And in another article I read, it was pointed out that wind generators AND solar panels are made with rare earth metals, which are, well, rare. And most are found in very undeveloped countries or China. And a lot or the mines are not modern and you have 12 year old kids lugging up rocks from the mine. AND the disposal of these solar panels is not a clean thing. AND the turbine blades contain a LOT of materials that can't be recycled. There are places in SD, Wy, and I think Sioux City or someplace in Iowa where they just cut them in thirds so they fit on a semi and hall them to these towns. There they are just stacked up in dumps.
