I wonder how much additional energy is now

Lead free solder! Does this mean I have to stock up on leaded solder,
for my own use?

Absolutely ! Home use for non-commercial reasons, is not subject to the
diktats of the lead-free solder eco-police ... Commercial items originally
constructed with leaded solder, need not be - and indeed *should* not be -
repaired using lead-free. Go for it fella !!
