seems not at all optimistic about the prospects for Small Modular (Nuclear) Reactors.
| quote | | Michael Barnard is a member of the Advisory Boards of electric aviation startup FLIMAX, Chief Strategist at TFIE Strategy and co-founder of distnc technologies. He spends his time projecting scenarios for decarbonization 40-80 years into the future, and assisting executives, Boards and investors to pick wisely today. Whether it's refueling aviation, grid storage, vehicle-to-grid, or hydrogen demand, his work is based on fundamentals of physics, economics and human nature, and informed by the decarbonization requirements and innovations of multiple domains. His leadership positions in North America, Asia and Latin America enhanced his global point of view. He publishes regularly in multiple outlets on innovation, business, technology and policy. He is available for Board, strategy advisor and speaking engagements. |

"Shoveling Money Into Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Won’t Make Their Electricity Cheap"
| quote | | Wrights Law isn’t going to save the deep inefficiencies of SMRs. As I pointed out two years ago, the world tried tiny commercial nuclear reactors in the 1960s and 1970s, they were too expensive. |

Does he look like a "raging against nuclear" Leftist? A leader of the anarchistic Occupy Fission movement?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 03-30-2023).]

Yes, but Rinse... who's even concerned about small nuclear power plants? We have many dozens of them already in service and they work perfectly fine. They are in the majority of our air craft carriers and deep sea submarines. But that's what they're better designed for.
This is a fairly liberal video, but decent enough to explain things...
The video is a little bit behind when it comes to the tech, even though the video is a year old. China is already building Gen-4 nuclear power plants (which we designed)... so people are already doing it.[This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 03-30-2023).]
