As far as I can tell old solar panels are stripped of aluminum and copper then the glass and cells are ground up and added to pavement.

Virtually all synthetic oil use some sort of petroleum as the fees stock.

Only the Mitsubishi wind turbines had weak transmissions.

Direct drive wind turbines are a bad idea. The generator is huge. Even a little 1mw direct drive wind turbine is huge compared to a 2.5mw wind turbine generator.
So now you build 1mw wind turbines that use more copper than 2.5mw wind turbines.

We know what fossil fuel pollution is and looks like. For some reason people like to pretend renewable power creates no waste and no pollution.
